First variation done: for the moment, the bodies (aside from color), bases, and wheels are identical, but there are different interiors in these two Bavarias. The Polaris (silver) over blue car has optional rear headrests and air conditioning, which means a differently shaped dashboard. The Malaga (maroon) over tan car has neither. In order to make the Polaris car a replica of my old Bav, I'll be adding a sunroof and changing the bumpers to ’73 spec. #WeirdCarMastodon #164scale #3dModeling

Seats are done. Here again, there's room for some variation. 1971 and older models had different pleats than later cars, and the fancier 3.0S/Si versions had different seats as well. Plus, the rear headrests were optional on Bavarias, standard on the luxury models—the first more or less mainstream car in the US market to be commonly so equipped. The seats I've done so far match those found in 1972-74 Bavarias, with the optional rear headrests. #WeirdCarMastodon #164scale #3dModeling

First bumper (version 1) done. Bumper guards front and rear were standard on US-market E3s, or at least much more common than not, whereas rear bumper guards are fairly uncommon on Euro-spec cars.

I still have to add the rear license plate and fuel filler door, which is behind the plate, before I'm totally done with the exterior, as well as the front bumper. There's also beltline trim that was standard-issue on Bavarias that I haven't put on yet. #WeirdCarMastodon #164scale #3dModeling
