I’ve completed painting these figures in the last few days; the Niki Lauda figure is a fine resin casting in 1/18th (and one of my favourites from the Racing Dioramics stable). Continue reading “Recent completions from my painting station – (updated 16th March)”
I’ve had this Phoenix metal figure in my stash for some time, and over Christmas/New Year I eventually got to paint it and I have to say it was a “fun” experience. Continue reading ““Killer Heels”!”
I eventually got Vales Inter Milan shirt sorted – and curiously enough I gave him number 46 – what else?? The paintjob went fine but the decals were a nightmare. Continue reading “Celebrations all round for; Number 46!!”
Highly unlikely – but “what if”? Continue reading “Valentino Rossi lines out for Inter Milan………!!! (7th Nov)”
A sight which brought a smile to a lot of faces in the parking area in Silverstone at the Moto GP (a couple of years back), was the sight of a pink Ducati entitled “The Nurse†–  what else! Continue reading “The Doctor’s secret weapon!”
These young lassies would be completely useless when it comes to putting out fires.  I mean, if they find it too hot to wear basic clothing, how would they cope in fighting a full blown  inferno!! Continue reading “Very Hot stuff – but quite useless!”
Following a break of four years, the Formula 1 circus will once again visit the USA this year with a round of the championship being held in the Lone Star State (Texas) at a newly built circuit in the city of Austin. Continue reading “F1 back in the USA 2012.”
After breaking his leg in June last year at Mugello, Valentino Rossi surprised everyone with his remarkably quick recovery 40 days later at the German round in the Sachsenring – so what was the secret behind his amazing recovery! We all know how fantastically resilient and determined an individual he is – I’m sure his mindset and focus were a key part of the recovery process but I’ve no doubt the medical care (and TLC) he received from the doctors and nurses had a lot to do with it! My own take on it is merely meant to raise a … Continue reading Rossi’s secret weapon!
Unfortunately with my camera acting up today I wasn’t able to upload any photo’s of my days work so instead, I’m posting up some pics of this little 28mm lady from Foundry Miniatures Street Violence range which I painted last week – She’s definitely not the kind of girl you would want to bring home to your mother – yes she’s a real nasty piece of work!

I started work on the Pegaso “Valentina” – figure today – somehow I managed to shake off that cold so as I was feeling much better, I decided to start the assembly process. I have another couple of figues nearly ready for priming, so I thought if I got this assembled I could include it in the same batch for painting.  As with all figures (but particularly metal ones – due to their weight) I pinned all the main joints. I drilled each joint out and used some very stout heavy gauge wire and superglue to anchor them. Not shown … Continue reading Vale 46 “WIP”
