    VW T25 935 - more silliness

    Following my Ford Transit/934 mashup I thought I'd have a go at another racing van. I got the VW van kit from a Shop in Monatauban which mostly sells diecast stuff but also buys in second-hand stashes occasionally. It a very old Revell kit. The Porsche 935 was an Italeri kit. The most work went...

    Tamiya 1/12 Porsche rs 934

    Very nice. This is one of my favourite kits to build. (all the 1/12 Tamiya kits are good of course) But where did you get the wheels? Are they 3D Printed?

    Jagermiester 935 12th scale

    Evenin'all. So I just thought I'd see what a Porsche 935 would look like in Jagermiester livery. I know such a car has never existed in the form ( I think Rolf Stommelen and Bob Wolleck drove Kremer K3 versions at various times, but, of course, the bodywork was a bit different) But I managed to...

    Beemax Lotus 99T 1/12th

    Evenin' all, Well, I'm getting towards completion of the above kit. Its been quite enjoyable but certainly challenging at times. The overall quality is very good. For example a lot of the suspension components are made from resin rather than styrene which gives them a different texture and they...

    1932 Ford model B custom

    Bonjour Gentlemen, There's a bit of a story attached to this one. Whenever possible I try to encourage any youngsters I know to take up this hobby as I know I learnt a lot and it gave me a lot of enjoyment when I was young. So I had this kit (Revell) and gave it to Marlin, the son of a friend...

    Porsche 935 K2

    My Porsche collection continues to grow. I recently bought the Beemax 935 K2 sponsored by Ricoh (who are Ricoh? no idea...) but I didn't like the colour scheme. I've been watching some very informative videos on You Tube recently about the racing 935's and their derivatives and was taken by the...

    ​Dan Finks Speedwagon. Revell/Monogram 1/24

    Dan Finks Speedwagon. Revell/Monogram 1/24 This is a pretty old kit I got off E bay UK. Its based on a real car designed by Thom Taylor . Dan Fink was well known among Hot Rodders of the 80's for making custom grilles, but was quite capable of a whole car, definitely in the 'Billet' style. It...

    Transit 934

    What sort of idiot would cross a Mk2 Ford Transit with a Porsche 934 RSR? I'll give you one guess... I'm not sure what gave me the original idea, although there has been a Mk1 and Mk2 'Supervans" built, and now, I believe an even quicker one recently, and I used to work on these when they were...

    Mock up glue

    Hello all, I would like your words of wisdom on something. I need to know if theres a glue I can use for mocking-up i.e. test building subassemblies or panels etc before painting to make sure of a correct fit , or , when scratch building, trying out the fit of an engine/transmission/suspension...

    lancia Strato 1/12

    Hello All. I've just finished the above model . It was the usual Italeri mix of some parts very well made , but poorly fitting together. Most of my problems were regarding the body panels, especially the rear engine cover/boot/whatever. When I fitted it on the hinges with the screws provided it...

    Italeri Lancia Stratos 1/12

    Mornin' Gentlemen, I have been waiting for some time for the release of the Italeri Lancia Stratos in 1/12, and it finally arrived in December. So I've cracked on with it. Overall its a pretty good quality kit. Have any of you got it yet? Did you not find that Italeri supplied seat belt...

    Fujimi 1/12 Nissan Skyline.

    I've done quite a few 1/12 scale kits in recent years mostly from Tamiya of course, and I like working in the bigger scales, so I thought I'd give this one a try as its from a different manufacturer. in the past I've found Fujimi kits in 1/24th are very well detailed albeit a bit fiddly with...

    Another non-existent Escort

    Mornin' all. Its been a while since I posted about the 1/12 Escort Mk1 that I did a while back , but I was quite keen to do another one, but with a different theme. I realise that the main goal of many modellers is to accurately reproduce the exact look and specification of the real car in...

    Tamiya Porsche Turbo RSR Type 934 Jagermeister

    Very nice Bob! I've just finished the same one myself (It is the Tamiya 1/12th, yes?) It took a long while but I really enjoyed it. I'm reasonably happy with the results, although its not quite up to your standards (Can't seem to get the doors to 'click' shut amongst other things). I did the...

    Tamiya Porsche 934 1/12th

    Hello all, Well I finally got my hands on a Tamiya Porsche 934 in 1/12th scale. I've wanted to do this one since I was a teenager. This is the reissue with PE parts etc which came up at a good price on French E Bay and even came with some extra decals and a seat belt set from Reji models. Its...

    Tamiya Nissan Skyline 1/25

    Well, I finished the Skyline. Its a very detailed kit with a lot of features for the money. Especially loved the engine detail with a lovely set of DCOE Webers with aluminium trumpets. The interior detail is good with seat belts that are basically self-adhesive strips that you have to cut out-...

    Tamiya Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R Custom

    Hello All. I'd been looking at this kit for a while, but kept baulking at the price (high 50's Euros over here) and couldn't quite understand why it was so pricey. But I took the plunge eventually and found out why. On opening the box its immediately apparent where the money went. Theres a very...
