Well, depends on the region modeled of course. The ones I have are made in Japan/China, Euro/US ones tend to be manufactured in China for cost reasons. There is a Brazilian company out there that does a few too.

At home, I've got an original autograph of Michael Schumacher from '94. But to tell you the truth, that's all...

For this moment I'm sending request via e-mail when driver/team don't want send after e-mail and tell that I must write letter then if I like driver I'm doing it.
I'll have got near friday autographed photo(s) of Hermann Tilke, if I'll have got more than one then I'll have it for exchange or... as target for shooting

I must say these things aren't my cup of tea, but today I recalled I actually have something like that by a bit coincidence, a poster of a cute blue Focus WRC of Czech rally crew Pech & Uhel, at that time champions of local rally championship. They were signing those posters next to their exhibited car during ''Autosalon'' show at exhibition centre in Brno. At first I was bit hesitating, I didn't want to have the nice poster with drifting car in hairpin ruined by some silly tags, but then did wait in the snake-line anyway. Now the poster is still on the wall, the autographs hardly traceable after the time, but still are there.

I have visited some international motorsport events in Germany. So I have collected some autographs over the years.

Unfortuneatly I didn't got autographs from the Formula One race at the Nürburgring 2009.

And another rescue from halfway down the page. My latest purchase has caused a huge stir, as the Japanese region has yet to have been seen in this part of the world in HO size. I have a unique loco for Perth. Soon to be two I hope...

Wow, how nostalgic. Was that really my last post in here? For shame!

Anyway, how about these? I put in an almighty effort at the club today and... the EWS 37411 and OTA log carriers are done and it's been run! Yes, very thrilled to have it all ready for the big weekend show ahead.

And I did a stupid thing. I bought a 1/14th scale RC truck, because I wanted one for about 16 years now.

I'm officially out of control on this sort of thing now.

The truck!



Got nowhere with it. The trains!












Yeah... too many to count now. Help.

, Very nice trains, well done

Has anyone here tried Mini 4WDs before? For some reason I'm intrigued and am starting once again by building one since there's a nearby race track in my home (even though the "nearby" place in question is approx. 3-4km).

My chassis isn't complete, though. I still need to buy a fast motor, adequate gearing and stuff.

One of my activities is to paint 2D liveries - here's an example of 2014 Ferrari F14T livery on 1981 Ferrari 126C2

*coff coff*

Well rather Volvo, but still...
nice

Got it all together and running properly now.

Surely I can't be the only one sustaining this thread? Share, most people are interesting, even folk on this forum!



Yup, it's got a trailer now.

EDIT: For whatever reason, my photo links no longer work, so I'll link you to the archive instead: http://azumangadavo.tumblr.com/archive. But since Tumblr stopped working properly with my Instagram, might be an idea to add a follow to @azumangadavo for new stuff.

Allright I'll post something . My hobby, job and school (and sometimes enemy and source of stress and stuff:D ) is architecture. This is a project that is 2 years old now a public library in České Budějovice (town in Czech Republic)...
