Macross - Destroid Defender 1/72
Started to put the LAV together. With regards to the tinting of the the armoured glass, should I apply the smoke/green clear on the inside or outside of the glass? Any thoughts? Thanks for looking.- Snowman

Macross - Destroid Defender 1/72
I had a couple of bits arrive for the base display, namely the little Fujimi armoured car I wanted to offset against the Destroid to give the viewer a sense of size of the mecha and just how big it is! At first I thought the kit was a bit dear, but on opening the box I was pleasantly surprised...- Snowman

Macross - Destroid Defender 1/72
In the famous words of Elton John, "I'm still standing"! The defender now has legs and is standing proud and menacing. Still some work to do prior to paint and weathering. I put in an order for an armoured car, just to give it scale. Did some further research into the Destroids and discover...- Snowman

Macross - Destroid Defender 1/72
I am guilty of procrastinating as I am not happy with the fit of the Bandai kit! :angry: Here of some images of of the hip body and lower leg. Not very impressed! Any how, I decided the best thing was to build it sort out the issues as I go along. Here are images of the hip in construction an...- Snowman

Macross - Destroid Defender 1/72
Well, this moving along nicely. I have a couple of modules glued together. This is all OK, but still need to figure out the painting process. Alternatively I'll keep it simple and just build, then paint and weather. To assist me on the weathering I have ordered myself a copy if the AMMO Combat...- Snowman

Macross - Destroid Defender 1/72
Hi there all, I've parked my automobile builds for now and have closed the garage. I've decided to dust off my Macross mecha that I have been collecting and to start building them. First off is the Destroid Defender, this and a number of similar designs used under licence in the "Mechwarrior"...- Snowman

Knight Rider
I forgot to take photo's of the rig I made for the LED's that I mounted of the lighting module posts in the chassis. Ooops! Anyway I did take a photo of the plumbing in the base from the underside and a short video of the light in action. KITT by Gavin Snowdon, on Flickr Thanks for looking...- Snowman

Knight Rider
Hi ya all! It's been a while. I finally started my Knight Rider build. As per usual it's been dragging along. Here are some WiP pics of dashboard. Painting the individual buttons was quite a task and the colour chart had issues with the translation, with orange being the the main colour...- Snowman

AMT Freuhauf Van 1/25
Hi gang! It's been a while since I last posted. As part of my club truck build off, I started at the back with the trailer or van as it is labeled on the box. The beasty 19" long trailer was quite a handful due it's sheer size and interestingly different. The last time I built anything truck...- Snowman

1/24 Samba "Sleepah" ZZZzzz mph
A small update today, finally got around to fitting the seat belts. I opted for lap belts as that is more in keeping with the seats - ideally a full racing harness and roll cage should be fitted by that will be contrary to the look I am trying to achieve. Thanks for looking. :thumb2:- Snowman

1/24 Samba "Sleepah" ZZZzzz mph
Well, back to the body..... Did the chrome strip around the body with Alclad Chrome......happy with the look. Trial fitting the bumper. Had to remove the moulded bumper strips as they were too fussy and did a bit of chipping......again, very happy with the look. Next, more rust! Thanks...- Snowman

1/24 Samba "Sleepah" ZZZzzz mph
Hi guys, its been a while and I have been tinkering on the Samba "Sleepah". I have done a bit of pre-rusting paint work on the body. I have been working on the interior, and am currently working on the dash. Just finished plumbing in the "Go Faster" dial - the rest of the decals are still on...- Snowman

1/24 Samba "Sleepah" ZZZzzz mph
I decided that I wanted to build myself a sleeper dragster/hot rod, based on a VW Samba bus after seeing outrageous mods on Netflix and YouTube. Feeling inspired after my Stratos build, I at first decided to go down the route of fitting a 911 engine to the kit, but decided that this was so "old...- Snowman

Lancia Stratos.
This is my first rally car, and arguably one of the sexiest ever designed! I attempted to recreate it in action as depicted in photo’s of the 1977 Monte Carlo Rally. I hope you approve. Thank for looking .:thumb2:- Snowman
