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 …

Designed by Rory Byrne & Ross Brawn, this was the car that ultimately carried Schumacher to his first championship in 1994. The car was not without controversy however, with the late Ayrton …

This was the first 1:43 diorama I ever built. I remember it was a long “off and on” project, which I finished in around 2005. I chose the subject matter because I’d always thought that Nigel Mansell in the Williams Renault FW16 looked great, because of the red, white & blue effect that his crash …

A photo gallery of my newly completed Suzuka 1989 Diorama. This has been a real labour of love, and I am delighted with the results. I hope you enjoy these photos.
Having completed both cars, it was now time to turn my attention to the Marshall figures. Again the ever-fantastic Denizen figures were used, but all of them needed to be modified to a certain extent.. all the figures came with their own heads/helmets, but none of them looked like the open-faced helmets as worn by …
Having completed the second McLaren of Ayrton Senna, it’s not time to begin work on the other figures in the diorama. Completing the McLaren was fairly straightforward, with more reference being made to the photographs is found of the scene in question. I noticed that the right-hand wheels of the McLaren had grass on them …
