Porsche Safari

[mwhh]

I starting here a WIP of an very unique Safari Porsche. The original cars owns Dr. Erik Brandenburg. He lives also in Hamburg/Germany.
With the Martini he raced at the Transsyberia Rallye and Africa Race.

In this car he drives to work.

In Hamburg are Safaris popular.


Now comes to the model. The base is an Carrera Fujimi kit in 1/24.
First i cut off the bumpers.



In CAD i made new bumpers, suspension, wheels and rims.
A friend go mine printed the parts.

Now the new parts are mounted. I removed the sills, and i made bigger wheel arch.



I'm not happy with the wheels an i made new ones with a smaller profile.

quite a break from the usual porsches here. looking forward to this build

I like those Porsches, and im really impress with the job so far, i think 3d printers are a good tool for us the modelers. Please keep posted your advances. Guillermo

I love seeing Porsches being treated so well and with such detail. Very good job, good luck with the rest!

V cool concept, v cool work.

I could def be convinced to buy those parts as a conversion kit.

What method/material did you print the parts in?

After long time the next update.

I made the tires new with a smaller profile and the "Michelin" lettering. It was to high after a little sanding looks better.



A friend of mine shaped with a lathe new aluminium-rings.
Inserts must be sanding to become smoother.



Bumpers are done

great project there Micha.
You should copy that parts, they look very nice (or if you have also just wheels to sell plz let me know..)

....and I just found around the st27 martini decal for waldegaard racer.

real nice. keep on postin

Very nice concept/car/project!

Lathes, mills and 3D-printing is making my modeling life feel pretty empty :-)

[afxracing]

Great project. I think the smaller tire will look better also.

Please wait for further information. I will find a solution to copy that.

I'm having the Studio27 Martini Decals. Thats really old ones.
But it doesn't suit to the Fujimi body.



Thats why i make my own

Great job so far, I saw the parts in Frankfurt at the modelshow - very promising

[JeremyJon]

Very cool project Micha, and great work, bravo!!

[mwhh]

After a while i finished all modifing parts for the Safari.
I sprayed a test in "dunkelgelb matt".
If anyone is interested in a Trankskit, i will duplicate this at Mike from Scaleproduction?











Take care
Michael
