BMW M2 Custom Widebody (G87) -1/24 Scale model!

Next up in my Full Model car line-up is the addition of this absolutely phenomenal, 1/24 Scale BMW M2 G87 Generation Sedan with a Custom Widebody kit done in Full Color! After further consideration from my “standard” car models, I decided to upscale these prints to an actual recognized Model Scale size. The previous small car models ended up being right at 27% too small for a true 1/24 scale. 

This 1/24 scale model also hosts a first for me, a Full Color print profile along with the standard, easy/quick single color! Ideal for folks with an H2D or H2C printers (HIGHLY not recommended to print in full color with a single nozzle/ams combo unless you like waste! even the H2D prime tower was almost the weight of the car!)

The model comes with a detached spoiler as well as Exhaust! Should not require any glue to set the wing. Please be mindful while placing the wing into the cutout as the parts are small and fragile. The CCW wheels also host a Brembo Big Brake Kit on all 4 corners for some added realism to this already-awesome model! 

This is a small spin-off project from my recently added Supra Collection ( https://makerworld.com/en/models/1646284-toyota-supra-turbo-model-car-set-with-mods#profileId-1740049 ). I still have quite a number of cars from my Layered Car models that I've done in the past that I think would look fantastic in a full print!  ( https://makerworld.com/en/collections/6642322-layered-car-art-collection ) 

Drop me a comment and let me know which car model you would like to see made not just layered, but in a full car print! 

Size

This is a 1/24 Scale Model. My previous uploads were slightly smaller so this model was adjust by 127% size to bring it to a true 1/24 scale! Below is a reference image to my previously “standard” size models. (PS: all the models are sized similarly, so if you want to print any of the previous models in 1/24 scale just scale all of the parts equally to 127%)

Assembly

The assembly process is very straightforward with only a couple of things to look out for. The print profile includes a few things: The body of the car (made in one-piece print for a no-seam/glue model), 4 tires (if you care to pay attention to the detail there are 2 left and 2 right tires), and one set of wheels (more to come as I expand the collection)

Start by carefully removing the supports. Most should come off just fine, but at times I found myself using a pick to get to the ones inside of wheel wells. I then recommend using a razor blade (carefully) to remove any support material build-up in the wheel wells and back of model, particularly at the bottom of the rear bumper, top of the license plate cutout, and under the spoiler. 

The most important part is to slightly cut down the wheel spindles area that droops down at the support. This will ensure that you don’t have too hard of a time pushing on the wheels (and risk breaking the wheel and/or spindle). I recommend shaving it down a little, and testing the wheel, and shaving again if needed in a couple of passes. The wheels should be firm to press on, but not feel like you will break the spindle. Due to various filament properties I have settled on wheel cutout size that should work in any filament, but may take a little more shaving for a good, snug fit. 

Once you have shaved the spindle down, press the tires onto the wheels, and install the wheels to the spindles. Make sure to properly align  all wheels in the same orientation. 

Thank you for visiting my page and taking the time to print my models. Your support is truly appreciated. I never expected to have so many people following me and fueling my passion for creating the models that I create!
