I build cars, too! Tamiya 1/24 scale curbside Porsche Boxster

Another OOB kit for an in club build contest. Since this is a curb side kit, I didn't have to mess around with an engine or engine bay. There was some paint detailing on the underside, then the interior was finished up in greys and [...]

Tamiya 1/6 Harley-Davidson FLH Classic ((SKULL BIKE))

Clean and minty 1/24 VW Polo R

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 [...]

I am working on a hard-to-find 1914 Militaire. This motorcycle was, for it's era, built and advertised as a two-wheeled car. The first thing that was necessary was to strip ALL of the chrome plating. Chrome was not in wide use in 1914 [...]

TESTORS 1/9 Scale Heritage Softail

Here's another recently completed motorcycle. The 1/9 Scale Testors Heritage Softail. I got this one soon after finishing the IMEX Heritage. I expected things to be a bit different but that wasn't to be the case. This model is EXACTLY [...]

IMEX 1/9 Scale Heritage Softail

Here's the IMEX Heritage Softail that I recently completed. This is the model still in it's plastic bags... I did not go with the out-of-the-box version of this one. I wanted to go with white as the base for the "leather" [...]

Here's my build of the Entex 1/16 scale 1912 Henderson. This was a great build with a few minor issues with brittle plastic. However, all in all, a very fine looking completed model. I tried to shoot numerous detail shots of this build [...]
