Although we now live in New Zealand, I'm still very 'British'. Got my first kit for my 7th birthday and been building ever since - I'm 52 now.
Occasionally I build 1:35 AFV's, but mainly I build military aircraft of all most era in most scales, as a 'break' from aircraft building I also build 1:25/24 NASCAR racers and the occasional (American) car.
Good afternoon from a cold and damp Middle Earth.
Well here t'is after eight months on-and-off the bench, my Hasegawa 1:48 Crusader. Now before I go-on, as I was editing the pics for size, I noticed that I've forgotten to add the IR Sensor [...]
Hello everyone first finish in a few weeks.
This is the not-too-good Academy 1:48 F-15A, I've had this in the stash for a fair number of years and had always intended to build it as a Bitburg machine fully loaded with wall-to-wall [...]
Hello folks, seem to have been absent from iM for a few weeks, so apologies for that:
To the point - Isn't it odd how things work-out. Over on another site I've been ruthlessly lobbying for a SAR themed build for a long time and this year, [...]
Built for 'Micro Modelling Month' over at www.modelersalliance.com - an annual GB/Campaign to build any model in one of the smaller scales.

Started just three weeks ago, and here it is DONE !
Not bragging at all, at the outset this was a "Clear the bench" build. All ongoing projects were sent to the 'pending' pile, I ordered some fresh Micro-Mesh pads & clothe [...]
Just four weeks from opening the box to finishing it on Monday evening. Now this isn't me 'showing-off' it's simply a reflection of just how well this Tamiya kit goes together.
There isn't too much to say about this project, Built almost [...]
Like most folks (especially aviation modellers) in the hobby, I've built a number of 'What If' projects over the years.
When I do them, I tend to do them as 'relatively possible', I'm not one for building rocket-powered Sopwith Camels' in [...]
Just finished this morning for the Korean War 'Campaign' (Group Build) over at Modellers Alliance, my other modelling 'home'. This is the Dragon M46 that I bought when it was a 'new' release way back in 1995 !. Only now did I attempt it as [...]
Hello again:
This is from this time last year - my first 'Kiwi' build since washing-up here in 2012. It's the superb Tamiya 1:48 Corsair, but with a few extras: An Eduard 'Zoom' set for the cockpit, Ultracast resin prop & wheels and a [...]
