    Tamiya 1/24 Porsche Turbo RSR Type 934 Jagermeister

    Hi All, A brief preamble to this build. I've been suffering severe mojo loss since around July last year. It started with the Academy Tiger which I eventually finished, and since then I've picked a little bit at a couple of kits but just haven't really got anywhere with them. As a dining room...

    Welcome to Mr Bowcat's Racing Car & Bike GB. Chat thread

    Good morning all, and a Happy New Year. I'm trying to keep this GB as inclusive as possible, so really any racing car or bike in racing livery. Could be Rally, F1, BTCC, Le Mans, Superbikes, Drag Racers, anything you like, any scale. Can be standalone, on a simple base or in a dio (pitbox...

    Race Cars & Bikes GB

    Hi guys, We seem to get a lot of aircraft and military suggestions, so how about something a bit different. I think the last race car related GB (F1 cars) was 5 years ago! Any car or bike in racing livery. Could be rally, F1, BTCC, Le Mans, Superbikes, Drag Racers, anything you like, any...

    Academy 1/35 Tiger 1 Early.....or "How to Polish a Turd"

    Hi guys, I actually finished this build middle of July, but to be honest it was such a mojo killer that I walked away from the bench and haven't been back to it since. :anguished: I finally got around to taking some photo's over the weekend, so here it is. I'm hoping getting...

    New toy

    Having recently turned 50 I decided it was time to grow old ungraciously, so bought myself a hot hatch. Picking her up Saturday. :smiling:

    Academy 1/35 Tiger 1 Early

    Hi guys, Pulled this from the stash the other day. I got this in a job lot I bought a few years ago and was in no rush to build it as I had heard it was a dog of a kit. Spoiler warning, it is. This version dates to 1996, but I believe the original tool is from 1990. It suffers in a number of...

    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...
