Custom BMW i-8

[Madhatter]

hey everyone

I just finished off another collaboration project with my son, the Revell BMW i-8 with a custom body kit and new wheels.

Like with the Porsche, he chose all the colours and he insisted on having a body kit, so we drew some up and did it the old fashioned way by making it out of styrene. No fancy 3D printer here....

I think it came out really cool and it looks quite awesome in that Hell Mango Green. I also like the blackened out front grill - that looks much more menacing than the chromed up version.

Wheels came from an Alpha Model Ferrari 812 and they really look good on the i8.















Overall, it was a fun project. The best fun was getting my son to choose everything and spending that time connecting with him. Our next project is a Ducati 1199. That'll be interesting as I have only ever built 3 bikes in 30+ years

Anyways, thanks for stopping in and having a look

Looks much more interesting than the pretty bland black ones that I sometimes see
The wheels don't make me think of Ferrari, though. They are not totally unlike 5 (or 2x5 ?) spoke wheels I see on Mercedes Benz taxis.

Great job by both of you. The green does look spectacular.
No idea what you added, I really cannot pick any scratchbuilt parts...so a second wow !

Thanks for the kind appreciation guys. The feedback is a great moral booster for my son
