1924 Fiat ‘Mefistofele’

This is Italeri's 1/12 version of the original 1975 Protar kit. In 1908, Fiat introduced a chain-driven Grand Prix racing car which they dubbed the SB4. It was used in competition and that is where Sir Ernest Eldridge from Britain saw it [...]

Back to the classics – part 2

In response to Jack Mugan's recent posting here's my version of Tamiya's Mercedes. I've finished it as a stock European version, complete with chrome bumpers, and, yes, a bakelite steering wheel! Thanks to Jack for encouraging me to post [...]

Revell 1/24th Schlingmann LF-20

My modelling tastes can be very varied at times and Fire Engines have always held an interest for me. When travelling you'd be surprised how many pictures of fire engines world wide I have taken. I picked up this Revell kit sometime ago [...]

Until recently if anyone had asked me if I was likely to make a model of a VW Polo I'd have said they were mad. However, after a year's development VW entered the World Rally Championship in 2013 and promptly won the first event (the [...]

'68 Firebird

Started just three weeks ago, and here it is DONE ! Not bragging at all, at the outset this was a "Clear the bench" build. All ongoing projects were sent to the 'pending' pile, I ordered some fresh Micro-Mesh pads & clothe [...]

A Tale of Two Toyotas - Part 2

Some of you kind iModellers commented on the previous part of this story (link) Following Toyota's disqualification from the World Rally Championship for a technical infringement, they returned in mid 1997 with a totally new car, the more [...]
