THE SUPER-DETAILED POINT OF DIFFERENCE
A fine model car is like a song; it can transport you back to a specific time in your life or motorsport history. The scope within the scale-model world is vast, yet when you get to witness a super-detailed example it stands out like a mechanical watch in a digital world.
Tony Lyne has been building models for as long as he can remember, and he has realised his love for classic Formula 1 in spectacular fashion. As a teenager, Tony was drawn to the ‘elbows out’ style of racing required to keep cars of that era on Formula 1 circuits the world over and the technological race to improve them.
The open, mechanical beauty of the late-’60s to early-’90s cars made them perfect examples for model kitset companies to create and offer to adoring fans. Many of these kitsets have been produced in plastic via injection moulding, and, while the quality may be high in the better kits, the level of detail will at some point fall below what a dedicated modeller really wants.
