    The UK is the only place I know we can call each other names
    as a compliment. Now then all you toss pots, keep looking, will
    load more pics soon. Getting about two days a week in the
    garage at mo, so loads more work done. Angles down to
    .1 of a degree, and measurements down to the nearest mm.
    The hood frame and holder is off Peugeot 306, and the boot floor.
    spare wheel well is off a BMW 730.
    Loads of after market items for M3 added, but the finish is all
    Aston Martin. It will look all Aston Martin DB5.
    I can only think a Brit would even contemplate such a project
    without any hesitation. The further on I get, the more confident
    I am to the finished product to replicate the real thing.

    Hello.
    Found a guy in mad mechanics forum who cnc'd out a lambo body.
    So i simply nicked the idea, build myself a cnc (the easy part).
    Then learning the software(the hard part). I'm on it.

    Simulated cut in the sofware. Miniature edition :)
    Next: cutting it out witout setting the garage on fire
    Or ending up with a endmill in my face.

    Rough cut of the front, starts to look like something.
    No fire no Face damage, but styrofoam is a bit sticky :))
    The garage looks like snowcage.

    A replica is looking more and more attractive ... financially speaking:

    Not sure if you scrolled down to the English translation but yes, this is an auction coming-up mid November in France. The estimated value is €700,000-900,000.

    It's a little confusing because the description opens with a comparison of the DB4 to the DB5, but this is a DB5.

    that looks fab and unlike a normal DB5 it will be a modern car - great job

    Great... Please tell how you did it, materials used and so..
    I'm currently down in my build . My cnc broke down and it's too cold in
    The garage to work so I'm wating for new cnc parts and the spring :D

    Well i have so far a poorly shaped half front end so it's
    Really nothing to see. And i made a test on the dash from
    The game file to see if the Scale was ok, and it look god.

    Db5007. How much do you estimate that your bodyshell
    Will cost? Maby i could buy one from you?

    @ DB5007:

    Which chassis will you be using for that body and is that a unique car or are you doing a small run?

    That looks like foam?? My car is going into final primer tonight, then wet sand prep for paint. I will post a picture later today
  • ZundappZundapp Posts: 139MI6 Agent
    Hmmmm. That's it i have to build a larger cnc machine :))
    ... Or not. I hope the guy/ girl :s shows up here on the forum.
  • DB5007DB5007 Posts: 70MI6 Agent
    Using 2lb foam is a huge headache. Who ever did that is in for a big surprise!
