Here's my entry for May. Morris Mini Cooper S 1275 The kit is the Tamiya Morris Mini Cooper, to which I have opened the boot, added scratch-built twin fuel tanks, covered spare wheel and battery. The engine is partially wired and plumbed. All chrome plating is stripped and redone with Alclad chrome, BMF on the window trim and grey flock on the interior. I also trimmed some of the tailpipes length, it was too long I think. The registration comes from a 1962 Morris Coopers S of the same colours, but it was not a 1275 engined one. They also happen to be my initials too. Mick

Here is my entry for May. I built Revell's 2006 Mustang GT over a year ago. Tamiya Metallic Red with matching red interior and silver stripes. Wheels and tires from the Revell '69 Shelby GT 500. The rear spoiler is an inverted front spoiler from a AMT '69 Cougar Eliminator and the hood scoop is from a Revell '70 Boss 429. The side scoops are from an AMT '69 Barracuda.

Hello to all again
 Here is my latest finished model for this month's contest. The model is 1/24 Italeri Scania R500 V8 but its a scratch built as you can see. The original model has 2 axles but mine has 3. The original one does not have a crane but mine has All rear parts and scratch accesories are made from liquid acrylic and polyester. The entire model took over 4 months to finish and all electonic equipments are done by me and took most of the time. The crane did not have any hydraulic hose pipes on it so I added both from a special tube that gets thinner incase you hold it directly to fire. Lights are made of xenon leds and inside the cabin has up holstery made of original viscose flock and velvet dcfix. The exhaust pipe is also hand made. I used an empty aluminium pipe and gave its shape by curling it slowly and slowly. Hope you like  Here are the pictures.           |
