Reims Grand Prix
Race
The circuit Reims-Gueux was a Grand Prix motor racing road course, located in Gueux, 7.5 km (5 miles) west of Reims in the Champagne region of north-eastern France, established in 1926 as the second venue of the Grand Prix de la Marne. The triangular layout of public roads formed three sectors between the villages of Thillois and Gueux over the La Garenne / Gueux intersection of Route nationale 31. The circuit became known to be among the fastest of the era for its two long straights (approximately 2.2 km; 1¼ miles in length each) allowing maximum straight-line speed, resulting in many famous slipstream battles.

Dioramas & Playsets
<p><em>This model is genuinely <strong><em>one-of-a-kind</em></strong>, only this one was built by Racing Dioramics. The model also comes with an acrylic cover. </em></p>
<p><em>Racing Dioramics:</em> Crittenden Rumford and Nestor Spinelli.</p>
<p> <em>Racing Dioramics</em> specializes in classic Grand Prix and road racing scenes (mini dioramas or vignettes) in 1:43 scale. They also specialize in producing limited run figures in 1:43 and larger scales. Occasionally they built a road car scene. Others have tried to imitate their work, but none come close. Today they build commission work and limited editions of only 10-15 pieces, mainly of the modern F-1 era. There is a long waiting list, and they are not accepting new commissions.</p>
<p> Each racing scene depicts a real point in time from auto racing history. All were hand built in the USA, in the early to mid 1990s, and all are virtually impossible to find anywhere today, especially since most, like the models being offered here are <em><strong>all one-offs!</strong></em> The figures have been individually, painstakingly carved and painted, with oh-so accurate faces, period clothing, helmets, and gloves.....even their goggles have separate clear lens's! The positions of hands arms and bodies perfectly replicates the drivers in action. Each car was hand built from long out of production rare limited run European kits, with many custom added details. Each detailed display has also been created by hand, and perfectly sets off the stunning miniature cars and drivers.</p>
<p> These vignettes are truly miniature works of art - Crittenden's amazing ability to give life to her figures is more than impressive. Combining that with her partner Nestor's great talent to create the rest of the scene and build the cars is a winning combination.</p>
