Stefees Revell 1/600 Star Trek USS Enterprise with extras
Well after a long time away some progress to report on the build. Many many hours of joint fettling, filling, sanding then hours of masking for the umpteen different colours and masking every window using Greenstrawberry's excellent mask set I have achieved the following. When the...- Stefee

Hi everyone, Well, after a delightful 10 days at sea traversing the Atlantic and 5 days exploring beautiful Caribbean islands, completely cut off from the Internet etc. we returned home a week ago - jet lagged but happy. However last Sunday started to feel decidedly off colour and tested... -

Revell 1/24 Lamborghini Diablo
Latest vehicle in the garage for rebuilding. One of my customers cars in South Africa and 1 of only 2 over there in the early 90s. Absolute bitch to drive in town and to reverse but once on the open road it was absolutely fabulous. Just primers and base coated, awaiting decals and clearcoat when...- Stefee

Stefees Revell 1/600 Star Trek USS Enterprise with extras
A long delayed update. I have decided to build this as a general representation of the Enterprise as seen in the pilot episodes and the original series so the exact colours and their placements are not true to one particular screen presentation. The nacelle electronics and PE grilles have been...- Stefee

Stefees Monogram 1/24 1947 MG TC, modelling my first car.
Hi everyone, Well this has been a chore as the 1982 kit is really rubbish. The plastic was waxy and soap-like meaning flatting down was a nightmare, loads of flash, ejector pin marks, sink holes and extremely poor or non existing mounting points. The instructions were rudimentary at best and no...- Stefee

1/24 Monogram 1947 MG TC, building my first 1:1 car.
Slow progress on this as the clean up of the parts is taking absolutely ages. Removed all the thick chrome and found some nice details. Will be trying Proscale paints chrome paint system which is apparently the bees knees and very resistant to tarnishing/ wearing. Added BMF to the bonnet hinge...- Stefee

1/24 Monogram 1947 MG TC, building my first 1:1 car.
The kit is marked 2001 but the tooling dates back to 1982 and boy does it show. After completing 3 Tamiya car kits on the trot this one certainly demands alot more attention. Loads of flash, seam lines like the Andes, trenches like the Marianas, sink marks like The Great Hole At Kimberley...- Stefee

1/24 Monogram 1947 MG TC, building my first 1:1 car.
Hi all, Just a quick look at my new build. Modelling my first car bought in 1970 for, IIRC, for £25.00 with 2 sets of wire wheels and a brand new BL gold seal crate engine. Took my father, my brother and me 5 years to do a ground up restoration - hopefully this one's will be quicker. So far...- Stefee

No light diffusion present. Photo 2. 1 piece of translucent milk carton fitted. Photo 3. 2 pieces of...- Stefee

Stefees Revell 1/600 Star Trek USS Enterprise with extras
Quick update. Not too much progress due to a self expanding SWMBO list magically appearing! PE arrived and is very delicate but nicely detailed with good instructions. All holes drilled out for lights, wiring etc. First piece of PE attached to slightly modified impulse engine. Started on first...- Stefee

Latest Acquisitions (2024)
Well I finally paid off the mortgage last week so, of course, had to treat myself. Loads of plastic, chrome, PE, seat belt material, nuts, bolts, pipes, hoses etc. all for £72.00 delivered. It is a no name kit but exactly the same as the Trumpeter and Magnifier kits. Parts are really nicely... -

Finished in 93 hours with a few problems encountered mainly cracking decals and difficulty keeping the rear suspension in one piece. Built OOB except for the cobbled together seat belts and tin foil heat shields. Enjoyed the build mostly and it is a really good representation of the photos I've...- Stefee

Been quite a while since I updated this build. Unfortunately another friend passed away 10 days ago then my youngest daughter had a seizure and ended up with all 4 limbs paralysed for 3 hours - taking her for neurological tests on Wednesday. To cap it all my brother in South Africa blacked out...- Stefee
