Brisbane Motor Museum again today Classic vs Plastic. It seems my favorites today were all Classics.

I started back working my trade this morning after 17 years, what am l thinking. Tomorrow after the buddy shift today, I have a whole night of bakery production to make on my own. Anyway I turned the computer on and the wallpaper was of my dogs when I last baked.

This Revell 1966 Shelby's engine is underway. Even thou it may look the same as primer 3 coats of black have been applied to the shell. I will be taping the body after the paint cures so I can paint the racing stripes on.

This Revell 66 Shelby kit has you do the body in step one. The extra parts have race covers where the rear side windows are. I am thinking of putting those in and not the clear, any thoughts fellow modelers?

Yesterday I have started a Revell 1/24 66 Shelby GT350H. I have taken the door handles off and have a little more shaping on the window where the molded wipers were.

Revell Samba Bus is finished, I painted SMS Solar Flare paint over black to get the bottom half. The roof is SMS Storm grey on grey primer. More photos in the comments.

Revell Samba T1 Bus is up on rubber and the roof is on. I have lots more to do but with a whole lot less parts.

I have completed an Introduction into Jewelry course at TAFE Brisbane this week. It was very interesting and fun doing this course I declined an apprentice Jewelry job 38 years ago.

Enrolled into a jewelry making workshop this week for something different to do. I have made a silver ring and have almost finished a bracelet and producing a set of earrings today. My wife is happy with her new trinkets.

I had some time and have attached the doors, time to get the roof of the Revell Samba Bus on.

My favorites from the Brisbane Motor Museum today.

More work on the Revell Samba Bus and something I don't see everyday.

Round one of paint and taping is done, onto the second round of body panels. I have used SMS Colour Shift Extreme Solar Flare paint on a SMS gloss black base coat and TAMIYA grey will be for the top half.

Revell Samba T1 Bus, This kit is a level 5 my 1st. From steps 18,19 to 20 requires so much painting and retaping to have it ready. No rush all prep work is underway 😎

The Revell Samba Bus has an engine and a chassis finished. I used the colour change paint on grey primer for the underside. It looks a little pink under the bench light but it's great in the sun. The Interior is next but I will do that tomorrow.

Next build is a Revell Volkswagen T1 Samba Bus. I have been putting this one off for a while but it's not going to build itself. I will be painting it in SMS Solar Flare colour shift, red orange gold and a white roof.

This is my finished offering of the AMT 1968 Shelby GT-500. It isn't the best fitting car I have ever done but it was worth the challenge. Paint was Ford electric blue with Everest white racing stripes from SMS. I added seatbelts made a gear shift and use putty to fill a damaged chassis.

Here is the chocolate mud cake wedding cake I made thirteen years ago today

AMT 1968 Shelby is on its feet after the brass rods arrived with a quick mock up for stance. I have painted the racing stripes and drilled holes for the aftermarket bonnet pins, windshield wipers and side mirror. I also got a kit delivery I have wanted since I saw it.

One seatbelt complete.

I am waiting for some copper wire on order to replace the missing axle the rest of the underbody is finished. I might install seatbelts for the interior? I made a gear shift out of a pin head, high density foam and a bit of spare parts. What a hobby this is 😆

Engine is finished, now the interior is next for this 1968 Shelby GT500.

I have bogged up the wheel arches added part of the suspension and also re-primed, on to the engine.

On today's to do list, I am working on the hack job on the front wheel arches. I can hopefully get a nice ride hight out of this fix.

I have two of these kits one is complete and the one on the bench is missing parts. So far the carburetors, oil filter and a chrome fan are from the spare parts box. The single manifold is going to be modified to fit the two carbs. Two pictures from my local motor museum for inspiration.

I guess it was the home stretch, all finished. Suzuki Custom Tuned GSX1100S 1/12 TAMIYA

I have given myself some bench time as dust had started to settle on the TAMIYA Suzuki Katana.

It's been Father's Day here in Australia. My daughter's know me well a 66 Shelby Hertz model for the stash.

A little more work on the TAMIYA Katana, watching paint dry.

Another kit has been purchased, so no more missing parts.

I have realised that the Katana kit I am working on is missing the fuel tanks, suspension bits and god knows what else. So tomorrow I will go to the hobby shop and purchase the same one, the parts box gets bigger, no more cheap online deals.

I am now onto another TAMIYA motorcycle a Suzuki GSX 1100S, one of two similar bikes I picked up on my travels, stage one almost done.

My obligatory build video before it goes into the cabinet. #IMAI.U.S.ARMY.HARLEY.DAVIDSON

Well that was fun, I have completed the IMAI FLH US Army bike. Painted in SMS Storm Grey and changed the exhaust and added the visor, plus made spare parts.

Storm Grey tank fairings from SMS Paint, brown wash leather saddle bags.

Ukraine independent day new hat and stubby cooler. Slava Ukraine

Today the battery, spark plugs, back brake line and most of the foot controls. Part B5 was not on the spruce a danger of buying old kits online, so I made a spare one and added wire to the spark plugs so I can super glue in place.

IMAI 1/12 scale Harley Davidson Shovelhead engine and mission case installed.

It's great having a car Museum close by my favourite four from today HT Holden, two 32 Ford's and nice Torana. #BrisbaneMotorMuseum

Next on the bench is an IMAI FLH Harley Davidson. I don't do army stuff so building it as a custom.

Some stills of the Mercedes.

TAMIYA 300SL Full View finished.

Tamiya 300SL Mercedes Benz is almost finished just a few pieces left to attach.

Slowly slowly catch the Tiger, progress is being made. It is time to start the clear body on the 300SL Mercedes. #TAMIYAFullview.

The engine is finished and decals are setting on the wheels, time for step eleven. #TAMIYA Mercedes 300SL

I have made a mixture of flat red and red TAMIYA paint for the airbrush to do the interior. The drive shaft and fuel tank are installed

Still here, I haven't been building as I have had the flu and now on the mend. I will be back at the bench soon to progress on the 300SL.

I got some bench time today, had to get a respiratory infection from the the wife to get it.

I have received the magic Ammo Ultra Glue for the clear stuff yet to come. So stages 1 to 4 are complete, I am loving the detail.

I thought I might do a quick afternoon build. This is the pocket bike from the 1/12 IMAI US Army, 1980 FLH Harley Davidson.
