Porsche 908

Hello guys,

I would like making a new 3D for Porsche 908 especially 908/03 and 908/03 Turbo from 1970 to 1982.

However, I look for different dimensions to have a very accurate model. A friend said to me that this forum is a very good place to ask help about old cars.
- Length
- Width
- Height
- Tires dimension
- Rims dimension

Thank you by advance,

Nicolas

Yes this is a very good place to ask for cars, but if you are new then to ask on your first post is like me asking you for money... would you give me some money... just because I'm a stranger to you doesn't mean you can't give me some... huh?

Get the idea? Don't ever ask on any site for something when you are new, why would we do something for a stranger who has not even thanked anyone for their mods yet or even introduced themselves to us?

Edit... just to add, have you any idea how long it takes to make a mod? We aren't talking days or weeks but many months and more and you want it for free too!

I may be wrong, but aren't they asking for specifications on a car to help in building their own 3D model? In that case, Ultimatecarpage is pretty good for that info:

@VML: wow, 3d modelers should be always welcome on modding related sites, hi mate!
which simgame would you like to choose for your car add-on? also any links to some of your previous work samples?

You are true.. I forgot to introduice myself and I forgot this pseudo was not the good one.

I'm vivemclaren, a member of Virtua LM Junior Team who did the 956  and a lot of evolution on different car in GTPC So yes I have an idea about the duration for making a car The development of 956 was about 2 years

However the VLM JT does not exist anymore. And I cannot join the old archive man of VLM anymore sadly. So I haven't any good sources for technical data.

I did an Audi R10 for Enduracers (even if I'm not in the credit for it) but it is a long story. I did an Alfa Romeo SE048 for VLM JT (never releasedn you can see it on Facebook).

@BorekS, for the game, it is not important for men however I would like modelling a new car with an actual standard about poylcount
And good model about WW2 aircraft, I didn't know that you did them too


@stupornaut Yes, this website is a good start of course. But for me, it is really important to have the dimension of tire

I have a good books to do a new 917 (full version, but BorekS made a good work about 917) or a new 936 (full version + private test version). However there was not a good 908/03 turbo model

A shame 90% of GTPC templates were never released as it makes painting missing cars a pain.

Can't you just use modern photos from revivals as references? Most of those cars run on Avon tires nowadays which are supposed to be the same sizes as the Dunlop/Goodyear/Firestone used back in the days.

Yes sadly, it is dammage. But we have all our real life

Yes of course, I can use Avon tires size if I have it, however making some accurate historic models is better for me of course

Than you for the BP.

I must apologise VML as I thought you were asking for a car, please accept my apology m8.

No problem

No what I meant is that modern Avon tires are built to the same specs of the old ones, it's just a different logo.

Sometimes it is not really the same spec , but it is similar of course

For example 908/03 of Targa and Ring in 70 raced with 13 or 15 inches diameter rims. (If I read correctly, the rims are 16 inches.)
