Porsche 917K #23 - 1970 LeMans Winner
I built this car for my brother-in-law's 50th birthday. It's perfect subject for him. Likes sports cars, check. Birthday is on the 23rd, check. Born in the 70's, check. He'll get it tonight when I see him.

The model is from papersportscars.wz.cz, but, unforunately, the site doesn't seem to exist at the moment. I didn't photo the build process, sorry, but it went together nicely. I did have some trouble with some internal structures, but nothing difficult. I want to build one of the 917K variants for myself in the future...

I found that the model fits in a Beanie Baby protective case, so I built a simple base and plaque. Turned out to make a nice display case!

A very nice birthday present. It's definitely a work of art.
