another

the basics:

I have a couple in cloth, they are the pattern for the pillow cars. I have one 914.
CCLINPILLOWTALK

There is a small one in the current Automobile magazine with the Jag on the front

i want a 914 pillow!!!!!!!

Heres the paper version. My dad has a really old Mid America Motorsports catalog (circa 1976, it was PB Tweeks then) and it had 914 pillows in it. Of course it also has charlon kits and all sorrts of other goodes.

Here's the paper car:

You mean like this? Mine's about 10 years old. The best part is the tires come out (one pillow per front and back) and make for great neck support.

yes!!!!! i'm jealous....anybody have a extra for sale?

found more detailed / high grade paper models:

lambo

old Tyrrell F1 - only for advanced constructors

2nd

Last 914 pillow I saw sell on Ebay went for almost $200....I dropped out at $100

hmmmm ... call me stupid, but wouldn't it be easily possible to print the nice picture from jd74914 onto textile and make your own 914 pillow

sounds like about $20 and a couple of hours work

EDIT: to someone who's familiar to needlework

You have to have extra material to make the seams. The seams would then have to be reverse sewn to make the panels line up and look clean. (mom used to teach sewing)

Then there is the problem of the underside and wheels. You couldn't leave them open or the stuffing would fall out.....

LINK LINK!!

I want to make some of these... Especially in pillow form...!!!

Add a little "customization" to it and Bam!!

i'm sure it could be done. i'd try it but i have no sewing skills whatsoever. and with the resolution of that pic I bet it can be blown up much bigger.

o.k. - I've found some links for you

Dakar Racing in 1/43

Volkswagen Racing Team in 1/43

you can download a couple of PDFs, start browsing at the mainpage http://www.racepaper.de/

there's another homepage to this topic with lots of PDFs at http://www.streetpaper.de/

one more, even in english: paper models

unfortunately I can't find Porsche models

I just made the model from jd74914
unfortunately my handicrafts abilities are not so good ...

it's about 1/20

back angle

okay - here's on mine. i mounted it on little jackstands so we could all relate better...

what's special about mine is that the 914/6 conversion was performed by Margie Smith-Haas personally - with 5-lug suspension upgrade from an early Turbo pillow...

it is yellow like the big car.
