Classic’s 2013 VF V8 Supercars

Yes, they have their faults, but overall I reckon they look ok for general display purposes. It's only when you get up close the flaws pop out. The models do feel a bit toyish in hand (very light and the wheels rattle). I wonder if the wheels were locked up and ballast fitted inside, would collectors be saying "aww, this is a nice, solid, decent quality model"?

Classic Carlectables have won the race to get the first 2013 VF Commodore to market in 1/43 scale with the release of two cars each …

Triple Eight ran a VF Commodore wildcard entry at Bathurst in 2013. I don't believe any of the commercial manufacturers produced a model of this car - so I made my own. I finished this on the same day a dear friend lost her dad. It's not a sprint car AF, but it did have a sweet V8. RIP big fella.More photos and a full build diary on the blog: www.wixy500.com/the-xbox-bathurst-wildcard-a-code-3-conversion/ ... See MoreSee Less

The French Ligier team, with French engine (Matra), French sponsors (Gitanes cigarettes, Norev model cars) and French driver ('Jolly' Jacques Laffite) scored its first ever F1 win at the 1977 Swedish Grand Prix. This is Spark's 1:43 scale version of that car, now with the tobacco markings in place. They even included really tiny 🧐 decals for the Gypsy Woman logos on the driver overalls. ... See MoreSee Less

Some think it's bad taste to build models like this. I choose to believe it's a form of respectful tribute in honour of the subject. RIP Brock. (btw, nice build DC customs) ... See MoreSee Less
