Ive not got as many projects on the go as most of you. Just the RS1600i & a special unique Mini.

To do cars is different, ive got a few.

UT EsCos (Red)
UT EsCos (WRC road car)
Solido Pug 206 WRC
Burago Mini Cooper
SunStar Escort Mk3 (Was RS1600i, now GL spec)
Hot Wheels Focus 'Wings West' (arriving soon)
1/24 Mini Cooper
1/43 Focus WRC (Corgi)
+ plenty EsCos, Capri & RS2000 matchbox cars.

I know what I want to do with the 206wrc, the red EsCos & the 1/24 Mini, just not the rest. Still need a few parts for them aswell.

This is where im at with the Arctic Blue RS1600i. Friday, I added the RS Owners Vlub tax disk holder, rear Escort & RS1600i badges & the bonnet stripes. Just the hardest to do now, the side stripes. Was going to add the sunstrip aswell but not sure about that.
