Scale models of cars, trucks, motorcycles, machinery.
I assembled a Tamiya Impreza WRC 98 Safari Rally Spec.
All of Tamiya's Impreza kits are excellent, and this one is no exception.
As the original kit is a good one, only a few details were needed to complete the kit with the use of etching [...]
I did this about 2 years ago, not my best build but I enjoyed it. The tires were a mess all hardened and shrunk up. The seller had no interest in back up his sale and he was in Japan so. Really had no recourse. I found some other tires, [...]
Another fun build that stretched my detail paint abilities. Standard hardware store rattle can enamels and some patience...
This one has been built for my boss, who is a major petrol-head.

A build with done with my Nephew.

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.
My 29th customer build of the year. I did this to look as if it was found in a barn, so I could hide [...]
