1/43 scale - Lombard RAC rally diorama - Opel Manta 400 - Russell Brookes: After spending my Saturday @race_retro I felt like wanted to give some time to the Russell Brookes tribute I've been creating. I got the airbrush out and used @vallejocolors weathering paints to add some depth to the dirt and tarmac areas. I've also given the trees a tickle and they are looking 👌 that tree making videos coming! 👍 I've also created some bales that can be seen in the reference shot I'm working from, I cut up some foam board and then with PVA covered them in static grass before spraying with the airbrush 👍 #trees #productivity #rallying #rallymodels #rallycar #miniature #miniaturist #bales #artcommunity #raceretro #supportthemakers #nature #airbrushingartist #fromscratch #artist #handmademovement #byhand #scalemodel #airbrush #makersgonnamake #opelmanta400 #scratchbuilder #art #sculptureart #instaartists #makersjourney #craftsmanship #selftaughtartist #brookes #russellbrookes https://www.instagram.com/p/B89OvN-HfHX/?igshid=rxmzhkhf9gg5

1/43 scale - Lombard RAC rally diorama - Opel Manta 400 - Russell Brookes: I've moved on to making the trees for this dio... I've used my own method incorporating twisted florists wire around a balsa rod to form the branches... I'm going to use clay and probably milliput to bulk out the trunks then carve in some bark textures 👍 I'm filming a 'how I do it' video alongside this so look out for it on my YouTube channel if you're intrigued 😁 #trees #productivity #rallying #rallymodels #rallycar #miniature #miniaturist #wiretrees #artcommunity #mailbox #supportthemakers #nature #wireart #fromscratch #artist #handmademovement #byhand #scalemodel #artforsalebyartist #makersgonnamake #opelmanta400 #scratchbuilder #art #sculptureart #instaartists #makersjourney #craftsmanship #selftaughtartist #racrally #russellbrookes https://www.instagram.com/p/B8gPOtCHpkj/?igshid=yz4hj9y3b74x

1/43 scale - Lombard RAC rally diorama - Opel Manta 400 - Russell Brookes Tribute: The completed diorama which I have enjoyed creating. I'm quite happy with the mud splash that I've tried to capture and I used gloss varnish to bring out the wet conditions. As a personal piece this is something I will cherish in the future. #trees #productivity #rallying #rallymodels #rallycar #miniature #miniaturist #thisweekindioramas #artcommunity #raceretro #supportthemakers #mudsplash #maximumattack #fromscratch #artist #handmademovement #byhand #scalemodel #sideways #makersgonnamake #opelmanta400 #scratchbuilder #art #sculptureart #instaartists #makersjourney #craftsmanship #selftaughtartist #brookes #russellbrookes https://www.instagram.com/p/B9V5Esinp1Z/?igshid=99n0szvuxj19

The Side Project - 1/32 scale M-Sport Ford Fiesta conversion: Since I was a child I have been a huge fan of rallying. On the odd weekend I fondly remember my Dad taking me to one of those small model shops, the type that felt like it went on forever... On the odd occasion my Dad would let me pick a scalextric car from the huge range that they had for sale at the time. More often than not it was rally car (except the once when I had my eye on a ford GT-40) any how I still have the cars from that great era of the 2000's which I treasure greatly. As @scalextric have not produced any WRC cars from this modern era lately I wanted to add one to my collection and so I bought myself a Bburago model of Seb Ogier's 2017 ford fiesta figuring I could perform a conversion to it. I got hold of s chassis kit from Pendle slot racing and scratch built the rest of the chassis. It was unfortunate tough as I couldn't use the original tyres so I did have to purchase an actual pair for a slot car. All in all the cost came to that of a slot car off the shelf today + my time. I add some of my own computer made decals for Rally Wales GB as that is the event I look forward to most 🤟 I'm intrigued, what have you converted or adapted later? #wrc #sebastienogier #rallying #rallymodels #conversion #slotcars #rally #bburago #artcommunity #fiesta #supportthemakers #wales #maximumattack #chassis #artist #handmademovement #byhand #scalemodel #adapted #makersgonnamake #fordfiesta #scratchbuilder #art #rallyworld #instaartists #makersjourney #craftsmanship #selftaughtartist #pendleslotracing #sebogier https://www.instagram.com/p/CADO7zZncO_/?igshid=75qs4jhxy2di
