Drivers in 1/24 -- Immense Miniatures

[Matt Bacon]

I don't know if I'm the only one who likes to have drivers in their model cars from time to time, but if you do need figures for a build or a diorama, then the supply of good 1/24 figures has been pretty limited lately. I've been snapping up generic Fujimi driver sets whenever I see them, but now there is an alternative. Immense Miniatures made an excellent range of resin figures back in the day, but they have been mostly unavailable for a while. However, Colin at RS Slot Racing has taken on the moulds and is now selling them again. You can find them at https://www.rsslotracing.com/Immense.htm

Since I'm focused on the 50s/60s "Kings of the Road" tribute dioramas I've been building, I've mostly bought period figures, but there's a wide range. And there are specific individuals who are very well depicted, as you'll see below.

Fangio (pale) and Nuvolari (brown)

Graham Hill (who else?) early and later career

Generic heads 50s (L) and 60s (R)

Generic seated bodies 60s (L) and early (30s-50s) (R)

Generic 50s-60s part-bodies. The left hand one will suit the Merit kits well, the right hand can sit on some Fujimi legs.

There are more available than are currently showing as available on Colin's web site, so get in touch and ask him if there's something you see listed that you'd like.

best,

M.
