One of my all time favorite race cars: the Porsche 908/03 from 1970. I got a toy car model of the Porsche in my youth from a relative from West Germany. Via Internet i could collect a lot of pictures from the car and details like gearbox, engine, supension, frame, cockpit… I did start with the gea…

One year work on the model :crazy_face: :nerd_face: [image] Fittings details added [image] Door hinges plus pipe frame for stability of the doors [image] Electric systems: ignition coils, battery, control box, transitor ignition boxes [image]

Are you going to 3D print a model at some point?

Such impressive work! If you are ever on Facebook, feel free to share with us in the Trimble SketchUp Group. This would definitely raise some eyebrows.

Engine subd test [image] [image] Engine - more details added according reference pictures [image] Exhaust pipes re-positioned [image] Oil pipes for the camshaft drive added - needs some rework to look more realistic [image] Rubber clutch added on the fan [image] Current build status …

The details you are adding are fantastic. This is similar to the type of mechanical modeling that I do with SketchUp, so I love it! :slight_smile:

[image] [image] I have only reference pictures - that makes it not so easy to find the right dimensions. It’s the 4th version of the engine design - after i got a large set of pictures of a restored engine.

Simply stunning! If you don’t mind my asking , how big is the file and how many hours do you think you have in the model so far?
