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...- Mr Bowcat

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...- Mr Bowcat

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- Mr Bowcat

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...- Mr Bowcat

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...- Mr Bowcat

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 -

Ryefield Models M1240A1 M-ATV
Morning all. :) Small update on this, I installed the engine, transmission and prop shaft into the chassis. This was a tricky endeavour and involved some time and swearing, but I managed to get it all together without breaking anything off. The chassis has had a first pass with Tamiya panel...- Mr Bowcat

Ryefield Models M1240A1 M-ATV
Morning guys. :) Progress has been slow on this, purely because I am very limited in when I can airbrush. I have switched over completely to lacquer and enamel paints, and as Mrs B has asthma I only like to spray these when she is at work. This means spraying is limited to Saturdays only at the...- Mr Bowcat

Ryefield Models M1240A1 M-ATV
Morning all. :) I finished off the chassis last night with the addition of the suspension arms, shocks, springs, bump stops, etc. There are a surprisingly large number of parts in this finished piece, the suspension alone is something like 15 parts per corner. With that done I made a start...- Mr Bowcat

Ryefield Models M1240A1 M-ATV
Afternoon guys. :) I've been having a bit of a break from modelling since June whilst I got to grips with figuring out how a lathe works. As the evenings are now starting to draw in I thought it's a good time to get back to fiddling with plastic instead of metal. :) So I decided to ease my way...- Mr Bowcat

Tamiya Yamaha YZF-R1
Morning guys, Just finished this one up at the weekend. Overall a very enjoyable build, although I did run into issues at the end with the front cowling not fitting properly. I ended up stripping and repainting it, even then although better it still doesn't fit properly. Not sure if it's me or...- Mr Bowcat

Tamiya Yamaha YZF-R1
Cheers guys. :) Started putting it together yesterday. Front end. Seat and fuel tank. Then the problems started when I tried to fit the cowl. I can only assume that the internal headlight piece that connects to the frame isn't correctly located within the cowl. There's nothing else for...- Mr Bowcat
