I wonder if any of you experts can help me.

I'm looking for a full size model kit sheet (with sprues etc) as a piece of art/sculpture mounted on a wall. Very similar to this http://www.jellio.com/store/drivein.html but with more general body parts such as doors, hoods etc.

Years ago (90s) an artist did something similar with a McLaren MP4 F1 bodywork and it looked stunning.

Trying to find reference as a proposal for office furniture.

Any help, greatly appreciated

Afraid I can't help but I do remember the MacLaren. Think it ended up on the wall of an ad agency somewhere. Never managed to find a picture of it on the web.

yeah IIRC it was produced by a student at the RCA. Looked pretty cool

the Top Gear studio's have something very similar, you could try emailing them and finding out where they got it from.

Andy, are you looking to have something made up for you or are you looking for reference for one of your own projects?

I may be up for making something bespoke if you're interested! Never done one before but it's kind of along the lines of the business I want to start.

first problem. I'm in Canada. I suspect your not smile At the moment, I could have used an image as reference to show the management at work. They want ideas to brighten up our studio. I think I'll have to Photoshop something up. I think its a cool idea though
