Jacky "ZX" diorama (Rally Paris-Dakar)

I don't suppose I have to introduce to you Belgian racecar-driver Jacky Ickx, who has raced nearly everything in his life, and who won several F1-GP's for Brabham, Ferrari and Lotus, who won Le Mans 6 times in Ford's en Porsches, who became sportscars world champion 2 times for Ferrari, who won Dakar in a Mercedes, and the list goes on forever...

Anyway, a few years ago, I decided that the Citoën ZX in which my compatriot Jacky Ickx had raced a "Dakar" rally, looked better in a diorama than standing in my showcase in showroom-condition.

Interesting detail : the palmtrees come from an icecream that I have been eating somewhere on a sunny terras one day...

This is what I made of it :

And as a little extra, I show you a picture where you can also see a jar of modeling paint, to point out how "big" the diorama is...

As well as a pic of the underside, signed by Jacky Ickx himself, who saw, admired and signed the diorama in 1997...

Excellent work on the car, great diorama made even more special by having the signature :ylsuper

Actually, it's a Provence Moulage (resin) kit.
