Hi all, thought I'd introduce myself been viewing the site for a while but final took the plunge and registered as I think I might be ready to do my first wip. I've found this site very inspirationa,l some of the models on here are simply amazing, although my builds so far are of an average standard, but I'm always learning thanks mainly to you guys on here.
HLJ has posted a sneak peak of new models.
Hi All
I thought it was about time I joined this forum as I've been watching it closely for my current build, tamiya mclaren Mp4/4. I will post pictures when finished but until then I thought I would share some of my old model kits.
I guess its better to post pictures as individuals rather than add all at once with different models.

To Our Loyal Customers:
Over the years we have been pleased to provide you with the finest NASCAR plastic model kits featuring the most popular drivers. Regrettably however, over the last several years we have faced increasing licensing costs that are greater than our increase in sales. Despite our best efforts to secure reasonable licensing terms for NASCAR model kits in general, and the Car of Tomorrow in particular, we have been unable to develop a program that allows us to market the product at a viable price point. Consequently, we will not be issuing a kit on the Car of Tomorrow and, in fact, will be exiting the NASCAR business altogether. We will discontinue all sales of NASCAR plastic kits by February 28, 2009.
Last day I was in the Autopassion modelling shop in Haarlem (Holland) and they had a scale 1/8 Mclaren M23 and Lotus 79 of sale.
As usual the price for these kits where expensive €400 -- each.
But they are extreme rare and just wanted to let you know.
