Scale models of cars, trucks, motorcycles, machinery.
This is a 1/32nd scale Rolls Royce Sedanca by Pyro molded in 1966. It is from the same time frame as the 1940 Ford posted by Jeff Stewart. It was in a series of 12 cars called "Table Top Classics". Cost ranged from $.79 to [...]
I kinda cheated with this one... My wife gave it to me for Christmas 2011. The reason I say I cheated is this is the Round 2 Snap Together kit with pre-painted body. The reason I wanted this one is because it comes with Batman and Robin [...]
This is the last of my car posts until I get pics of my Batmobile. This is another highly detailed Tamiya 1/12 formula 1 kit built straight from the box. I believe this one is also piloted by Mario Andretti. These kits are not for the [...]

Frame and interior airbrushed with Polly Scale Engine Black.
Exterior was painted with Tamiya [...]
Built shortly before I moved not a great kit, but fun and looks ok once done. Curbside for sure not much detail.
Had it not been part of General Motors, Cadillac might have perished in the Depression, a time when few could afford -- or wanted to be seen in -- big, expensive automobiles no matter how superb.
Unlike independent Packard, which was [...]
Every now and then I like to unwind with bit of fun, and these little kits really fit the bill. I strip the chrome so I can clean up the seam lines, then replace it with Alclad. The body is Spaz Stix Flourescent Blue from a spary bomb. [...]
