Summer 2015, while showcasing my paper car collection at a local car show I met a board of directors member from LeMay Car Museum who presented to me the opportunity to create a unique car themed artwork for the museum's Concourse d'Elegance benefit auction. I accepted, we decided to use the iconic Lamborghini Countach as the inspiration and this project was the fruit of my efforts. The 30" long Printach model is a tribute to one of the most iconic sports cars in automotive history and a museum which is dedicated to preserving this history using extraordinary showcases. This model was purchased at the auction and donated back to the museum where it is currently on display.
