1/18 modified models
escort looks good jason, what about a nice subtle silver but do some brightly coloured graphics and race numbers? or black?
finally finished my lexus today, i got the jap police scooby off roy (thanks again!) and used the numberplates to finish off the vip look i was going for..
been stripped and started too many times to count lol
toyota decuma grey, subtle kit & lip spoiler, lowenhart LDRs

amber fogs, toyota supra 2jz engine (half of it is self made, only the block, intake and outlet manifolds are from the supra)

camberrrrrrrrr, red/black vip'ish interior, flushed boot, half tinted rear lights, lip spoiler, fart can, jap plate

still has the undercar puddle lights too but theyre pretty dim in daylight
not to everyones tastes, but fits nicely in my collection. will have a similarly styled 'partner' in a few month.

Its the little things like the moss and grass that add the finishing touch.
The one on the bay at the moment will do well as it is quite a rare model to find anyway.
Have you got any pics of the christine you done a while back?
Is that also your one thats on the bay at the moment?



rs1600i interior


still lots of work to do and im going to have to spray the whole shell tghough i might ger away with brush painting the bumpers and body it with humbroll model paint but its miles off the right colour plus the car isnt diamonfd white so its a trip to my automotive paint suppliers also you will notice ive broken the grill any one doing the correct grill in resin??
not really but all the filler work doesnt help just dont dust my models often enough and the missis wont go near them for fear of breaking them
any way some of your models are going rusty LOL
