Not to deflect from the riveting pre-season drama, but I did finish a couple builds over the break I thought I'd share.
Both Michele Alboreto.  Second place at the Nurburgring in '84 and a P1 in Montreal in '85. ** Sorry about shitty photography. Someday, I'll learn how to take better pictures.   |

@tifosi - are those models or something else?
Great looking builds in any case  I think we’re all a bit stir crazy waiting for the season to start and unfortunately the drama is something F1 at least. Thanks for sharing your latest master pieces! |

They have the perfect formula and after a near perfect year they want to blow it up? What is RBR thinking? How much "power" does a person need and why does it matter if everyone is winning? I guess I'm shocked by the pettiness of people. If this is from JV then he will drag down Max with him, and rightfully so if Max accepts this kind of behavior. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DCV_117: 2024 ARFCOM Formula 1 Prediction Survey As the preseason ramps up I would like to post this year's prediction survey. 36 questions this year. Prizes for this season: 1st place will receive a 1/43 scale model of the winning car/driver generously donated by @Tifosi 2nd place will receive a $50 Brownell's gift card 3rd place will receive a P-Mag generously donated by @Plumber576 Rules: Only 1 submission allowed! Survey closes on Thursday, February 29th at the beginning of FP1 in Bahrain. It is possible some questions are not answered until after the 2024 season is over, in that case no points will be awarded for those questions. Ambiguous situations or tied questions will be answered in the most logical way possible. Can't promise it will be perfect, F1 is really weird sometimes... LINK TO SURVEY!!! As a reminder, the winner will receive a model of the WDC championship car in 1:43 scale! Model will either be from Spark Model (most likely), OR in the unlikely event Leclerc or Sainz win the WDC, the model will be from Looksmart Models Both are high quality, collector level models, not toys! But you need to answer the survey to win!! |

The whole Max thing of "haha, my dad left me on the side of the highway because he was mad about my driving as a kid and now it's a funny story" honestly reminds me of shit I've talked to a therapist about myself where you tell a funny story and he asks starts asking questions and about 10 minutes in I'm thinking "this story actually isn't fucking funny at all". |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MEK: You son of a bitch. You're costing me money. Here's ddntube's MOC RB19 with Steve Hall's livery decals applied.  I had some questions about some stickers that weren't clear for the USGP livery kit, and once I get those applied I will upload a pic. I think the USGP livery looks awesome on the model. The Block Zone kits are 1/24 scale, so the scaling of the MOC is a bit off and it really needs a better nose attachment, and wing/rear wheel structure. I'm really happy with the Block Zone kit. |
