WIP figures GF-Models

Post by GF-F1 »

Hello,

Here is a WIP to show some work in progress about the figure that I created.

First the the GF-20-048 about the early 80’s driver; I’ll do Nelson Piquet 1983 1/20.

As usual I spayed a first layer of mat white, for the helmet, I’ve done a second layer of gloss white.

Image

I applied some old decal from a BT50 Tamiya to the helmet, and finally it was easier than I thought first.
The decals for the helmet are from bt50 Tamiya box
Image

Image

I started this one long time ago, I finally find to the Wim shop, then…
Image

The ‘Romerouelle’ decal does not have a curve shape, then is a bit difficult to apply.
Image

Image

I created as well some figure for a Monaco crash diorama, after the grey layer, I will spray the marshalls in orange.

Cheers

Two of my favorite drivers, how I wouldn't like your figures?

Thanks for share them, Franck.

Great work, Franck!
I am a fan of your figures, and your painting skills are on the same level!

Did you had a special incident in Monaco in mind, when you created this three figures?

Hello,

Many thanks for your comments.
I miss this one:

Actually I had several incidents in Monaco in my mind; it’s why I’m carry on some other figures for this, Alonso 2010, R Schumacher 2001, Caffi 1991, Panis 1995…

I start to paint the marshals
Image
I add to my catalogue one doctor and a modern driver as well to complete a small figure diorama.

Image

I did some progress to my Francois Cevert figure.
Image
Image

Here are 2 same figures with 2 different helmets, Nakajima 1991 and Prost 1993
Image

Graham Hill at Brands Hatch 1968 if I’m right, I really like this picture, it’s why I wanted to create this figure.
Image

I was happy to see that Wim (Bestbalsakits) have this 84 suit and helmet decals among his products to allow me create this figure.
Image
Image

Since sometime I wasn’t very happy with my James Hunt interpretation, then I decided to do a full new James, first the face, then the suit and the shoes as well.
