Fw14B Top a studio Side Pod & ECU set
So Top studio have released the latest 1/12 Tamiya additional detail set. The FW14B side pod and ECU kit. Cannot wait to get my hands on this. Hopefully the Engine set by Easter. Awesome kit by the looks of it. Including a much appreciated and needed fuel head system set up. As for price I have no idea. I haven’t seen it advertised on any site so far as this is hours old. So keep your eyes and ears peeled. Set ordered on pre order to be released on the 23/01/21. £48 inc carriage to the UK. Cannot wait
The end is near for the 126 C2
Robin Witt’s MP4/7 1:20 Mclaren
F2002 1/12
Due to so much interest in the F2002 I’ve decided to get back to it this year. Once the 126 C2 and the mo4/6 are finished I’ll get back to it as soon as I can.
Please be patient as this will get finished and hopefully this year.
Ferrari 126 C2 Revell Update
The Revell kit is going well. Above are two images of what stage I’m at. The main components are not glued down as of yet they are purely assembled for gauging whether everything is fitting correctly. There is still quite a bit to do. Rear axles, more engine detail, wheels and tyres, brakes and discs all round and the main cowling. Please keep an eye on the wip. I’m not going into mega detail on this build in terms of what I’m doing as my daughter is involved so it’s mainly just a bit of fun with some extra detailing. Hope you enjoy. After this I will get back to the mp4/6 fujimi 1/20.
Revell 1/12 126 C2 Ferrari build with daughter
So the last few days over Christmas Ella (My 9 year old daughter) and I have been building a 1/12 scale engine. Most of the work has been completed by her. Painting, reference etc. The detail however is a bit far fetched for her at the moment but that is all I have done. This is all her own work and I’m really impressed with what she has done so far. Using paints, gluing and finding reference material. Wow is all I can say. A little modeller in the making. Bellow is where she has managed to get. Updates are on the wip page.
Really proud of my little girl. Love spending time with her doing this. All her choice which makes it all the better. Can’t wait to see how this ends up. So till the next time if you fancy keeping an eye on the wip please watch. 👍🏼
Final stages of the model office
The spray booth was completed today. (Except for painting the rear). I managed to get my first piece coated earlier, really happy with the two fans. Makes a huge difference from the single one I had previously. Can’t wait to get on and finish the mp4/6 and get to other kits.
Back on the bench. MP4/6 1/20
So after months of inactivity on the bench due to building the new office and model room at the end of the garden I’ve managed to get the mp4/6 started up again. Above are some images of how far I got before I packed it all away. Onwards and upwards from here. Hope to get this done by the beginning of the new year.
Last stages of the office build
Mid October Office update
Over the past few days I have been filling In sanding down and painting the surfaces in the model office area. Not sure what the wall colour will be but the shelving and surrounding areas will be black and the surfaces grey. I’m absolutely gobsmacked at these day light bulbs that are in my down lighters. So much light. Many have had opinions on me not having a window or skylight but having opted for 5 high end day light leds and the daylight lamp/magnifier I feel I have been justified in my decision therefore not losing space. There is a huge natural light source at the front which floods the office with light anyway. So tomorrow I’ll be continuing the painting and once that’s done all my other modelling gear can be brought in. I shall be ordering carpet within the next week work pending.
