I've always been fascinated by Le Man's and Porsches racing there.
So, armed with these:

I set out to build something like this:

Well, part of it anyway!
First up, I needed the pit area. So, with some framers foamcore:

a bit of paint:

scratchbuild some doors and benches:

add some signs/rosters:

Hmmm - ok, the lower pit is done, so lets build the upper part: More foamcore and paint, plus signage from the printer and mount it on top:

Now, there are some issues. :o
I doubt if they EVER used stands like that for the cars, but they work for the 962's I built.
The difference in paint schemes for the cars I am comfortable with. Team often used different colours, such as the windshield sun shades, so teams could identify which team car was which at a glance.
Like the Wolf garge I did earlier, this one was a lot of fun.
Hope you enjoy! :D
