Unboxing 1:32 Scale R32 Nissan Skylines

This entry was posted in model car YouTube on by

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).

Unboxing a Market Stall- MicroAce Goldfish Shop

This entry was posted in models YouTube on by

I do like the occasional left-field subject, and this is one of those. The 1:25 Goldfish Shop is clearly not intended for markets outside Japan, but I had to get one for myself. Have a look at what’s inside the box with me.

Mine came from Hobbylink Japan, and it’s one of a series of Japanese mini dioramas by MicroAce (affiliate link)

New Mag for Auto Modellers – Model Car Truck and Motorcycle World First Look

This entry was posted in magazine model car YouTube on by

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.

Building the Flying Gun Platform from Akira

This entry was posted in 3d printing Akira YouTube on by

There are a lot of great vehicle and technology designs in Akira. Everybody (me included) loves Kaneda’s bike, but it’s hard to find models of many of the rides. So I had to make the flying gun platform when Fichtenfoo put a file on their Patreon page.

The markings aren’t accurate to the manga or the anime, but it’s another build I’m glad to add to the display case.

The Fichtenfoo Patreon is on a hiatus, but you can buy their 3D printable designs at Industria Mechanika.

Painting Hasegawa’s 1:12 Bench and Bin set

This entry was posted in models YouTube on by

I decided to paint and detail the Bench and Bin set from Hasegawa. Maybe it’s not as neat and tidy as you’d find it in a Japanese park, but I like what I got.

You can get the set from HobbyLink Japan if your local hobby shop doesn’t have it.

The food cartons were printables downloaded from here.

The Disposable Coffee Cups are available from Spinneyworld in a number of scales.

Unboxing Car Wars 6th Edition

This entry was posted in games Wargames YouTube on by

The Kickstarter for Car Wars 6th Edition ended two and a half years ago, but then…. stuff happened.

So the game only shipped in the last few months, and I finally got my copy this week. This is a first look in the box, to see what I got. Playthroughs and painting videos may come later.

There’s a section of the Spinneyworld store with 1:64 scale accessories perfect for Car Wars and Gaslands if you’re interested.

I haven’t been to the Crewe model show- previously South Cheshire Militaire- for years, even before Covid. But I made it this year, and I think I got every model on video.

Unboxing vintage hot rod kits

This entry was posted in Hot Rod model car Patreon video on by

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.
