Just bought a 1/24 Modelers Enzo Ferrari figure on Ebay. It was like $21 including shipping and the figure arrived yesterday. The quality is extremely nice. I wish they could make a 1/20 scale and other famous F1 drivers.

This is the nose cone modified from Lotus 107B one. A lot of epoxy putty were added to make the nose fatter and longer.



Front wing element needs to be enlarged as well.

After few months of modeling free life, I decided to build a curbside Minardi M193 conversion. Hopefully I can keep the project short. I purchased a couple of AMC M193 decal. Tamiya 1/20 Lotus 107B is used as a donor and I may build a Monaco GP version.

Here is overall so far. A lot of Tamiya quick type epoxy putty were used.



First layer of automotive primer was put on. Tons of artifacts showed up.. that means a lot of filling and sanding will follow..



More update will come soon..

My wife and I went to watch USGP 2006 live at Indianapolis. This is my first live F1 experience and it is great!! Schumacher won the race and it maybe his last USGP victory since he may retire end of the season.

McLaren put a show car at Indy downtown and the car is just spectacular!! Visit this link to enjoy some pic I took there.
