Driver Figures

[tizeye]

I'm always looking for that added touch of realism to add to my cars..been trying to find a driver figure for my sprint car for months but nothing ever seems to come up..that is until I realised that the 1/10 Tamiya drivers would fit my car.

I've started with a Tamiya Wild Willy driver but I intend swapping the head on it for a more realistic version..like the sand scorcher driver..and maybe have a go at doing a really detailed head like the one in the picture...should look really cool..

Another option would be a Fox driver head. He has the full face helmet, which would be more accurate for your later model sprint car. The open face is cool, but I don't think you'd see any real drivers driving a car like that with an open face.

Also keep your eye out for action figures. I've found a few that are the right size, kinda hard to find "human" ones over caricature types though.

model airplane pilots could be a workable alternative. I noticed a hotty not long ago
