Happy new year!: First model 08 Carrera GT

[fasty=)]

Happy new years to everyone! Did anyone make resolutions?

Anyways, this is my first model for 08! My red Porsche Carrera GT which is my official favorite car in my collection. I've been a big fan of this car when it first came out and finally got my hands on one












I'll try to get more pics later on!

I've often wanted to put a model car into a computer-aided coordinate measurement system. Then, I'd scale the CAD and use that to make fiberglass molds to build a full-scale replica body. Maybe I could throw a DOM tube chassis underneath it. The trouble with doing this with a supercar, however, is that the final result might not be as good.

Better idea: Pick up from a bone yard an older and very common economy car, such as a 5th-gen Civic, and make fiberglass replicas of every panel. Work up a chassis to fit underneath it. Then, mount a Chevy small block, longitudinally right behind the seats, as low as possible, and slap a transmission directly behind that. It'd be the ultimate sleeper.

I lack both time and money to do this, though.

Awesome looking model.
