COMING SOON – Mansell Trilogy – Part II
This one has taken a lot of hard work and planning.
Having really enjoyed the first part of the Mansell Trilogy, this time I have pushed myself to try and capture something a little different… a 1980’s turbo-powered F1 car in the rain at Monaco. Nigel Mansell in the Lotus 95t is another iconic moment from the career of one of the world greatest ever Formula One drivers.
I am therefore delighted to announce that the second part of the Mansell Trilogy will be available to buy directly from Bad Wolf Miniatures very soon.
Built on a solid oak base, this hand-built diorama depicts Nigel Mansell, driving the iconic Lotus Renault 95t sweeping around the Monaco circuit in Monte Carlo as he battled his way into the lead of the 1984 Monaco Grand Prix. Each diorama was hand-signed by Nigel Mansell CBE, at the Williams F1 Conference Centre, Grove, England on 22nd May 2024.
Having battled through the lower ranks of motor racing, Mansell’s potential was spotted by Colin Chapman, co-founder and designer of the legendary Team Lotus. Chapman appreciated Mansell’s skill and fighting spirit, and Mansell spent four years as a Team Lotus driver between 1981 & 1984. Whilst a first win eluded him, his time at the team was littered with impressive fighting drives which brought him numerous podium finishes. This diorama captures Mansell wringing the neck of the Lotus through the rain in Monte Carlo in more accuracy and detail than has ever been achieved before.
10% of the proceeds from the sale of each diorama will be donated to UK Youth, a charity of which Nigel Mansell is President. UK Youth is a leading charity with a vision that all young people are equipped to thrive and empowered to contribute at every stage of their lives. With an open network of more than 8,000 youth organisations and nation partners; UK Youth reaches more than four million young people across the UK and is focused on unlocking youth work as the catalyst of change that is needed now more than ever.

The diorama comes packed in a custom-made protective box, and is packaged in high-quality foam in order to ensure that the model is not damaged whilst in transit. Also included is a unique Bad Wolf Miniatures certificate of authenticity, hand-signed to confirm that each model is one of a strictly limited edition of only 6x unique pieces.
