okay, got a few pics - light still not ideal, it's super dark skies and raining today....but not too bad....

all of these were built since my last post here, barring the two SAAF planes, which were originally built back in the 80's. they weren't painted, so i painted them and slapped some SAAF decals on, and not too bad, imo....



































more pics soon, these should do for  now.... :D

all these were built over the last two years, which also sort of explains my scarcity in the forums over that time.
so, you can see i haven't just been twiddling my thumbs , lol....

If I told you more about the powder I'd get a ban for talking stuff I shouldn't be hueuhe~ 8)

And holy crap! That's a line up of bikes! Love the attention to detail like the wearing on the tires and stuff like that. Never really been a fan of Ducati's for some reason but absolutely loving the Jap bikes. Could spot the Kawasaki by the color and I knew it was one haha~

No Hayabusas..? Awwie, that's one of my favorite bikes; if only I could handle it though. :)) Speaking of which I really should get a bike.

Hayabusa is in the stash - watch this space.  ;)
I'm also a fan of the Jap bikes - if you look up to the Suzuki RG250 (3rd pic from last) I actually owned that same bike, bought it brand new in 1986 for R4000 (+-$350)
had it for two years before I sold it for what I paid for it - very possibly two of the greatest years of my life!  8)

Hell yeah, looking forward to that one! Please give it the single seat with that curved rear seat cover part at the back! Wonder which color you'll make it though but guess I'll have to wait and see.

That Suzuki you showed reminds me of that one bike my dad told me about; the Yamaha RD 350. Yes I know it looks nothing like it but wonder if you've rode/know about that one and can confirm it's stupidly high torque and power.

the Yammie RD350 was a classic. my Suzuki kicked its ass, though :D 2 stroke madness ftw!

thanks Pivoyo - i used a new technique which i came up with myself for the wood effect - believe it or not, mostly done with yellow and orange coki pens, yellow/orange Tamiya clear, and varnish.
i'm quiite proud of the result, especially considering it was my first attempt at a wood finish.
and yes, the Robogirl and the other figures standing with her are all from MasterBox. ;)

That is an impressive stash, let's hope you do live to finish them all.
Ever total your investment? There is a lot of Tamiya there, quality kits but up there in price.


I only have about 35 in the box and have not finished one in 14 months. Damned Skyrim addiction!
I do have 8 in various unfinished stages though, 2 P38, 2 P40, 3 TBF Avengers and a Staggerwing.
I glue a piece here and there but no real progress.

Keep the pictures coming, OK?
