Just saw some fantastic news on the MiniWerks forum - it seems that Serge Divies of Feeling43 fame has confirmed he is back in action! He will be now operating under his own name:
"Serge Divies Modelcars".

Apparently, the first cars on his program will be the Jaguar D Type (still under the original Basic43 name), along with the Le Mans winning Ferrari 275P and Matra 670B (both still branded as Feeling43). There is also a '72/3 Ferrari 365 Daytona Group 4 superkit available right now.

To follow this up in more detail, either e-mail Serge directly, or talk to Mike at MiniWerks.

Ok, so this is not exactly a 1:43 scale model, but is definitely very cool!

Well, it seems like the next project with Bill Model Company will get under way in January - this time a 1:43 scale 1920's Rolls Royce armored car, from a rare Mayes Models kit...

So, after promising myself one for years, there is finally a Lattin & Gillette "Redhead" streamliner on the way from Ugo Fadini.

However, this particular model has a few things in store for it, involving a fair bit of tripping around the United States before it finally reaches me, ensuring it will be considerably more special than it already is...

... and a huge thanks to Ugo for helping me with this!

More good news this evening - recieved an e-mail from Bill Model Company to say that my Eduard Nieuport Ni17 is now completed, including a very classy display!

I bought the most fantastic book the other day, "Cosmic Motors" by Daniel Simon.

Over 300 of the most amazing sketchs and digital artwork I have ever seen! All stuff straight out of my teenage car designer dreams. Best of all, there are rumours of scale models in the wind...

Very highly recommended!
