Hello everyone, hope everybody is staying safe and healthy. Here are a few photos of my latest commission build. Two Studio 27 Jaguar XJR-14.

Little update for you on the progress of the M23. I got the lower half of the body work cleared, wet sanded and polished which then allowed me to start the front end suspension, which is going together well. Next step is to build the bottom wishbones and hubs. Going to run a brake line along the bot...

Hello everyone, didn't have the time to update this thread during the build process, my apologies for that. But I will show you some photos of the completed model. Turned out pretty well.... https://i.postimg.cc/VL6f4h3w/IMG-20200411-110957.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/7LTb9RJh/IMG-20200411-110944.jpg h...

Hi all, I now have some progress to share on the diecast build I am working on. I was finally happy with the filling, sanding and priming of the body parts to apply to main base coat. This is the actual paint the car was raced in and supplied by the customer. https://i.postimg.cc/PxQfPNgm/IMG-202003...

This was intended to be a complete build thread but unfortunately I just havent had the time to keep it updated. But I do have the project finished for the customer, so here are some photos.... https://i.postimg.cc/dt5xLKxk/IMG-20200323-131151.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/hj8CgFmG/IMG-20200323-160347.jp...

Here is the progress made so far on the bodywork of the Jaguars. All paint was removed, to my surprise, maybe I should have expected it being that these are quite a low cost model to start with. But the casts were of very poor quality, with a lot of pit holes. The original paint was so thick that th...

Hello all, Here is my thread for my latest commission project. This is going to be converting three Bburago 1/18 Jaguar E-Types to customers specific race versions, each covering the racing life of the car. Here is the original car, as raced in the 1960's and restored for the Goodwood festival. http...

Here are a few photos of the finished model. https://i.postimg.cc/sgKDRpjB/IMG-20191023-134622.jpg Everything went together quite easily but I did have some issue with the windows that, to be truthful just aren't very good in this kit. https://i.postimg.cc/MT5Y73q6/IMG-20191023-134631.jpg https://i....

This is my latest commission project, I have been asked if I could convert this 1/12 diecast model into what is known as the "bullet" bus that was used as target practise as it sat abandoned out in the desert. I will be trying to recreate the model to a similar condition as the photo below...
