Tamiya, Kawasaki KZ1300 B Touring bike, 1/6th scale.
I built the sister bike about a year ago and have been watching this one, Finally found one that had decency tires, most had deteriorated tires in the kit.
I was excited to have it did a perfect (for me) paint job on it using Tamiya [...]
Tamiya M41 Walker Bulldog 1/35 in Service of Japan_WIP
I'm not a fan of the war world, but I had the opportunity to get my hands on this model and since I like challenges, I accepted it. It is very easy to assemble and with the previous experience I acquired with rust effects I am adding more [...]
Tamiya 1966 Rusty 1300 Beetle 1/24

Tamiya Honda Repsol 213V '14 1/12

'Spad Dad'
A quick project, just less than a month from opening the box, but it did have the bench completely to itself. Biggest challenge was finding the Minigun pod in my huge stash of spare ‘dangly bits’ that I’ve amassed over many year of [...]
