If you love the new Stingray Corvettes but are so broke that you buy two ply toilet paper and separate the plys to make it last longer, this car kit might be the best option for you. Instead of spending sixty-grand on that shiny red Stingray, you can buy a version that gets better gas mileage, costs nothing to insure and won’t take you to the poor house paying for gas. The cost for this unbelievable car kit? How about $5.39 for a .pdf electronic version that you can print as many times as you want?
VisualSpicer.com is the online store of Taras Lesko, a Graphic Design Artist. Lesko says that he, “Began working in the design field professionally in 2003 during my Junior year at a design university where I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts and Visual Communications. Since then, I have worked in several design studios and operated my creative business.”
In addition to the papercraft Stingray Corvette car kit, Lesko also has an “Indestructables Papercraft Kit” that features a BMW Isetta inspired car, A DeLorean (with the Back to the Future add-ons), A Ferrari F1 car, Lamborghini Aventador, a Pagani Zonda or a Bugatti Veyron. The prices vary from model to model as we found out when we wanted to know what the price tag on the million dollar Veyron was. The papercraft version goes for $2.99.
The overview of the Stingray Corvette states that the car is a dream car of Lesko’s wife. He created the papercraft replica for their wall at home. When he talks about a piece of art for the wall at home, he is not kidding either. The model is a full 24-inches long, and is assembled from 106 separate parts from 23 printed pages of paper.
