Tamiya Mercedes Benz 300SL (clear view edition) 1/24th

I chose this kit because it was the clear view version. I dont know why but i like these kits. I wasn’t particularly liking the car, I just bought it for the clear baddy, I was pleasantly surprised. The Merc 300SL was a trend setting [...]

1990's NYPD Caprice Classic RMP

A replica on my NYPD career Police Cruiser I used in part of my 20+ years as a NYPD Police Officer! At age 68 I am living my life in the past of replica builds! LOL This build is a 3D print of a 80's Impala 4 door car. It's close enough [...]

1972 Chevrolet MOTION Vega GT

Since the stock version of the MPC Chevrolet Vega has long been gone and I won't pay the prices for an original kit, I decided to scratch build one! I was originally going to use a promotional model I found on Ebay real cheap as a donor. [...]

Tamiya 1/24 IMPREZA WRC 98 SAFARI

I assembled a Tamiya Impreza WRC 98 Safari Rally Spec. All of Tamiya's Impreza kits are excellent, and this one is no exception. As the original kit is a good one, only a few details were needed to complete the kit with the use of etching [...]

Tamiya Ferrari 641/2 F190 # 12030 1:12

I did this about 2 years ago, not my best build but I enjoyed it. The tires were a mess all hardened and shrunk up. The seller had no interest in back up his sale and he was in Japan so. Really had no recourse. I found some other tires, [...]

Monogram Kurtis Kraft Racer (Selected Subjects Program)

Another fun build that stretched my detail paint abilities. Standard hardware store rattle can enamels and some patience...

Ebbro 1/20 Tyrrell 002Silverstone 1971

This one has been built for my boss, who is a major petrol-head. He asked if I could build him a Cevert Tyrrell and as this was lying about I said I would. He just wanted it built out of the box so that was done with the addition of some [...]

1:8 1917 Excelsior Board Track Racer-3D Scratch Build

Like other manufacturers, Ignatz Schwinn, who acquired Excelsior in 1911, believed racing improved motorcycle engineering through track testing. The visibility of racing success helped sales as well. A machine similar to the one I built [...]

Revell 1/24 Aston Martin DB5

A build with done with my Nephew. He's over from Turkey on holiday and this is what he wanted to build. I did the majority of the painting and he built the beast. Primed with Mr. Finishing Surfacer 1500 Black. Painted with Halfords Rover [...]

1/12 scale Renault F1 car kit by Tamiya

Well here is another completed build. A Renault in 1/12 scale. Don’t let the packaging fool you, these are vintage Tamiya kits with some pathetic photoetched thrown in. Beware that these kits were manufactured before the computer age and [...]
