    Bowcat's Meng 1/48 F/A-18E Super Hornet - Top Gun: Maverick

    Good morning all. :) Will be making a start on this one. For those who don't know, Top Gun is a 1986 film starring Tom Cruise, and centres around his character Peter "Maverick" Mitchell's training at the US Navy's Fighter Weapons School, known colloquially as Top Gun. Top Gun: Maverick is the...

    Tamiya Nismo R34 GT-R Z-Tune

    Morning all, Finished this one up yesterday, this was just a simple fun build and a chance to try a different colour scheme. There's a few flaws (hairs) in the paint, but it's good enough for me.

    Tamiya Nismo R34 GT-R Z-Tune

    Morning guys. :) I decided I fancied a relatively simple build so pulled this from the stash. Will be built mostly OOB. Made a start over the weekend by getting the body prepped and primed, and all the parts for the underside cleaned up. I'm not going to go mad on these as I doubt anyone...

    Meng 1/35 Husky TSV

    Afternoon all. :) After a full year of building motorcycles I thought it was about time to get back to something armed and armoured. I built the M1240A1 M-ATV almost exactly a year ago, this is very similar but in British flavour. This will be a fairly straightforward build, I might scratch...

    Tamiya 1/12 Suzuki RGV-r XR89

    Morning all. :) Finished this one up last night. Ran in to a few issues at the end because of thick decals, but overall fairly happy with the result.

    Tamiya 1/12 Ducati Superleggera V4

    Afternoon all. :) So straight from one bike to another. Started (as bikes tend to) with the engine. Turned this lot: Into this: Nothing to stressful so far, usual Tamiya build and only 4 colours. I'm about to make my life complicated though, I've decided to try and represent the...

    Tamiya 1/12 Suzuki Ecstar GSX-RR ’20

    Morning All, This turned up in the post yesterday so I got straight to work. It's being to built out of the box, the only extra bits I've ordered are the Studio 27 carbon fibre decals, Zero paints Suzuki silver and blue and a paint mask. I was considering getting the add on fork set, but I just...

    Tamiya 1/24 Ferrari F40 Competizione

    Hi guys, Got this one finished over the weekend. Pig of a kit that just didn't fit together at the end. Not happy with it.

    Tamiya 1/24 Ferrari F40 Competizione

    Good morning all. I bought this kit 2nd hand in January, and on opening the box realised that the roof was squashed and the A pillars bent. I tried to fix it with heat but it wasn't happening, so I had to order a spare from HobbyCo and was advised a 6 month wait. Luckily it wasn't...

    Tamiya 1/12 Kawasaki Ninja H2 Carbon

    Hi Guys, Finally got this one finished. I had a major mojo breakdown mid-build and took a month off modelling which I think helped. Note to self: Give the model a dusting with the anti-static brush before taking pics in the future. :) Cheers, B

    Tamiya 1/12 Kawasaki Ninja H2 Carbon

    Morning All, Pulled this one out of the stash last night. I've already got a few after-market bits for it. I've ordered some Zero paints candy green for the frame and some braided hose. Spent a while last night going through the instructions and marking what needs modifying with the PE...

    1/35 Ryefield Models M1240A1 M-ATV

    Hi all. :) Finally got this one finished, the final weathering of the tyres is not yet done as I intend to build a desert base for this, my Abrams and my Bradley, so will do the final weathering once they are all in place.

    Mini F Clamps

    Morning all. :) For some time I have been after some small friction clamps like these from ModelsRGo. Unfortunately this company seem to have closed down some time ago and the clamps are like the proverbial hens teeth. I wanted some as they would be useful on occasion when you want to hold...

    5 years on

    Morning all, I've just realised it practically 5 years to the day since I started modelling. :) This was my first ever build. And this is what I'm working on now. I think it's fair to say I've gotten a little better at weathering. :D
