1/72 Gloster Meteor F. Mk.III, version is No. 616 Squadron, Melsbroek (Belgium), March '45. #histscalemodels

Market day. Was not tempted by any kits. Asked my guy to look out for Allied armour from his sources. Thought about telling him I'd buy any and every Sherman or Centurion he could put on the table, but that's not a strong negotiating position. He did have a Boeing 707 in 1:72 scale from Heller tho 👀

#Tamiya Zakspeed Capri builds update. New kit has had a good few coats of Tamiya TS Black rattle can over black primer. Restored one has had Mr Finisher 1500 in between various fill\sand operations and then Mr Color 77 Metallic Green with Mr Levelling Surfacer airbrushed.

#Tamiya Zakspeed Capri builds update. Interiors and chassis done I think. New kit has driver as included, rebuilt example has similar bloke I found in spares box from a Tamiya Countach from similar era.

#MondayMotivation & not bad at all for a 🇮🇹🇯🇵 scooter project.

Northern Lights in Morecambe right now. Slowly building up. #AuroraBorealis #NorthernLights #Morecambe #MorecambeBay

Think I might have grabbed the wrong paint for the zinc chromate primer, it's a wee bit bright 😂 #histscalemodels

My 1/72 pirate ship will remain unfinished. It was a joy to build... at least until the rigging and sails turned to disaster 🏴‍☠️

Well, that was the very, very arduous task of attaching the photo-etch bracing wires 😵‍💫 I'm pretty sure the plane is bracing the wires, rather than the other way around.

AMT '49 Ford complete! I'm really happy with how it turned out, just like 34 years ago, but better this time. Fitment and quality? Well, it's an AMT kit, so make of that what you will. Nevertheless, it looks exactly how I wanted it to...

Vintage racing creates odd combos of cars. Here's some that include my Austin A35 1)A35 + Bugatti T37 (Lime Rock) 2)A35 + Stutz Special (LR) 3)A35 + Ford-powered pre-war Special (LR) 4)A35 + FIAT 850 Spider & Porsche 356 (@PVGP) More info in ALT text #weirdcars #carbluesky #weirdcarbs #classiccars

#Tamiya Zakspeed Capri builds - wheels done. On left are original ones from restoration version, hand painted white logos using moulded outline in tyre; on right decals on smooth tyres in new re-release. Both have gold from AK Playmarker, Citadel black wash and MIG Atom metalics on nuts.

I love stuff like this. My Dad worked for British Railways in the early 1950s when there was still lots of steam powered stuff. I have a little side hobby of building model steam engines. Here's a link to photos of a show I attended last year: photos.app.goo.gl/iKR8ZqXZn9JM...

Hmmm Thanks for the reposts and I will take the GTI in the back...because unlike the individual driving that one... I know where the "loud" pedal is!

Looks like what we used to call a "steam shovel". For excavating soil and rock. Older ones powered by steam engines. Newer ones were powered by IC engines. I go to a huge excavating show in Florida every couple of years to see stuff like this. My Dad was a drag-line operator (a similar machine)

Just removed a ton of masking tape from the AMP 1/72 Canberra TT.18. Quite happy with the roundel colours. A couple of corrections are needed here and there, but they're probably best done as part of the weathering process. Next stages though: gloss coat and decals! #histscalemodels #scalemodels

Might be the last mockup before completion for the '49 Ford Back in '92, I have all the chrome parts a coat of clear orange for an 'anodised' effect. This time I'm keeping it silver and shiny. Wish they'd had the whitewalls in the '90s kit...

#Tamiya Zakspeed Capri builds update. Restoration kit chassis nearly ready, had to improvise with brass rod ready to mount wheels replacing original pins
