Ferrari 250 GTO, cobra, Daytona Coupe, GT40 in1/8 scale........interested?

[Capri-Schorsch]

Hi guys,
I was searching the net for a ac cobra a long time.
But now I found a guy who produces scale replicas in 1/4 and 1/8 scale.
He got access to a SLS professional 3d printer.
And a buddy of him owns a big collection of classic cars, including a real Ferrari 250 GTO.
He made tons of pictures and measures the hole car.
For some German modeling I ask him if he can do a GTO in 1/8.
And he told me he already did one in 1/8 and 1/4 scale.
He also did a Ferrari 250TR, BMW M1, and now he is doing a Ford GT40 in 1/8 scale.
So here is his mail to me with the prices for the different options.
These prices are only made for the GTO so far. Others will be different.

Hi There,
Got some pics and prices from the GTO. made the price very sharp.

The body cost €395,-
Body with wheels are €595,- wheels from aluminium
Body with the wheels and interior with all the details in it without wires €1070,-
Body with the wheels and interior with the trunk and engine, €2250,-
Body with the wheels and interior with the trunk, engine and the whole frame €3180,-

For a complete car please give me a mail.#

I think, compared with the prices shapeways is asking for a 1/8 Body, his prices are fair.

If you have any question, just pm me and I will ask him for you.



Just a sample of the print quality.
I should receive my ordered cobra body in the next two weeks.
Than I can tell you more about the printing quality.
On the pics it looks very good.
The wall thickness is about 1mm. That's just like the real car and not to thick.

This is only a question if here are people interested.
Maybe we can a do larger order from him?

Regards Christian

OMG the future is now ! If only I could afford it... although, as you wrote, prices are fair for the scale.

I'm definitely a 1/24 scale guy though...and not rich enough

[Capri-Schorsch]

@chris24: yes this are other prices than from a 1/20 or 1/12 scale kit.
But its way bigger and compared to TDR@shapeways the price is very good.

Now i got some pics from his previous and future projects.































Looks not so bad,i think?

[BVC500]

They're huge! They also look really cool, but I'm a 1/24 guy.

[Capri-Schorsch]

He just told me that he got a database with round about 4000 different cars ready for printing.
So if you need something special, just ask.
Regards Christian

Does he have the ability to scale down, to 1/12, 1/16 or 1/24?

[Capri-Schorsch]

Yes,same question was ask several times today.
What do you need?

[sky1911]

Oh hell yes. 1/12 scale. 250TR, 250 GTO, AM DBR1?

[griffin-gt40]

I'd love a Cobra Daytona. But 1/4-1/8th would be way more than I could afford. But if he can scale down to 1/12 I'd be very interested.

Please keep us informed.

I would love to see him print a modern caterham like the 620R in 1/24. I would buy it in a heartbeat.

[Capri-Schorsch]

My last info was that my cobra body should be ready from the printer this friday.
When i received it i can tell you more about the quality.

Its possible to created the same cars in 1/12 or smaller.
Just pm me for further information.

[Capri-Schorsch]

Take a look.






Fresh from the printer,but still in the factory.

Should be arrive till end next week.

Cant wait to get my hands on it.

regards Christian

amazing models.
I hope to see a gt40 gulf flared in giant scale.

Doesnt he do also 1/24 cars?

[Capri-Schorsch]

The GT40 MK I is just in my mind.
I pull the trigger for ordering when the cobra is here and looks nearly as good as on the pics.
And than for sure in the Gulf livery.

He also does 1/24 scale.But i think he is very busy at the moment.
Sent me a pm for his mail address Paolo.

regards Christian
