I'm having a tough time understanding what you wrote above, consequently I'm not 100% certain if this will work, but what I think I would do is something like this, if I'm understanding you right:

class Model2Form(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = models.Model2

and then

f = Model2Form(**m1.__dict__)
if f.is_valid():
    f.save()

But I think this looks more like poor database design then anything, without seeing the entire model1 I can't be certain. But, in any event, I'm not sure why you want to do that anyway, when you can simply use inheritance at the model level, or something else to get the same behavior.
