Dr Pickypants / That Model Car

I'd like to introduce Mike Woof @Dr Pickypants from 'That Model Car' as the founding member of the forum supporting vendors section.

'Dr Pickypants incorporating That Madel Car is a model design studio and advanced manufacturing business.

In January 2021 I suffered a TBI (Traumatic brain injury) as a result of workplace accident. It has been a difficult time for me and those close to me however my health is slowly improving. I thank God "most days" that I am still here, remembering the event could have been much worse.

To aid in my recovery I started working out of my garage making coasters on a laser cutter. I then started working with some great friends Bruce and Jay to develop this 3d model laser cut model business. Designing and making these models has reminded me that I have value, that I can start to make a positive contribution to the lives of others.

Working on these complex puzzles has given me a great sense of personal achievement. Getting great comments from family and friends about the finished display models has done wonders for my self esteem.

The models we design and manufacture are heirloom quality and made to enhance our customers lives.

Whether it is a gift, a challenging project or something stunning to put on display, everyone can benefit from a product made right here in Australia.

We use only FSA approved and manufactured materials sourced from truly sustainable timber plantations'

Mike has kindly offered forum members a 20% coupon discount to be entered on the checkout page of his site the code is INEOSFORUM


There have been rumors on the site that Sir Jim has a couple of the models, and I can confirm that this is true. Also this is the first company that I'm aware of that has received the nod of approval by Ineos as a licensed merchandise manufacturer.

Yes. I had a reply last week to detail paint information had delayed manufacture. I was advised information had since been updated and shipment by end of week.
See how that goes.

Ok, I hope he is alright. I am a little worried because he reacted so fast when I ordered and now there is not an answer at all.

I hope everything is OK - I placed an order and he billed my card last week, so with the "bespoke" care that it looks like goes into these models I'll give it a few weeks before I start to worry - that plus the Australia to US shipping time - I'm not worried yet, but do hope everything is OK.

It's a Grenadier, finally.

Just a follow up here, I have received no product or communication since being advised order would sent by weeks end, 3 weeks ago.
Has any one else had any communications in last 3 weeks or better yet received order? Evidently patience is a virtue for anything IG related.

I have the same feeling about it. No contact at all.

Two models ordered…

I got my order a couple of months ago! There was an issue with one of the parts and he even resent another one.
I think the holdup is the colour codes that Ineos haven't released yet.

Remembers me of authentic Ineos communication style - radio silence for ages. Have not heard from my dealer since I visited my grenadier at showroom opening back in Jan. Sorry if sounding sarcastic here…

A bit of a shame really. I would love to order one but need to know the supply chain is secure first.

Just had this email from Dr Picky pants

“Hi Stu,

I cannot get onto the forum at the moment.

Can you please drop a message on the thread.

Due to Ineos still not supplying paint codes I will be sending everyone a free model via DHL over the next few days . As soon as the paint codes arrive fully constructed models will be shipped.”

Hi all
I spoke with him this morning and told him about concerns on here.
He was truly upset about it and had not received emails.
Getting correct paint details from Ineos has been incredibly difficult for him
He sounded very genuine and not at all dodgy

I have left a message on his mobile.
I will let you know what's happening when he calls me back or if I haven't heard by lunchtime I will call him again
Thanks a lot Dave!
