Porsche 917K - Steve McQueen's "Le Mans"

[WasteGas]

Once again, top notch quality build! It was fun following the WIP of this beauty.

Imagine needing to use that spare tire during a race

The first picture is killing me right now! Not only I like the car, but you have done an awesome work to make it even look fantastic.

The color is perfect too. And your photography skill is also very good!

I enjoyed admiring your Porsche, thank you.

Great work Phil, don't know what more to say
I love your photos, as always.

Thanks for the awesome response guys, brings a smile to my face.

Willimo, I really don't deserve that much praise, for starters there is a reason all the closed up pics are only taken from the left hand side! The fit of the engine cover and door is not perfect, but good enough to give the right impression with some crafty photography. I'd love to go on adding details ad infinitum. However at some point the time, resources or talent run out and ambitions have to be reigned in. Shortly after I finish my models all I can see are the faults and things that should be done better. But after a period of time I move through that and can enjoy them for what they are, rather than what could have been.

Enough naval gazing. I've updated my website with a bunch of larger resolution images of the 917 model. So if you feel so inclined, enable you browser pop-up blockers and check the pics out before the freebie host crashes.

Cheers and thanks again guys.

Just checked the images on your site, and checked them again and again...

Can't get enough of them. Perfection is very close. Congratulations Phil!

Steve.

Brilliant job Phil, I'm another with this one in the collection and it's tempting me to get mine done. Cool too that it's done just in time for Le Mans.
