Stefee's 1/24 Tamiya Subaru Impreza WRC '99
Thanks to Bob for organising this GB which will be my first. My contribution is also a blue moulded kit to join its Blues Brothers already shown. Will be building it OOB except for some seat belt PE and ribbon nicked from another kit - maybe. Going to model it with the full array of auxiliary...- Stefee

Italeri Mercedes Benz Actros 1/24
A quick update. The cab area is all painted (some love the colour some dislike it - I love it) and the bed is done to the best of my abilities. Not 100 % happy with it but once buttoned up its virtually invisible.- Stefee

Calling all members with a 3D printer.
My grateful thanks go out to Neil Merryweather for printing up these colour cup caps for my newly acquired H&S Ultra 2024 airbrush. The red ones fit a treat and the blue ones are a smidgen too tight but that is easily solved. Thanks also to Mr. Bowcat who offered his services should the printed... -
Italeri Mercedes Benz Actros 1/24
Hi all, An update on this build. I did try to get a picture of the body panels in black base coat but was unable to get a decent image. After 3 coats of S.M.S. Abyss colour shift paint, affixing some tricky chrome decals I applied 2 coats of Proscale paints 2k clear. Not all together happy with...- Stefee

Calling all members with a 3D printer.
I hope that this request does not contravene any forum rules, if so can a moderator delete and let me know? I have bought a H&S Ultra 2024 airbrush from the shop and, in their infinite wisdom, no colour cup cap is provided and none are being made. So I was wondering if any of you are able to... -
Italeri Mercedes Benz Actros 1/24
Hi all, A slight difference to my normal car builds. A demanding and complex build with 150 parts alone in the rolling chassis - excluding wheels and tyres which are dry fitted. The detail levels are sky high and, so far, no real fitment issues. Given the chassis and mechanical parts are very...- Stefee

Latest Acquisitions (2024)
Latest 2 arrivals at Stash House. The Mark II Grande was called a Toyota Cressida in RSA. We had 4 of them in the family, motoring equivalent of a kitchen appliance - unexciting but just does the job forever. Our 4 did a combined total of approx. 750000 miles with no major problems. Kit came... -

Lift off for Revell 1/1444 Saturn V
Hi all, Finally finished this beast ( except for satin varnish after the decals have fully settled ). This is a factually incorrect kit with a lack of any internal detail so I added quite a bit of detail based on photos but in no way does this purport to be any official Apollo launch vehicle...- Stefee

Revell 1/24 Jaguar E Type Coupe
Hi All, Just completed my build of this kit in 99 hours. It is a facsimile of my best friends car in RSA which is a 1964 Jaguar E Type Coupe 3.8 Series 1(+1/2) a picture of which is the first one in the attached images. He bought the car in 1994 from a SAA pilot with 32k miles on the clock and...- Stefee

Revell 1/144 Saturn V - my first attempts at scratch building.
Hi all, As you may be ware this kit is bereft of much detail at all and is woeful in some places so, after consulting images etc., I added the frameworks, piping, brackets etc. you see in the photos. I know that these are not truly accurate but I wanted to give a flavour of the real thing and...- Stefee

What's on the Bench 2024
After receiving various goodies from the shop I have started to tart up the Revell 1/144 Saturn V. Firstly the 5 main engine bells and base plate are bereft of any details. Each exhaust has taken 2 hours to remedy the seams and interior which were awful with card, sprue glue, filler and...- Stefee
