Hi folks,

it´s been a while since I was able to post any news from my attic, but work kept keeping me away from my workbench too often...

A couple of weeks ago I checked the toy department of our local supermarket (I do this on a regular basis...) and found a new HW Porsche Cayman diecast. Only 2 nights later the first resin shells were ready for take-off!

The wheelbase as well as the body contours (narrower front, wider rear) make this body a perfect fit for the JL/AW T-Jet 500 chassis. The Cayman now is my favorite weapon for these chassis! :cool:

BTW: This body (like many LWB T-Jet bodies) is a perfect suit for SWB fridge magnet racers too: :p

Biggest challenge is painting the lights - I´m always glad I´m casting in colored resin, so I can simply wipe away any misplaced paintstrokes with a thinner-soaked Q-tip and start over again... :rolleyes:

Wow Claus! Those are sweet. Super smooth and great detail.

I'd like to see one with Vincent Fuchs.

IMHO the Cayman is the most exciting thing to come out of Stuttgart for quite some time.

How about some 930 Turbo flares for the fridge magnet versions? ;)

Claus...

What are we supposed to do with our HO scale bottles of Becks Beer??? ... On second thought... don't answer that!!!

Seriously though, that's a great casting. Nicely done Claus. Good to see you slipped back into the slot for a while. Thanks for posting this.
