The Northern Model Show Competition.

And now for the part you have all been waiting for, the best in classes. The award for best in show went to the 1/32 Grumman A-6 Intruder. As soon as I saw it, I turned to my mate and said I thought that it was going to win. It stood out [...]

Jaguar XJ220

Hello again! This is my entry for the 'year of the cat' group build, my childhood favourite, the XJ220. About the car... There was originally never any intention of making the car. It was designed as a concept by Jim Randle and unveiled [...]

Su-34 Fullback

Hi again folks, just finished building Mr Putin's flying tank! This is the fairly new Hobbyboss 1/48 scale kit of the strike flanker and the first ever Su-34 in this scale. I waited ages for its release and eventually bought it back in [...]
