Job done!
I eventually got the red sectors painted together with some additional logos on the shirt and dark folds on the trousers Continue reading “Job done!”
“A change is as good as a rest…..”
….as the saying goes! Â After all that tartan in 43rd scale I took a giant leap in scale to 1/18th and did some work instead on this CRAFT10 resin figure of Fangio – what a relief! Continue reading ““A change is as good as a rest…..””
Nearly there…….
With the exception of the red part of the tartan, all the main colours are now blocked in. Continue reading “Nearly there…….”
What colours for the “Flying Scot”?
Nicknamed the “Flying Scot”many years ago for his speed on the track and wearing his trademark tartan-banded helmet as he drove to win three World Championships. Now retired from racing, Jackie Stewart is still very much a part of the F1 world today and his “tartan clad presence” in the pit-lane is often in evidence during TV broadcasts! Continue reading “What colours for the “Flying Scot”?”
“To the victor goes the spoils”…..
… or put another way – “To the winner goes the booty”! Â On the ‘Bay at the moment, World Champion from 1983, Nelson Piquet and his BT 52.

Jack Brabham & Cooper T51
“Black Jack” & T51

These metal 1/43rd scale metal figures are currently for sale on Ebay – Colin Chapman is a Scalelink figure which I have painted up in the JPS colours. Â It’s a reasonable likeness to the man himself and of course he is posed holding his famous “victory” hat! Continue reading “On Ebay this week….”
Nelson Piquet World Champion & BT52
This is a Denizen casting which I’ve modified slightly to represent three time world champion (’81 & ’83 with Brabham and ’87 at Williams) Nelson Piquet. Continue reading “Nelson Piquet World Champion & BT52”
“Black Jack” Brabham
Jack Brabham was the first (and still the only) man in the history of the sport to win the world championship driving his own car – a record which will probably never be surpassed. Continue reading ““Black Jack” Brabham”
Two “Chappies”
Chapman large and small (or should that be Chapmen – doh!) in 1/20 and 1/43 scale- there’s quite a difference when they stand side by side. Continue reading “Two “Chappies””
