    Kar Kraft T44 dimensions question

    Hello Bob, thanks for the info! I've been looking for the ring diameter too but probably used the wrong tags. I guess my scale model is a bit too long, but not as much as it looks. I've been comparing it to the 1/12 scale Trumpeter plastic kit and they've got it definitely wrong, way too...

    Kar Kraft T44 dimensions question

    Hello everyone, I'm currently working on a 1/8 scale model of the MkII engine with the T44 gearbox. Holding the first prototype in hands I couldn't believe the size of the T44, it's so huge! Is there anyone here who could reassure me by telling me the real dimensions of the gearbox as...

    1/8 scale scratch built GT40 Mk1

    Thank you, everyone, for all the praise! I really appreciate it. Pierre-Louis: you're absolutely right, I left them off. Actually, there is no real car I replicated, I purely did what I liked best about the GT40 and I thought the sidemarkers wouldn't look good on the sides. But hey, you're the...

    1/8 scale scratch built GT40 Mk1

    Hello everyone, some time after building the 1/8 model of the Gurney Weslake engine seen elsewhere on this forum I finally completed the main car. It's a fully scratch built curbside model, so nothing opens, the wheels can be turned or steered though. I modeled it using the 1/18 Spark model of...

    1/8 scale G-W engine with ZF

    That was fast - we just got the pics of the first finished engine from our kit. Looks good doesn't it? I'm not sure about the heat insulation on the pipes, was it used on the original engines? Has anybody seen photos of that? https://www.facebook.com/feindesignmodell/posts/481236692036934

    1/8 scale G-W engine with ZF

    Hello Olivier, almost all of the parts were printed on a Stratasys Eden 500 machine with a light-curing liquid plastic. The process is somewhere between SLA and inkjet printing and allows for a layer thickness of 15 microns. The setup of the parts on the building platform has to be chosen...

    1/8 scale G-W engine with ZF

    As a matter of fact I am working on a 1/8 scale GT40 Mk1 right now, for now it will be a curbside model only though. But it's a real looker, sitting on my desk in that size! On the engine side I have done the 427 FE Cobra engine and I'm planning on making the GT40 Mk2 version complete with the...

    1/8 scale G-W engine with ZF

    Hello everyone, first of all, I want to thank all of you who post such great pics and infos here. Without you, my GT40 engine model wouldn't have been possible (or it would at least have looked a lot more amateurish). Especially JimmyMacs pics were a great help! As you might guess now I'm the...
