Free your mind. Psychedelic Porsche.
Creating a model of something that had been existing in an earlier period or still do in collections, always connects to the feeling, the spirit of that time. Psychedelic designs (liveries) expressed the spirit of the 70s when people believed in expanding the psyche, unruffle human abilities. The fact that you would see a Porsche race car in a psychedelic livery indicates how free the spirit of that time was.
Not sure if anyone cares. But the liveries are very compelling, especially when the fascination of motorsports came alive in that time. This is why several of the Porsches in psychedelic livers were made throughout the years. Now it was time to make some more.
The MAHAG Porsche 911S came alive as a Custom Slot Car in h0 already in 2022. She uses a modified AFX Porsche 911 RSR body. The front bumper was altered and the rear spoiler removed to resemble the looks of the 911S. The decals had to be made fitting the body. RRR steels rims and Fuchs inserts complete the looks of the AFX Magnatraction chassis.
The cars come alive when photographed on the Track. Foresthill was designed to the scale of the larger h0 slot cars. Structures, track width, tress and all the other details support the live like appearance of the slot cars in the pictures. The cars do not only look good in the pictures, also running laps on the track. I like to connect all the aspects with modelling race cars from the period.
