Here's an impressive cut-and-assemble collection that's sure to delight both sports car aficionados and paper engineers. Printed in full color on heavy card stock, eight automotive gems from the 1950s and '60s-including a 1967 Jaguar XKE and a vintage 1956 T-Bird--are ready to be assembled with a few simple tools and glue.
Artist and sports car enthusiast Adrian Sinnott has meticulously rendered authentic, three-dimensional models of such legendary machines as a 1965 sky-blue Mustang, a bright-orange 1967 Camaro, a 1964 forest-green MGB convertible, a sleek 1967 midnight-blue Porsche 911, a 1964 Triumph TR4 and a streamlined 1963 Corvette Stingray. Many of the replicas come with attachable features such as bumper supports, grilles, steering wheels, dashboards, gearshifts, hand brakes and much more.
While projects vary in difficulty, clearly written, easy-to-follow directions and simple diagrams make construction of these highly detailed cars easy for even beginning papercrafters. In addition, a brief informative text provides a descriptive history of each model. Sports car devotees and model builders of all ages will be delighted with this easily affordable collection of automotive classics.
