Triple Ground Effects Builds

[mazyen]

Hi,

Here are the pics of the last of my 4 Lockdown builds (March to May), the Williams FW07. This kit was completed when it was released & refurbished with a new paint job & decals. Added "Frank" beside it & have yet to re decal Clay's helmet.

The Lotus 78 & Ligier JS11 were started in June & were just clear coated a couple of days ago before the air brush & compressor were boxed.
After taking these pics, the FW07 & my stash are all boxed up for the 8,200 km journey out of Africa as I've been laid off after my 17 years of African Adventures with 3 companies in Tanzania & Rwanda. The other 2 will remain for me to work on until my flight back & during quarantine period.

The bright side is that I'll get more time to complete my stash.
2020 is certainly a weird year.

Cheers
Lee

Is that Ligier the Tamiya kit?

Hi Lee,

They are all very nicely built F1 models of an era that has so much creative ideas.

Nice trio, Lee.

Yes 2020, has turned out to be especially weird. Good luck on finding your next adventure.

Chers,
Mike

I like the Williams, I love these little dioramas.

I also think the replica of the street is great - is that self-made?
If so, how do you do it exactly?

Very nice ! well done

Very good looking. The Ligier and the Lotii may well be the first Cars in the making photographed in completed Section .

This one was painted on a block of sample wood. The tarmac is fine sand & the concrete painted directly on the wood.
The other one in the pic is the base of the display case. This is the improved version painted on a piece of plastic sheet with concrete textured by dragging coarse sandpaper along it & tarmac in fine sand again. The expansion joints are scribbled lines filled with superglue.
Hope the above helps.

Thanks guys for the kind comments.

Yes , the Ligier is Tamiya's & I've forgotten this is the Completed Section as mentioned by Vekkuli.

BTW, Mike, my next adventure will be adapting to living back home in a heavily populated country in this COVID 19 pandemic.

Cheers
Lee
