35mm gaming figure.

The actual name of this kit is Belldandy Speed Queen. It is a garage kit of a character called Belldandy from the Japanese anime “Ah! My Goddess”. When I first came across the kit, I thought of race car driver Danica Patrick, who was racing in the CART Toyota Atlantics series at the time. I had a friend of mine, Earl Ma, make me a set of Alps-printed decals to match the logos on her uniform and helmet. Hence, the name Belldanica.

The Reaper figure “Ellen Stone, Cowgirl” is based on the Sharon Stone character from the movie “The Quick and the Dead”. The fence is scratch built out of balsa wood. The tree is lichen and model railroading supplies were used for the ground cover and tumble weeds.

Jo Siffert raced Porsche sports cars and for several different F1 teams in the 1960s & early 1970s. This figure is painted to represent his time driving for the John Wyer Gulf Porsche team in 1970 & 1971.
