Hello again folks!
As promised, here is my Toyota LMP-1 prototype.
This is the number 8 car, which took the pole at the 2018, 2019 and 2020 Le mans 24hr races.
The car is a hybrid, powered by a 2.4l twin turbo V6, as well as two electric [...]
My first official model.
I am a relative newbie at this, so I am turning to the group for advice here. I have a 1/35 Sherman. I painted it in Tamiya XF-62, olive drab. In my opinion it is too dark. Hopefully it will make a nice base coat. Here is the [...]
Here are some photos of my first ship built after >30 years: the classical Tamiya Bismarck. The only upgrades added to the kit were the decking and some generic DKM railing. Other departures from the kit were home made [...]

Painted with ColourCoats Night Bomber Black, Oxford Blue, Insignia [...]
My last completed kit of 2021, here’s my 1/72 Tamiya Ki-61 Hien. This was another fantastic kit from Tamiya. I used the camo decals which worked pretty well. I do wish Tamiya provided an open canopy option since there’s pretty good [...]

This diorama depicts a German V-1 Rocket Bomb set [...]
My final build for 2021. I started this on the 2nd of this month to see if I could get a build done in a months time. This is the Airfix 1/72 A6M2b kit. Its mostly OOB. I added PE seatbelts and some gunsight glass. Hinomarus and stripes [...]
