1/25 AMT Model T Farm Truck

Howdy, Made this out of one of the many umpteen reissues of the venerable AMT Model T kit. About the only changes I made was to construct a bench seat and bed from various wooden stir sticks. Weathered with graphite, pastels and Tamiya [...]

1/25 Airfix Maserati Boomerang... and a warning for those who don’t know!

What we had here was a Maserati Boomerang. We'll start off with the warning. It doesn't matter how cool you think it is outside, don't leave your models in the car with the windows rolled up! The body on mine had softened and settled over [...]

BMW Z4 GT3

hi, it's a 1/24 Fujimi kit, no problem for building this...

Off the reservation again …..

This is the Monogram Sizzler built mostly out of the box. I did this for a F.A.S.T. club project, and I must admit it was really a fun build. It does pay to try something different occasionally.

Porsche 956 Short Tail

I'm don't remember much about the history of this car. Probably campaigned '81-'83 time frame. It was powered by a Porsche flat six. The driver decal lists Bellof, Bell & Holbert but I don't remember them being teamed together. The [...]

McLaren F1 GTR Longtail

Trying to follow Rob's Typhoon posting must be like trying to follow Elvis Presley on stage, so here goes, you can boo me off if you like. When Gordon Murray was McLaren's chief designer he was tasked with designing the ultimate GT road [...]

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R

This is another of Tamiya's 1/12 scale motorcycle kits, this time a road going Kawasaki. I originally set out to make only racing bikes, so this one makes a slight change. The ZX-12R was introduced in 1999 to meet the growing demand for [...]

The little Woodie from H#@%*

This is a study of what not to ever do and I did it. I almost took a trip to the GG Bridge, not for me, but to thrown this POS over the side and into the Bay. I got a call to build a model of a 1929 Ford woodie. It is an AMT 1/24th scale [...]

Bike Fest - Ducati Desmosedici

I thought I had better join in the current mini motorbike fest here on iModeler, so, here's the Tamiya 1/12 Ducati Desmosedici Moto GP machine from the 2003 season. Yes, I'm sorry, it's yet another red Ducati, but can you really have too [...]

YZF R1 Racing

Hi everyone, I apologise for my lack of build activity in recent months, I now have my new man cave fully operational so I can get back to it! This is the Tamiya 1:12 Taira racing R1 kit. I received it as a Xmas present from the sister in [...]
