Scale models of cars, trucks, motorcycles, machinery.
No progress pics, I went straight for the build.
This was sort of a simple build but a lot of issues. I lost one brace for the front fender, tried to stretch a Sprue but gave up on it. I lost one of the rear seat fairing bolts but [...]
It’s 2.0 because this is the second one i have done. I bought this kit first and it was in bad shape with parts missing. So I bought a new one that’s the one you see in the other Headlines here (link)
Someone had said the first bike [...]
To commemorate the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army today I built the jeep from the Academy 1/72 Light Vehicles of Allied & Axis During WWII kit.
It was a fun little build, and looks great alongside my C-47 and deuce and a half [...]

In 1966, at their third attempt, Ford managed to beat their bitter revivals Ferrari to win the Le Mans 24 hour sports car race, a story that doesn’t really need repeating here. However, the official results of the race are more the [...]

I discover that I could use Tamiya’s Metal Primer to coat the chrome parts that need to be painted, this saved stripping the chrome and it worked like a [...]
I took another trip down memory lane recently to build the pickup truck we had back on the farm. My dad bought his truck new in 1970, and it stayed in my family up until just last year - 54 years! Apparently, the model kits for the 1970 [...]
