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 [...]

Here is one for Al Huffman It’s a Car!

I heard you wanted to see more car stuff. I am experimenting with Tamiya TS17 Gloss Aluminium, TS Candy Lime Green, and Testors 1113 Dark Metallic Green on a very inexpensive Lindberg Chevy. This is really a (how much Future floor wax [...]

LA County Sheriff Patrol Car

Well this one happened quite by accident, (no pun intended) I was at the Hobby People in Santa Clarita California talking models with the Dudes when in walked a LA County Sheriff sergeant. It was like the western movies when the sheriff [...]

Revell Ford T 1910 in 1/32

This kit is part of the Revell highway pioneers (for cars included), old kit from the 80's. Done almost 60% from the scratch (windshields and frames, front suspension, horn, retractable top, steering wheel, ...) After this one, I am not [...]

’78 Season Brabham BT-46

This Formula 1 Car was powered by a Alfa-Romeo 12 cylinder engine. The Brabham team was owned by Bernie Eccelstone before he bought F1, designed by Gordon Murray & the #1 car was driven by Niki Lauda . John Watson campaigned the second [...]
