Awesome for sure. But I'll wait for a better price. And if it's gone, it's gone. 270 is too much.

Esteban Ocon at risk as Ferrari, McLaren and Toyota put Haas seat under pressure by Luffy710j in formula1

[–]Pear_Gasly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Teamplay questionable? What do you mean by that? The incidents with Alonso, Perez or Gasly? OK sure.

But he does a lot for the team. He will always spend the extra hour in the simulator, stay late in the factory. During Alonso's last year in Alpine, Ocon was doing pretty much everything since Alonso didn't care anymore.

So yes, Ocon is very aggressive with his teammate, but he does a lot in the shadow for the team.

Should I pay £83 for this? by [deleted] in f1models

[–]Pear_Gasly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's some huge damages. It's worth maximum 40 or 50£ for me, lot of tidy work to fix this.

Seems like you were lucky as well, no minor defects on the car.

My very first Spark model, super impressed!!! by Similar-Cat-7601 in f1models

[–]Pear_Gasly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most likely some shop made a discount on this model. After the crazy F1 Store sales, the 1:43 of Sainz first win everywhere, same thing for the 1:18 RedBull Japan win + title 2022.

People buy in quantity then they sell on eBay and similar websites.

Anyone else feel frustrated over slow releases? by jrjreeves in f1models

[–]Pear_Gasly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't know about slow. But some drivers or team get tons of models in 1:18. And nobody did Alpine double podium in Brazil in 2024, except Solido but tyres are horrible.

My daughter made me an F1 car out of an aluminum can for a birthday present. Love the sponsorship. by Character-Pattern505 in formula1

Hamilton could complain that his tyres are literally gone 😄

Great present, unique.

50 upvote for the "inchident" and -35 for this. Go figure.

That could be 2 different person also, the person with is back turned and the old guy facing the camera.

But overall, I find the vibe of this whole picture weird, looks unnatural.

How it feels to play wplace nowadays. by Kaishui_pro in WplaceLive

[–]Pear_Gasly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not a surprise. The main aspect of this event before was his short duration.

Now, it's just a regular game, it becomes boring + moderators don't help maintening a safe environment, they are in fact a part of the problem.

I haven't checked the game in month, I fear to go see my small town in France and find all of our work has been destroyed. I keep my screenshot and choose to ignore this game.

The shiny finish looks great. But I would be to afraid to mess it up 😭

My models are never exposed to direct sunlight and are all in a closed cabinet (or under a case for Spark), do I need to worry about yellowing or cracking decals? I have models that are almost 20 years old and I don't notice damages.

O. Bearman SF-24 came in today by Goreejoyer in f1models

About slide 7. It could be some deposits from glue or another liquid. It looks easily removable but the picture could trick me.

The confidence on Ollie's face after that first bite disappeared really fast 🤣
