Bonzi drivers look the best, sorry...

I'm thinking to use Barbie or Ken dolls....a loooot cheaper than Wharehouse drivers (the best)... i live in Italy 3 drivers from USA cost me 60$ plus 30$ for shipping plus 20% of taxes......90 euro more or less ! [sm=confused_smile.gif]

Naah sory Stig looks best and at £1.99 or $3 BARGAIN .
Mart
ps you can also get brats girls that are just head and shoulders and they will look cool also,also£1.99 think i might be using Stig and a brats girl or two lol

martno1fan

Heres a stig,perfect scale if you cut bellow shoulder height they work great.Could be painted if you wish too.Bit more expensive than ive seen them locally but still very cheap.

Thank you so much ! I think i'll buy three Stig. I was looking for it on ebay too.

I like the Stig figures. I watch Top Gear whenever I can on BBC America. Might use them on my next build.
I have used;
Barbie and Max Steel on my 60" Apache = Best
WHH Drivers on my 57" AM Apache = Better
Bonzi Drivers on my 57" CIP Apache = Good, Don't like the wooden heads

WHH figures

Jon DesJardins

No way, the water must be contaminated in Canada
My buddy has them on his apache with the wooden grill pieces and is going to sell, so anybody that want some look in the classifieds soon...



WHH version is by far the best for driver/throttle man set-ups, the Max and barbie are the funniest for sure!

martno1fan

Those whhobies drivers must do a lot of washing up wearing those marigold gloves ,only joking ,like the life vests.

A man of few words

Jon DesJardins

LOL,
And when the words actually "check-in", it's 90% dense

Classic WHH hater for his own personal reasons of course which is fine

WHH DRIVERS FOR SURE! i have about 20 of them and some of them came to me lookin a little scared? and not in any way ready to drive my boats. so i black out the faceshields on all of mine just like the pictures above. ..... simple to do. CHEEZE , i know why you used MAX! barbies friend KEN is a little soft to drive high performance boat ! LOL : )

I have used several kinds of driver figures and I have come up with theory. I think that what you use for driver figures depends on what you really want the finish product to look like. If it is going to look like a scale race boat, then go with drivers that look the part with helmets and life vests. If you are going for a sport boat look, then you can get away with a couple Barbie dolls and a Ken doll!
Race boat- spare no expense! Each figure can cost $30
Sport boat- Walmart has them on sale for under $6 each!
Have fun!
