As far as I’m concerned, this is the big one. Most sport fans have a figure who inspired them and caught their imagination, resulting in their love of sport developing and growing. For me, that person was Nigel Mansell – when I saw him win the 1991 British Grand Prix as an 8-year-old boy he …
The older I get, the more I realise that the nostalgic in me is growing stronger. Clearly building models of racing cars that from over 30 years ago is a nostalgic act in itself, but my latest diorama is nostalgic in a different way. Usually the cars and drivers that I choose come from those …
I’m so old, I can actually remember 1993. I can remember excitedly sitting around the television set to watch Nigel Mansell’s first ever Indy Car race – my dad had bought a satellite dish especially, and (as I recall), he’d bought it quite last minute… so instead of it being attached to the wall, it …

Working on “The Flying Scot” dioramas during 2022 was a fantastic experience. In the spirit of openness and honesty, it was far harder than I’d thought it would be! It took more of my time than I’d anticipated, and with a young family that is a very difficult balance to strike. As with any new …

The history of Formula One is littered with controversial comings together, but few are as iconic or notorious as the incident between Damon Hill’s Williams Renault and Michael Schumacher’s Benetton Ford at the 1994 Australian Grand Prix held in Adelaide. This is a diorama that I finished some time ago, but have finally got around …

I am delighted to announce that this final batch of five dioramas are now available to order now from the Bad Wolf Miniatures website. The experience of planning, designing and making these dioramas has been a real labour of love. It hasn’t all been easy… there have been a few times when I thought about …
After many weeks and months of planning, designing and building, I am delighted to confirm that the first batch of “Flying Scot” Dioramas are now ready to pre-order from the Bad Wolf Miniatures website. I’ve confined most of my updates to my social media feeds of late, but those of you that follow me on …

I am really very, very excited about this! After months of work, planning and preparation, I am thrilled to be able to announce that in Q1 2022 I will be releasing a strictly Limited Edition of only 10 hand-built Dioramas, each individually signed by three-times Formula One World Champion Sir Jackie Stewart OBE, in support …

I realised earlier this year that, since I started manufacturing my own range of figures last year, I hadn’t made time for any actual model making for months. I decided that this was something I need each to put right, and it didn’t take me long to decide upon the subject matter. I’ve still got …
I started building this diorama earlier this year, after watching the Roman Polanski documentary “Weekend of a Champion”. It’s easy to forget what a colossus of motorsport Sir Jackie Stewart is, Britain’s first (and until quite recently only), three times World Champion. His relentless drive for safety makes him remarkable in its own right, so …
