F1 Model Thread
Hey! What a cool off season thread...seems a bit odd writing this...but I'm sure I'm amongst friends here. When Ant was 6 or 7 years old, I always bought him model F1 cars, that I'd secretly liked myself! He often spent hours setting them up on the dinning room table, using coasters, lids and all manner of objects as sections of tracks. He would study the cars from all angles, contemplating moves, like it was a chess game!
It never occurred to any of us that one day there would be models of him in these cars, let alone actually driving the real things!
Now today in his office he has a display cabinet full of them (1/43rd Minichamps), often given as gifts by fans (especially in Japan) which have been individually converted to the various special liveries that B.A.R. and the Honda team have adorned his practice cars with at the differant GP's. Indeed I have had a few converted over the years for him, F1 test cars, his Carlin F3 car, the Prodrive Ferrari 550 Maranello etc. To do the heads, one has to buy other models of him and do head swaps, which has left me with loads of headless models! Recently I outbid other bidders on ebay for the rare Michael Schumacher collection Minichamp Go-Karts so they could be converted into Ants various junior and senior championship karts.
He doesn't get time to play with them these days, but then the lucky git gets to play with the full scale ones!

I mentioned some very large scale replicas a few weeks ago. I came a across a lengthy selection a few days ago but forgot to save the URL. Here are a few pages with some highly detailed 1/4 to 1/8 scale Ferraris, so you can see they do exist.

So Christmas has just come and gone, has anyone else's die-cast collection gotten bigger during the Holidays? I managed to increase my minichamps from 1 to 5 (99 JV BAR test car, JV BAR 03, G. Bruni 2004 Minardi show car, and a Fisi 2005 Renault)
I also picked myself up a 1/18th Hotwheels limited edition Micheal Schumacher 2003 world champion edition. (I later went on ebay and found them selling for 4x what I paid for this one )The Preceding post may have contained nudity, sexuality, violence, coarse language and Jacques

So you wanna know what the PS Stands for.

Tobacco or no tobacco?
I try as much as possible to purchase models with full tobacco livery. The few in my collection that are not with tobacco livery just seem "naked" .
I know that after-market decal sets are available for purchase but I've never tried to convert a model with these. Has anyone here tried? Is it difficult? Seems to me that you'd need a steady hand, especially with the 1/43 scale models.“If everything's under control, you're going too slow.” Mario Andretti
