Scale models of cars, trucks, motorcycles, machinery.
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 [...]
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 [...]
With this model presentation, I can dispense with any pretence of being an "expert": I am simply not familiar with lorries, especially those used by the military. The question as to why I have then - with no small effort, as will [...]
Well, this is a terrible kit with even worse instructions. Somehow I managed to get it together, I’m actually shocked it’s built.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang has always been a favorite of mine. I got the Corgi car for Christmas in 1969, and have never looked back. This build of one of the rare 1968 Aurora kits is my latest experience in the world of all things [...]
The last few weeks I’ve been working on this lovely bus, part two of my ‘Downton Abby’-series. A few models before this one I built an old Renault AG (ICM) which was a lot easier than this one by MiniArt (38031). Especially the [...]
