My latest model, this one was a dream to put together.

BAE Hawk T.1 XX188 Revell 1/72

[Stick Legs]

1/24 Airfix ‘Car Door’ Typhoon Mk.Ib.

Out of the box build.

If you have never built one of the latest runs of big Airfix kits they are brilliant.

I deliberately didn’t follow the instructions as I couldn’t decide to have it buttoned up or cut away so did each side differently which required a lot of thinking.
I also cut away more panels than Airfix allow for.

Just some preliminary pics as I added the last touches tonight.

Forgot to add:

486 (NZ) Squadron.
RAF Tangmere.
June 1943.

Kept clean and free of heavy weathering as they were still new at this point.

Nice work

That makes a nice change too

Really nice job there.

Yeah great job - way beyond my abilities so much respect. Sir, I doff my hat!

Wow, that's stunning!


A new addition to my cabinet recently, as an irresistable and very shiny bargain at a recent Aerojumble. I wasnt looking for a Blue Angels Phantom, but now I have one to go in Phormation with the Bunny on my "fast and loud" shelf :biggrin:

Thank you, I restarted modelling about 15 years ago and have learned new skills every time.

The Typhoon isn’t particularly hard, but it requires perseverance & treating each element as a scale model in itself.

The hardest kits which require the most talent are some of the ‘entry level’ kits.
As with anything you get what you pay for!

Thank you! Nice ‘Tooms.

As a break from scratch building bits for large scale motorbikes and to get the modelling mojo going again I picked up a Tamiya tank, their lovely 38-T. One weekend of building, a weekend of painting and most of the weathering this weekend. I also built a bridge for it to sit on, cheap laser cut thing from Amazon that barely looks strong enough to support a farm cart, let alone a tank.




One of my better attempts at figure painting.

Love the Race Rock Nascar, have a whole collection of Race Rock models and merch myself

1996 Honda Accord Wagon by Aoshima, grafted onto the floorpan, engine and suspension of a Tamiya Honda NSX to create a grown-up version of the Renault 5 Turbo / Clio V6:









Various accessory components plus raiding of the parts box took place.

Now to get back to one or two of the longer-term WIPs before being tempted to start something new....

That’s delightfully bonkers.

The ultimate sleeper!

I thought that the 38t looked a bit lonesome on the bridge, so added some Tamiya and ICM figures. Just held on by blue tack for now as I’m not 100% sold on the placement.

Great job on the Panzer 38, brilliant effort! I have just finished my first allied tank - started it a year ago and sidetracked a bit by a few other projects but this really was great fun to build. I just can’t imagine it gets any better than tamiya for a novice like myself. This went together like a dream and looks brilliant. I know this won’t be too everyone’s tastes but as a beginner I am mega chuffed with this, I deliberately went for just a bit of dust rather than full weathering for that Normandy vibe. I also tried my first go at a camo net, came out passable just about but definitely learnt a lot for next time.

Edit: when I mean it looks brilliant I mean the kit itself, not my finished efforts!

That looks amazing.

I’d be proud to have it on my shelf.
