Long, long time modeller
My latest project the Brabham BT44.
I picked this up wen it was reissued a couple of years ago. It's an old kit and in need of some enhancements. I've made some parts from alloy turned up in an old watch makers lathe or using simple hand [...]
I was fortunate enough to get the chance to build one of these incredible kits.
It wasn't without its challenges though. The decals especially those around the nose cone were difficult to apply being thick and the wrong shape. In the end I [...]

I thought I would share my latest project. Its an all resin 350th Klingon K'tinga. The kit was a nightmare to assemble with poorly cast parts, no instructions, base or decals.
It took many hours of correction and the addition of extra [...]
I was fortunate enough to have my work selected for the July award. From the excellent selection of kits available as a prize there was only really one contender for me, and that was Eduard's "Rockin Rhino". I'm looking forward [...]
