Vintage Revell 1/45 scale Ford Consul De Luxe

Here is my tribute to the vintage Revell 1/45 scale Ford Consul De Luxe. This is following my goal to build and/or restore some old models that could bring me some good memories. I acquired this model from Andrew Burford (Leicester - [...]

Benz Patent Motorwagen 1886 - ICM - 1/24

Hello everyone My latest build is the exquisite ICM's kit, Benz Patent Motorwagen 1886 in 1/24 scale. A very good kit, highly recommended for a pleasant weekend job.

John Deere 310

This is the latest edition to my tractor collection, Ertl's John Deere 310. As a kid, I always wanted this kit, but never found it in the hobby stores I had available to me. I recently found this original 1975 kit on eBay for reasonable [...]

Review: Fujimi 1/24 Porsche Carrera 2/4 review

Porsche 356C Cabriolet (Revell GmbH 07043)

At long last, Finished! (more about that later). I took the paint inspiration from several 1-1 cars I found online. The body is a blend of decanted Tamiya spray: British Racing Green, Brilliant Blue, and White. The interior is two [...]

My first racing car model, Red Bull Renault RB8 from Revell 1/24 driven by Sebastian Vettell during the German Grand Prix 2012 season, I had the chance to see this car during the EEUU Grand Prix in Austin Texas; Vettel won his third [...]

Tamiya 1/12 xv1600.

Here's the next chapter in my current motorcycle fixation. It's Tamiya's XV1600 Custom which I have modified slightly to look more like a "semi-customised" version... I removed all the kit's fake chrome and re-did all the metal [...]

Tamiya 1/12 Yamaha Virago XV1000.

This is my take on Tamiya's Yamaha XV1000... Built from the box except that I removed the fake chrome plating and used Alclad for all the metal bits. I decided to paint it in a custom "retro" style scheme with Tamiya's Pearl [...]
