"Big John" Project Completed

A few weeks ago I posted my “Big John Phase One” article mainly to show off the great work Matt Minnichsoffer @coondog is doing with his 3D-printed tractors, in particular the one he produced for me, a gas-engined 3020 with a narrow [...]

VW Samba bus built in 12 hours straight

This is my 2nd Annual Kentucky Derby build (The F-Bomb Marathon) where my followers pick a model and when the last horse crosses the finish line I open the box and build from start to finish in one long go! I built this entirely on Tiktok [...]

MENG 1/12 Mc Laren MP4/4 Ayrton Senna

Ladies and gentlemen , I am pleased to announce that this is finnished ! Not much to say now except that this is a truly (and in all the meaning of the expression) quality and completely enjoyable kit . All that is needed is attention to [...]

Ducati 916 Tamiya kit #14068 1/12th

I bought this kit with about 6 others 2 years ago, I thought it was one I didn’t have. Turned out this was the second motorcycle model I ever built. The first being the Ducati 1199, both done 3 years and 4 months ago. They started my [...]

1/24 Revell Ferrari F2003 GA

Hi again folks. Just finished this recently, Tamiya’s fairly new 1/24 Porsche kit. I went with my own specs on this one and painted it gulf blue, with black wheels. I applied a carbon fibre kit in the interior also, which wasn’t [...]

The 1/20th scale Honda RA272

Here is the Honda RA272 F1 car driven to victory in the Mexico GP in 1967. This little Tamiya kit was built for an upcoming feature in Magneto Magazine. This is a fun little kit and great for someone who wants to take a stab at a vintage [...]

"Big John" Phase One

Over the past six years I have been building every 1/24 or 1/25 scale model tractor I could find, and as far as I know have pretty much built them all (and posted the articles here on iModeler). Unfortunately, none of the available kits [...]
