……..the other way round!?  These two are recasts of modified Denizen figures depicting two of the key characters from the Jordan F1 team; “EJ” himself and”Jordan” (aka; Katie Price) which I’ve painted up in their famous (and in my opinion the nicest) yellow B&H livery. Continue reading “First there was “EJ” and then came “Jordan” or was it………”
Just putting the final touches to these three figures. Although the presence of Nuvolari looks out of context among this lot, he has an actual (albeit slightly tenuous) link to one of the two others! Continue reading “WIP update – (7th Oct ’14’)”
I thought I was pretty much up to date on all the F1 character figures currently available until I came across Immense Miniatures; a great name and stunning figures. Continue reading “An Immense discovery!”

As a result of developing cateracts in both eyes over the last few months, I’m having to switch my painting hours to larger scale figures and away from the smaller 1/43rd scale which I tend to favour. Continue reading “Size matters…..!”
Few would disagree with that strapline, particularly when Enzo Ferrari himself likened Villeneuve to the great Tazio Nuvolari. “When they presented me with this ‘piccolo Canadese’ (little Canadian), this minuscule bundle of nerves, I immediately recognised in him the physique of Nuvolari and said to myself, let’s give him a try.” Continue reading “Three of (one of the best F1 drivers)……Gilles!”
