Hi folks,

sorry if you´ve seen this thread already on HOWL list today, but as I don´t think everybody here´s receiving those eMail news I hope you enjoy this posting at least a little... ;-)

After more than 4 rather quiet months I´m glad to finally be able to present some ResiNews again! :-)

A friend of mine came along with a vintage Rasant BMW some weeks ago and asked me if it was possible to reproduce and adapt this body for T-Jet racing.

Yepp, it was! :-)

The wheelbase is just perfect (LWB), the only minor problem was that I didn´t want to ruin the nice mold master (it´s one of the pricier Rasant cars...). So I had to take silicone molds of the vintage body first (painted metal diecast), mount screwposts into the first resin cast and then pour a final inside ("male") mold half.

The BMW 2000 was not only a quite common family car 35+ years ago, but she was (and still is) also a popular car for touring car racing over here - so my first 3 finished cars look like this:

*Errr* If anybody´s interested in a kit or even a finished body, please contact me off the list. I spent my last bit of mold making silicone on this project and I need another batch of NOS chassis as well. But of course I´m still openminded to any kind of trading, too! Thanks! :-)

Those are very cool. Great work Claus.

Very Cool Claus.

Was also wondering if you had a english order from I might look at? you've done some fantastic work and I would be honored to have some at the track. ( My way of sucking up lol)..

Coach

nice work again Claus

Very nice work indeed. Just when we think we've seen the limits of your talent you prove us wrong and do something even better. Have you ever done the very popular BMW 2002? It's one of my all time favorite cars.

Would have to agree, sweet lookers! :thumbsup: rr

Hi AfxToo,

thanks for those flowers! :p

I myself did no 2002 BMW so far, but there is (was?) a nice Bauer version available. To be honest, that´s the only reason why I didn´t cast the 02 BMW myself so far. But as I have the appropriate diecast (Bauer did use the same) at home, I´m ready to fill the niche if Bauer really doesn´t continue producing their BMW...! :cool:

Best regards,

Hi Coach,

sorry - still no English order form (but no German too...), as I still do this for the fun of it! ;)

But I´m nobody you can´t talk to, so please free to contact me off the list if interested in anything! :wave:

Best regards,
