Hi:
I hope don't disturb to anybody but I've begun my new projected figure in 1:43 scale "Gilles Villeneuve":

I've sculpted another 2 figures as Tazio Nuvolari and Jackie Stewart.
Here, you can see them:

Of course, any critic be welcomed.

That looks like a lot of work. I don't know what Gilles looks like but that sure looks like someone. Nice job.

WOW, that's an excellent job! I can't imagine how difficult it has to be, to create something like this in 1/43. Well done. :thumbsup:

Thanks a lot Superbird77, for your words.
Anyway I'll do some corrections to get a better result.
Kimdest regards and thanks again:

I've re-sculptd the figure with another putty (Procreate) and maybe now looks a bit more similar to Gilles:

I don't want a new thread, I don't want to disturb too much.
I like to know something, if somebody wants to reply,
Which resin kit race car, in 1:43 scale, would you like to get?
Many thanks.

I don't collect F-1 or LeMans race cars, only rally cars from Monte Carlo, Safari, or Paris-Dakar events. I'm always looking for kits of these cars that haven't already been done by another company.

If I don't disturb, can you tell me which?
Regards.

Most of the recent stuff has been done. Usually the earlier rallies are harder to find (before 1965 for MC and Safari). There are some gaps in the 80's too. Although, I am surprised at how many new releases of older cars are now coming out, from IXO, UH, and other manufacturers of built models. I prefer buying built since I have almost no free time to build kits.

Thanks for your reply.
I understand your problem with kits and the time to spend to build them.

Hi:
I'm here again.
I've finished the complete figure of Gilles Villeneuve:

And now I've gotten the 3 first legendary drivers in resin unpainted kits:

That looks great! Good luck with them.

Wow, this, and your Nuvolari and Stewart, look fantastic! The painted Nuvolari on your webpage is very very cool.

Thanks a lot PWSchuh and G_G for your kindest words.
I'm trying that collectors can get another accesory to decorate their fine scale models and diorams.
Kindest regards and thanks again.
