Alain Prost & Williams FW15
I’m continuing to thin-out my diecast collection and in the process I’m trying to create some unique combinations of driver figures and cars. Continue reading “Alain Prost & Williams FW15”
Bench and “bay” update.
Here’s a couple of shots of my current painting crop.  Most of the front row is done and up on the “Bay” at the  moment with others in hot pursuit. Continue reading “Bench and “bay” update.”
“Clash of the Titans” – Senna & Prost – (Suzuka Japan – 1990)
I remember it well – Â the body language of the pair as they walk back to the pits says it all! Continue reading ““Clash of the Titans” – Senna & Prost – (Suzuka Japan – 1990)”
Clash of the Titans at Suzuka
And what a clash – at Suzuka in 1990 for the Japanese Grand Prix (the penultimate round of the season) all eyes were on the two main protagonists sitting on the front row of the grid; Ayrton Senna and Alian Prost. Continue reading “Clash of the Titans at Suzuka”
“Le Petit Professeur”!
This is another of my 1/43rd scale driver figures. Cast in metal by Denizen it has a remarkable likeness to Alain Prost! aka: “Le petit Professeur”. Other than using one “Marlboro” decal for the back of the figure, I finished the rest in Valejo acrylics (using a little bit of artistic licence here and there!) followed by two protective coats of matte varnish. The gloves (which are cast flat) are also a Denizen item. I was undecided about how to place them with the figure so I used two pairs (one flat and the other I bent with a pair … Continue reading “Le Petit Professeur”!
Senna and Prost
I originally painted both these figures (made by Modellers) a couple of months back. I was going to take some more photo’s of them today and the colors looked to me to be a bit “flat” so I did a bit of touch up and re-glazed both red suits with a red orange to lift them slightly.

Alain Prost 1/20 miniature driver figure
I’m still popping back to my line-up of miniature driver figures from time to time and yesterday, I spent a while painting the flesh tones on this Alain Prost figure. It’s based on an old Modellers figure which I have modified slightly (see earlier posts) – I’m reasonably happy with it so far so next time, I’ll paint the stitching and shading on the clothing followed with the helmet and the application of decals etc – more on this one soon. Continue reading Alain Prost 1/20 miniature driver figure

ALAIN PROST 1/20 FIGURE – on the workbench
Using the same Senna body (with slightly cut down legs) and a Prost head, a nice little vignette is taking shape. What a pairing – Team-mates or arch rivals? Continue reading ALAIN PROST 1/20 FIGURE – on the workbench
