Paper Model of

The 'Mercedes-Benz SSK' is a roadster built by German automobile manufacturer Mercedes-Benz between 1928 and 1932. Its name is an acronym of Super Sport Kurz, with the last word being the German for "short", a reference to the fact that the car was based on the earlier Mercedes-Benz S, but with nineteen inches chopped from the chassis to make the car lighter and more agile for racing. It was the last and greatest car designed for the company by the brilliant engineer Ferdinand Porsche, before he left to pursue the foundation of his own company. The SSK's extreme performance—with a top speed of up to 120 miles per hour (190 km/h), it was the fastest car of its day and numerous competitive successes made it one of the most highly regarded sports cars of its era. It took me 7 days to complete. Give me ur precious comments and do write your email id. Call me or email me if you want to buy / order any of my completely built models (Please be noted that the plans are not sold here).

Hey remember the song by JANIS JOPLIN? O Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz? cool work, Ateemjeet, I used to dream about a car like this and sing this song, hehehe! would be neat to have one. But that is irrelevant I suppose when it comes to the real meaning of life. I love this style and model you have done here. what's up man? How are you?

Artist Reply: thanks once again.... yep mercedes is my dream too and i will achieve it one day hopefully... mmm, i dont have an ear to classical songs... i have heard the name of jenis but never really heard it.. aaaaaa yes, life is not what u want, life is mmmmmm mercedes benz, i always need it, but only a few lucky ppl get it.... (poor philosophy hehehe)
