The Lost Huayra! Forza Horizon 4 Barn Find
This diorama was done for the Boylei Hobby Time June build challenge, which had the theme of video games.
Unboxing Monogram Firebolt Rocket Car – Jet powered toy
When I was younger, I put firework rockets in toy cars and jumped them off a ramp. Little did I know that model companies had made kits especially for rocket power.
I found this on Ebay, and had to get it and find out more.
Project City part 2- The Dashboard
Just a quick one for this stage of the build, the dash didn’t need as much detailing as the door panels. I added a stereo system, and the newly designed vent mounting coffee cup holder. All the Spinneyworld shop items used in this build can be found at https://spinneyworld.com/collections/honda-city-build
The Microace Honda City is available from Hobbylink Japan (affiliate link).
Project City- bringing the door panels to life
Time for a new car project.
The Microace Honda City is a simple kit, so I want to add some extra details. The first parts to get this are the door panels, with 3D printed parts replacing the flat moulded in features.
You can buy the parts used in this build at Spinneyworld.
The door handles, winders and armrests used in this part of the build were designed by Denilsonvm model cars, and can be found on Cults3D.
The Microace Honda City is available from Hobbylink Japan (affiliate link).
Bburago 1:24 Citroen Traction Avant build
Just a quick build of one of the kits that’s been sitting in my stash for years. This is a diecast bodied model by Bburago of the Citroen 15CV or Traction Avant. It seems I started it once, but didn’t get far. This time, I decided to get it done and on a shelf.
New Airfix 1:43 Land Rover Series 1 Unboxed
Another new release from Airfix that I’ve been looking forward to. This 1:43 Land Rover will be perfect for O Gauge model railways and as the basis for all sorts of builds.
Building the Mono 1:32 R32 Nissan Skyline
I built the Aoshima 1:32 R32 Skyline a while ago, and now it’s the turn of the Mono kit. How does it compare.
You can get both kits- and other 1:32 Skylines, from Hobbylink Japan (affiliate link).
Clearing some space on the workbench
Unboxing Airfix’s Most Preordered Kit- 1:32 Bond Bug
I hope Airfix learn from the popularity of the Bond Bug re-release as a Vintage Classic, and we see even more of their 1:32 scale cars. I did an unboxing as soon as mine arrived. It’s a simple kit, so it’s a short video.
Building Aoshima’s 1:32 Snap Kit R32 Skyline
I put together the first of the 1:32 R32 Skyline kits I unboxed recently. The Aoshima kit is snap together, but I couldn’t resist the urge to do a little detailing and texturing on the inside.
Unboxing 1:32 Scale R32 Nissan Skylines
What’s better than one Nissan Skyline? Four Nissan Skylines, of course.
I thought I’d compare two new models of the R32 Skyline- one by Mono, and one by Aoshima- with two older models from Microace. You may be surprised by the results.
I got all four kits from Hobbylink Japan. As the new kits are available in different finishes, I’ve created a link to every 1:32 Skyline model by the three companies, which includes older and newer generations, as well as the R32s (affiliate link).
Dragon Wing & Nana- Unboxing Madness of the Streets 2 from Suyata
Unboxing the second vehicle in Suyata’s Madness of the Streets series.
I got mine from Hobbylink Japan (affiliate link).
Tesla Powered Model T Show Rod! Meet ET
Old meets new in this project. A vintage Model T show rod kit gets a modern drivetrain through 3D printing.
3D models used in this build:
Tesla crate motor – Quick change rear – Speedster Rod wheels & tyres
New Mag for Auto Modellers – Model Car Truck and Motorcycle World First Look
A new model magazine has hit the shelves, dedicated to one of the subjects I’m interested in. I don’t remember there ever being a British model car magazine, so I hope it does well. Let’s have a look inside the first issue.
The magazine, and others, is available from Guideline Publications.
When is Airfix Not Airfix?
Unboxing two Airfix kits from the early eighties. But they’re not Airfix kits. Sort of…..
All will be explained in the video.

Unboxing vintage hot rod kits
Some models I found whilst searching through the stash. These three hotrod/vintage Fords were a mystery to me at first. I definitely can’t remember where I got them from (it was probably Ebay ;-P), but I’ve got a better idea what they are now. Look out for one or more of them becoming builds in the next few months.

Sorting a Model Car Scrapyard Car Boot Sale Find
Having bought a small job lot of model cars at the car boot, I sat down and sorted them, separating them into the ones I was interested in, and a few for Ebay.

A Tale of Two Landys
I got these two Land Rover kits out last week, and did a side by side comparison.
They’re back in the stash now, but I will be building them one day.
The Inevitable Gaslands Build
After all the shiny cars of Fitted, here’s something more battered and worn. I’ve been meaning to do a Gaslands build for a while, and this ready beaten Matchbox Jeep provided the perfect base for my first one. There will be more.
