[WIP] Rebrick Porsche

[Victor Imaginator]

Very clean looking model. You're really master of new panels) If I was choosing what to improve - I think that making front bumper slightly longer will make this model more Porsche-looking. Even if this model dreamed of being Subaru)

[MaxSupercars]

I'm not sure what I'm jealous of more, your design ability, your scaling ability, or your panel collection

Right written... Really great work James. I like it a lot. That use of panels is impressive. It looks good from every angle. :)

The gold wheels look pretty good. :)

I also envy your 'design with panels'-skills. I think you could actually do with one type of panel .

I'm affraid I'm more a chassis type of man.

[JamesJT]

Wow! I hope the Rebrick judges like it as much as you guys. Thank you.

If I was choosing what to improve - I think that making front bumper slightly longer will make this model more Porsche-looking.

I keep looking at that too. I'm sure it was longer but maybe I put it back together wrong on one its many rebuilds. I will give it a try.

I'm affraid I'm more a chassis type of man.

I spent loads of time on the chassis too. XL motor on each axel, 4 wheel drive, 4 wheel steering, suspension and a servo clutch on each axel so it can free wheel and use the motors as brakes.

Since it has a clutch on both axels it could still be called a PDK!

I had another look at the scale. If I make it exacly 1:8 then I get a car the same size as the original 911 (but with 400mm more in the wheel base)

Height 1360mm

Length 4160mm

Wheelbase 2400 (still plenty of room for the 3 seat configuration)

Track 1400mm

Seats 720mm wide

All that would make the rims a slightly less ridicules 23".

I feel like every part I add will make the car slower so I'm putting off finishing it while I consider some weight saving.

[Thirdwigg]

I like the new signature.

Yeah, the car looks pretty good too. The gold wheels are boss.

[JamesJT]

These are both 1:8 scale, it was rude not to introduce them.

[Chade]

That is one beautiful looking porsche! It has a scary number of new panels though

[MaxSupercars]

They look really lovely and got very clean design... :)

[JamesJT]

Thank you Chade and Max.

It has 19x18944 and 48x 24116. I spotted the 24116 panel in black on the new Volvo set 42053.

All done. I just need to take a few more photos and make the 1 minute video.

I made the cutaway picture to show how the 3 seats fit in such a small car.

[Thirdwigg]

I really like the white interior, and those gold wheels are great.

[technic_addict]

cool seat design.

I'm still not sure about the gold wheels.

cool seat design.

Thank you. They are like the seats in my stratos, just 2 studs wider.

Keep the gold. It really pops in the pictures.

[Kit Fisto]

Can you make a side picture with both gold/not gold wheels?It can help to decide
