The Cayman Interseries | modern racecars with historic liveries
 Hello everybody, sometimes little things lead to something you'd never have imagined. In this case, Micha (sportracer02) found a picture of a Porsche Cayman with a racing livery on the internet. He sent an email to a couple of modeling friends. We looked if we could source more pictures of Caymans in racing liveries and found a racing series called The Cayman Interseries. As everyone of us had the Fujimi Cayman kit in stock we decided to start a group build. Mike said he'd help with decal printing and that he would cast a number of parts in resin and create some PE parts as well. I started the WIP thread on April 11th 2010 - and almost 60.000(!) clicks until today proved that the idea of building modern racecars with historic liveries was a rather good one  Many thanks go to all the drivers from the real Cayman Interseries who supported us with detail pictures and information. Many thanks also to David A. Wilks for letting us use the photographs from his homepage pixxbytango.com. Special thanks to Ron Barnaba from Napleton Porsche, who was so kind to let us use the official Cayman Interseries and Napleton Porsche logos. Well.... on to the pictures. All in all we have twelve finished Cayman Interseries racecars, ten of which gathered in Frankfurt this weekend at the annual car model show...                    Sorry for the quality of the pictures, the lighting at the show confused my camera. Will add/replace pictures later. I am sure that the other guys are going to add their pictures here as well... I hope everybody enjoyed the group build and is as happy as we are about the outcome. Two weeks ago we thought we might have a maximum of five cars on display - but once of a sudden we had ten of them! Special thanks to Steven (Klutz100), who came all the way from Poland to display his Pink Shinken  As the Cayman is an alligator in real life and we had a pink pig on display... I couldn't resist to do some photoshopping...

Re: The Cayman Interseries | modern racecars with historic liveries
What an amazing undertaking. This has to be the biggest feel-good thread in ages. My hat is off to everyone that has pulled this project off. The cars are amazing and I really enjoyed seeing some of these liveries I had forgotten about.

Re: The Cayman Interseries | modern racecars with historic liveries
Yes, indeed a great project just like the old days.
And the Cayman's also look very smooth! Did you made the building yourself also? How did you make the clouds/sky? And did you made it just for this project? It looks like the pitbuildings on the Nurburgring, or is that just coinsendence?  Greetz Maurits

 Congratulations also to everyone who managed to finish their Cayman.I had a blast and, thanks to you guys, I started building something again. It was absolutely great getting to meet you guys at the fair and I hope we'll do the same again next year!
