Scale models of cars, trucks, motorcycles, machinery.
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 [...]
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. [...]

Primed with Mr. Finishing Surfacer 1500 Black.
Painted with Halfords Rover [...]
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 [...]
