    Hasegawa Lamborghini Miura P400 SV 1:24

    Ok guys, so its been i think around 7 years since I did this last, thought i'd warm up on this Lambo thats been sitting around for some time. I need to get some more supplies, but i thought id make a start on the preparation, first with the body. The shut lines are very shallow on this kit, and...

    They Are Slowly Taking Over....

    Debs and I were having a laugh. The glassware is gradually being replaced with models. We reckon that with two more acrylic shelves in there i could fit a dosen or so completed models. Im going to paint the inside of the cabinet and decorate it with automotive memorabilia.

    Tamiya 1/24 Aston Martin D B S

    This is the next model ill be building over the next 5 months or so. Made a start on the brakes. These are the carbon ceramic brakes so i mixed up some light grey metallic and airbrushed that on. And did a mist coat of matt black to simulate the carbon ceramic look. The kit itself isnt as...

    Tamiya Nissan R89C

    Ok onto my next build. Just having a look at the kit, there are a lot of decals to place, so thats a new challenge. Just deciding if it's worth painting the body or not due to the high volume of decals on the shell. Might give it a thorough wash and apply decals right onto the body and then...
