    Nick's Mini Art 1/35 Tempo E400

    Well, very minor works have been commenced....... Rear axle. Very minimal contact point so hopefully squared up.. PE grills cemented into the bonnet... Dealing with some ejector pin marks on the inside walls of the rear body... And the rear body built up - roof just dry fitted for...

    Nick's 1/35 ICM Einheitz-Pkw Kfz.1 for the lost 4x4 GB

    Well, I must admit that the impetus on this build took a bit of a hit when the entire 2025 Group Build folder disappeared from the forum. However, this one is now completed. Main paints were Tamiya with a supporting cast of Vallejo and a splash of MRP. It all went together very nicely. Here are...

    Nick's Mini Art 1/35 Tempo E400

    Well, here she is. A little three-wheel delivery truck from Mini Art in 1/35 will be my entry for this Group Build. Instructions - these look pretty straightforward at first glance although they are not as nicely split up as some other producers...... There are quite a few schemes...

    Fujimi 1/12 Honda Z50 Monkey Bike 50th Anniversary Edition

    Honda produced this model of their iconic Monkey Bike in 2017 as a tribute to the original 1967 Z50M. I don't think it was officially imported into the UK, although the original was. The kit was given to me as a Birthday present from my daughter. Back in the early 2000's I was given an original...

    Nick's Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk 1 for the 2025 BoB GB

    Well, here she is Guys. An altogether painless build of a nice little kit from Airfix. The scheme is for a 602 Sqn aircraft based at RAF Westhampnett in Sussex during August 1940. The main paints used were an SMS RAF Sky on the underside with MRP Dark Earth and Dark Green on the upper surfaces...

    Gents, Please excuse the quality of these photos, but I took these shots at Catalunya in 2009. The first is from early in the race where Casey Stoner was still keeping with the two factory Yamahas, with the Repsol Hondas of Pedrosa and Dovizioso not far behind. The second shot was taken on the...

    Nick's Arma Hobby 1/48 Hurricane IIC for the Paint it Black Group Build.

    Here she is all done. A lovely kit that certainly deserved better than my wingy-thing skills can manage. Went together very easily and would have been nicer if I hadn't dropped the gunsight down into the fuselage when trying to fit it. Its still stuck in the bowels there somewhere..... Paint...

    Latest Acquisitions (2025)

    When I saw this book, I had to get a copy. There's some great inspiration in here and I have some association with the place. Back in the early/mid 80s I got on site at Bentwaters to replace a crankshaft oil seal on a road plane that was being used as part of a job to resurface some of the...

    Aoshima 1/12 Kawasaki Zephyr

    Here is my build of Aoshima’s 1/12 scale Kawasaki Zephyr. The Zephyr series were introduced in the early 1990s and Kawasaki were pretty much the first manufacturer to start selling what are now generally called ‘Retro style’ bikes. Indeed, the general architecture of these bikes was very much...

    Nick's 1/72 F86D Sabre - Paul T's Vintage Airfix Group Build

    Well, if it weren't for Paul T organising this Group Build, its very likely this one would have been languishing in the stash forever more. This was considered a very good kit in its day and it went together very nicely. Base paint for the metallic finish was a Tamiya LP colour with a supporting...

    Nick's oo scale Leopard Tank - Paul T's vintage Airfix Group Build

    This was a relatively straightforward build of the old Airfix Leopard 1. Aside from some decal trouble which haunted me to the end with some rather nasty silvering I'm satisfied with this one. Main paint is Tamiya Nato Green. Thanks to Paul T for getting the group build together otherwise this...

    BoB GB proposal idea

    After a dive into the stash, I found a couple of contenders.... As Tim is already doing the Defiant, I shall start with the Spit. Sorry, bit boring I know..... Nick.
