Next project ready to go to Canada. the owner will finish the model himself.

Some of the parts I got to make a 5 door GTI.



First is to swap the nose.



The bonnet doesn't fit anymore.



Adding a bit of 'bonnet.



'Bigger rear spoiler.





Looks OK now.



Just be sure everything fits I reinstalled the doors, windows and lights.

Try Uli Nowak or Hobby Design. Guess Ebay is easiest.

Its quite similar to the AutoArt models. Use detal floss to cut out the front wind screen.

The Jensen is a Cult model (Dutch). Grand Prix Models send me this one to customize for one of their customers.

Hydro dipping with my own designs!

The Fiat 500 is based on Keith Haring. The VW Beetle / Kaver is a combination of Berlin street art and Berlin street map by Jazzberry Blue.

Hi, need some advice - got some old models out of the loft today and found my UT escort cosworth, but it only has 3wheels!

Would love to find one to match or upgrade to 18” oz 5 spokes.

But I can’t find anything, any tips on where to look?
Try ebay or cs-diecast-tuning.com

It has been a while since I posted anything. I had a very busy car rally season.

This Renault R5 is for a guy who has sweet memories to family holidays in the 80s/







This project was quite a challenge.It took over a year to source all base models. Then another year to devellop the carbon look for the WRC with hydrodipping.

I had the case made and the price was killing. Worthwhile but killing.
