Hi folks!
For those of you who don't know me, I'm from Newcastle upon Tyne and have been an iModeler member since 2013.
I'm a chef by trade, which drastically cuts into my modelling time! Looking forward to retirement now though, just 32 years to go!

CH-47D Chinook

Eventually got the Chinook finished! Thanks very much to everyone who followed the work in progress. This is the 1/35 Trumpeter kit, and is a fair size! It was a Christmas present from Claire, not the last one, the one before, so it's been [...]

Shelby Cobra Jagermeister Racing

Here's a quick build before I go away back to work for the remainder of the month. Apologies again for defacing another classic. The kit was originally the Fujimi 1/24 of the Shelby 427 S/C Cobra. I threw the instruction book away and went [...]

Challenger Mk 1 & 2

Hi folks, I've finally got the Challenger 2 finished. Considering it was a Xmas present from the one before, not the one just gone, I seem to be a bit behind with my builds! The Mk 1 was a build from a while back and my first attempt at [...]

Sauber Mercedes C9

Hi folks, this is my most recent build. It's an old Tamiya 1/24 kit of the 1989 Le Mans winning group C car. The car was a continuation of the partnership between Peter Sauber as a constructor and Mercedes as the engine builder. The number [...]

SA-6 Gainful

Hi again, this is probably going to be my last article for a while as I have three different holidays planned between now and July. It's also the clearest my work bench has looked for months! This kit is in 1/35 scale from Trumpeter. The [...]

Hurricane Mk2c

This kit is in 1/72 from Revell, and was my secret santa present from work! It isn't the sort of subject I would normally model as my collection is fairly modern, so I decided to do it slightly different. The right side is the desert camo [...]

AH-1W Super Cobra

Hi everyone, first of all thank you for all the kind comments and feedback during the work in progress, much appreciated. This kit is an old out of production kit from Italeri in 1/35. After building the Huey Cobra in the same scale some [...]

Challenger 1 mk 3

I've been promising this one for a while! Sorry for the delay, I thought this would be finished ages ago, but you know how it is! Plus I thought I'd best leave it for a bit after Bernd's show winning Challenger, I wasn't in a hurry to [...]
