Damn a puncture!!!
He just doesn't know how drive slowly, does he.
- Subject:
Ferrari 312T4
FIA Formula 1
Ferrari 12 (Gilles Villeneuve)
August 1979 Dutch Grand Prix - Zandvoort
(Result: Retired)
Red- Scale:
- 1:20
- Status:
- In progress
- Started:
- December 1, 2013
My idea is to do a diorama, of Gilles driving back to the pits, after obtaining a puncture when he spun off the track during the 1979 Dutch GP...
Or having got back to the pits and sitting in the pits feeling dejected, out of the car...
I'll probably go for the first scenario!!!

Alexander Aristides CronvallE. jan i believe had a nice figure of Villeneuve sitting on a tyre. but it was a bit pricey so i didn't buy it "which i now regret" but i'm looking forward to seeing this little tribute, and maybe a nice little 126 ? so he has something to lean against while talking to the ladies in the paddock😉

Steve WilsonYep! they do, I have one... One idea I'm toying with, is using that one in my diorama. Trouble is I have so many Gilles figures I've collected over the years it's making my choice difficult🤔

Steve WilsonI'm also working on the Chris Amon '67 312 Italian GP, I would like to see it finished, but I have that tic to start something new. Twitch! twitch!! 😠

Alexander Aristides CronvallAh, the new box syndrome ! i often have that problem when it´s time fore primer. but once the parts are in primer and the boring part is over the new box syndrome seems to fade away. but it's better to put it aside for a little while instead of forcing yourself to build. i've tried that forcing method, it often just turnes out to be another model in a shelf. all the fun parts like the history around the car and all the research just disappears in the blue.

Steve WilsonI have in the past, had as many as 5 kits on the go at the same time. But be sure to keep them separate and away from each other, it is mind blowing as well.

Alexander Aristides CronvallI currently have everything packed down in boxes due to a splendid idea that i should renovate my apartment and make room for a mancave, which i really don't have time to complete. but with all the talking about Villeneuve, 126´s and 312´s the twitch "i must build" syndrome is biting my neck. need to solve this problem at once ! i think i need to have my weekly dose of glue and paint fumes in the morning to function as a human being :/

Steve WilsonHa! ha! ha! build away Alex (sniff! sniff! aaah gluey paint😛), the mancave can wait...

Steve WilsonHi Guy...
I've posted some pictures, I admit not far, but I'm desperately trying to finish my Fujimi 248 Michaels Last Ferrari Drive and of course the Chris Amon 312...
I'm approaching this one in between the other two, don't want to rush it but the figures are coming along nicely, I'm doing the track it'll sit on at the moment... I'll get some more pics up soon, honoured you're watching👍🙂
