Hi all this will be my next build looks up to Tamiya normal standards but when I first assembled the engine block the fit was awful and I had to use clamps scarily tight to pull the engine halves together (luckily this area is hidden by the timing chain cases) also luckily the gearbox is a perfect fit so maybe the engine halves were warped for some reason and that will be the only problem I get. Which is also lucky as I intend to build the engine on a display stand to be put alongside the car (as if it's just been rebuilt ready to be put back in)The body moulding is awesome hardly any seams at all and the detail in the kit seems incredible
This is the same scale as the Bentley so is quite a large car.

Very nice! Excellent paintwork on the gearbox - you've really caught that patchy effect on G50 cast transaxle housings :smiley:

He's taking photo's of the real thing & passing it off as a model ... Again! :o

These big-scale kits are where your skills really shine, mate! Keep up the good work! :icon_alabanza:

wow, the detail pops on these large scale kits.
I had the pleasure of having to "adjudicate" at a model show on this size car, one of the guys, with a similar porsche, had gone to the effort of putting liquid in the radiator storage and wiper storage containers
Love the colour as well

Hi all well the tamiya supplied engine is done, I've looked on line but cant find picures the throttle linkages, I will have to ask my boss if he has any references (he seems to have an know anything Porsche related (hes an advisor on several official Porsche boards and is highly respected for his knowledge))started the decals, which are great but, the ones round the grill are really hard especially the ones around the square cut outs (if I could have guaranteed the colour match it would have been far and away easier to mask and spray it.

Ps I've barely started the decals (what ever happened to the English version (which I much preferred transfers) decals, where did that even come from you transfer the image from one place to another what you de (cant even think where cal fits in) sorry rant over, I just dont understand it.

Looking good :)

Decal is an English term ;) Decal is short for decalcomania, in turn from the French décalcomanie. At its most popular in Victorian times, decalcomania was/is the industrial process of transferring a design from paper onto another surface (usually a hard surface like pottery or glass).
In other words, 'water-slide transfer' is just a longer, technical way of saying decalcomania.

Thanks for the info.

Done some work on the fuel tank. a word of caution to anyone building this kit. When it comes to mounting the oil tank, on page one of the instructions it tells you to attach the mount for the oil tank, unless you skip ahead and build the oil tank first dont attach the mount in the first picture the bracket on the left had side is for the oil tank (the shelf with the oblong rail coming out from the side.
(https://i.ibb.co/vXnnstQ/IMG-3581.jpg)
The steel pipe laying on its side next to it in the next pic goes into the tank and then into a hole in the bulkhead.
(https://i.ibb.co/4WhbsFn/IMG-3585.jpg)
In the position of the next picture.
(https://i.ibb.co/9q4NH30/IMG-3580.jpg)
Here is a picture of the oil tank in position
(https://i.ibb.co/wYCMnyp/IMG-3583.jpg)
Getting that pipe into the hole in the bulkhead and into the hole in the oil tank with that bracket in place is impossible (on this model of course that bracket was well and truly stuck) so I cut that rail off in order to get that pipe in then glued it back on again.
A better option would have been to attach the bracket and tank with the pipe on at the same time.
Here are some pics of the fuel tank.

I must say I'm really enjoying this kit (although I thought it would take longer to build )
The seat is just placed there not glued loads to do to that yet.

Hi all bought a mirror to mount the 934 on will have the car on axle stands with the engine alongside it, not sure whether to have the tyres stacked or arranged around it, also thinking of putting 2 walls up around it with pictures of the car racing on them I'm going for a look of it being in a museum display.
Any suggestions welcome.

Nice! I like your idea of having walls behind the model with racing photos on them :smiley:

Hi all made a start on the axle stands but had a major set back on the bodywork looked great till I clear coated it and it went matt (strange as I sprayed the bonnet and wings exactly the same way and they are nice and glossy)
I decanted the laquer out of the can and sprayed it through my air brush, the only difference being I sprayed the body this morning (it rained over night) I sprayed the bonnet and wings during the day in the sun (i wonder if it was damp and it has bloomed)

Hi all I decided to add the brake pipes to this kit and was going to use wire but then realised that the working steering and suspension wouldn't work so I added the bracket to the suspension leg and then added a flexible hose from that. Should I mention this was my third attempt(no ones perfect)

Hi all made a start on the display base, still need to make a tool chest for the back corner.

Great tweak.
Looking really smart

Ok so I need something on the tool chest but most of the car is built so not much choice but the rear suspension, problem is the spring plate is moulded integral with the suspension arm (on the car if you were working on the suspension arm you would have left the spring plate on ) so I cut it off and made a new spring plate separate to put on the car (still got to make the casters for the tool chest)

Yes, the steps some people will go to to make us think that they are working on model kits when in reality they are just taking photos of real objects and photo manipulating them to look like models. Shameful!

And there was me thinking I had you all fooled:(

Looking good

For some reason I can no longer update this log or indeed create a new one.

What do you mean? There have been no setting changes made that I can see. Exactly what sort of message or otherwise do you get when you try?
-
When I try to post with pictures I get the message there has been a data error if I then try to post again it tells me you've already made this post
If I trya again I get the data error. I tried to post a new topic but got the same data error.
If I I copy and paste the exact same thing on other forums I'm on there is no such problem or message.

How big are the files and how are you trying to post them?
-
Same as always 600x800

I can't explain the issue as it seems to be working for other people.
