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...

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