956 Le Mans 1982
The model that won the 24-hour race in 1982 in Rothmans colors. This wall decoration is completely handmade and honors that livery down to the last detail.
After hours of manual sanding, the base was coated in original Grand Prix 2K white paint, the lines were applied by hand using Tamiya lacquer, and the vinyl-cut logos complete the piece.

Piece of process
Every object starts as a raw model with imperfections and rough spots. Only in the workshop does it transform step by step into a sleek finished product.
It begins with a lot of sanding. The model is hand-sanded multiple times with increasingly fine sandpaper until every edge and shape is completely smooth, because any small deviation will be immediately visible later.
Once the base is smooth, a primer is applied first. Then, the color is sprayed on, followed by several coats of clear lacquer for a thick, glossy finish that gives the model depth.
When the lacquer is dry, the vinyl stickers are applied by hand, if applicable.
Hours of work, sanding, spraying, and applying stickers go into it. The result is a unique, handmade piece ready for your wall or desk.
