Who HOO! More Porsches.. looks good to me, one thing about resin casting is with a little patience no pour is unsavable.. ( unless ya pour too little then you can still paint more resin on if your in a super go fast mode and don't mind throwing brushes away at the rate of one per minute lol...) Great Job.. you have truely entered the dark side, let me know if ya do any extras always looking for a new Porsche to set my rocker on...


Coach!

Bill, your l33t skilz never cease to amaze me. After looking at that body I had to get out my DVD of Lemans just to see it fly by Steve McQueen down the Mulsanne. Still one of my favorite parts of that movie and still one of my favorite Porsches. Lemme know if you have an extra blem or sumpm. That is absolutely beautiful.

it was made using an orig.flamethrower chassis and its 917 body,yellow/blue #2.i found this car at lowery's in radcliff(plug)in one pic i have uh-hu'd the splitter in the nose this,to me,helped to give the real car a sharklike appearance!

BK,
That is completely awesome. Great Job!!! I also plan on doing a 917, but the short-tail variety based of the AFX body.
