Know anyone that builds custom 1/18 model cars?
I have a friend that is looking for a 911 in a particular color and body style. I can’t find any Minichamps, etc professional metal model makers that fit the bill. Does anyone know of someone that could build a model (metal or more likely plastic) that could be to custom specs?

I do not know of anyone that custom makes them, however...
I collect 1:18 scale 911s and I have over 120 of them from various years and I know more about what is available out there than I probably should. Let me know what style and color 911 he is looking for and I can let you know if I have seen anything like that in my searches. Feel free to PM if you don't want to post it here.

These guys do a pretty amazing job http://modelcarworkshop.nl/
No affiliation and haven’t had any personal experience with them, but I follow them on Instagram and their work is fantastic. Planning to use them in the future.

Model 997.2 Targa
Thanks Blu311! Where do you see these models when you run across them? Collectors shows? I watch various things on the net, but haven't seen a 997.2 Targa of any color.
Thanks ATSR, I went out to the site you suggested (http://modelcarworkshop.nl/). Wow! Get ready. Not inexpensive. Over 1,000 Euros! A little much for me to have something for my office bookshelf.
Still looking though. Hopefully, something will fall in my lap that I won't have to hide from my bride due the "investment".

Good luck. I am rooting for you and if you find a custom at a more reasonable price, repost!
The targas are not very prevalent out there. There is the Nordic, black, red and 996 in blue. I have been looking for the 997.1 in a dark color but want a blue (I know I won't find lapis) but haven't really found anything.

Are we talking the 1,000 Euros mentioned above or more like $300?
Any links to their custom work and pricing?
thanks.
