Because the nosecone of the Lotus took some effort (3 times allready) I decided to make the diorama for the Lotus with Jim Clark.

Not much progress on the Lotus 49. I finished painting the Jim Clark figure. I used Valejo paint and the excellent decals are from BestBalsaKits (shame he doesn't make more 43rd decals). https://imageshack.com/a/img924/1613/RSWhoL.jpg [imghttps://imageshack.com/a/img923/671/gUflxt.jpg][/img] https:/...

Outstanding work James. These Brabham's look great. Always loved the white/blue colorscheme. I noticed your picture of the computerscreen making your own decals. Now I tried this, but with mixed feelings. I'm no expert in making computer drawings. I have the drawingprogram paint but I still get blur...
