Styrene Addict. Show us your latest kits here.

Been contemplating buying one of these for about three years but was always put off by the price. Well finally I scored one off ebay at a reasonable price, if £104.00 can be considered reasonable.





It's 1:12 scale and measures approx 350mm long when assembled. (14")

It's comprehensively detailed already but I'm sure I can alaways find more to add!! LOL

yikes!.....that looks a mega build, look forward to seeing you tackle that one

Wowsers that's an awesome piece of plastic, I'm sure you will do it justice!

Awesome subject, AL. I am sure you will sprinkle some of your magic all over it. Hope you start it soon.

Thats more than i spend on models a year Al lol

Looks good though !!

I'm really looking forward to it.

I have the truck, the Petty Charger and a diorama to complete by Dec 31st. Then I am returning to Mile End Garage until it's finished.

Then it's on to the Warspite, a 1:20 Tyrrell , a 1:12 Lotus 49b, a 1:12 Ferrari and the Mefistofele, and I suspect the latter will be the first of them. So maybe April 1st onwards??

Trivia: Mefistofeles apparentley translates to 'infernal noise'.

Never come remotely close to that amount before Colin and I resisted for three years!!! LOL

You know what them Borg type people said once or twice .........

Resistance is futile !!!!!

looking forward to it

Holy OMG!  Good luck!  Try not to lose any of the zillion parts.  Plenty of teensy screws as well.

you know how it goes.......only went in for a can of matt varnish.....spotted these on the shelf at the silly price of 4 quid

no idea what i shall do with them lol

At four quid, does it matter? Feeding the addiction!!!

well.i do have one of these in the stash that they would work well with




i dont see figures as a 'kit', they are just accessories lol

They you go. Perfic!

lol.....just need the time and oppertunity to build it now

Forgot to show you guys this. It's the caravan kit to go behind the Bedford race truck. Most of the jumbled pile is the interior fittings. The window frames and side stripes look too thick but I am sure I can sand them down.

All laser cut out of 2mm HDF.







I don't intend using the kit wooden wheels so I'll be on the lookout for some period looking styrene versions. I'll also need to make a hitch, make or find some gas bottles, windows, rear lights and some corner legs

Hi Al,

That looks a great little kit, but, with a man of your talent, I have to ask, could you of not scratched built one...

Andy...

Been going to Hobby Lobby with 40% off coupons and picked these up



been wanting to get one and see if it works better than a coat hanger

reissue of the Jawbreaker



71 Thunderbird



and went by the mark down shelf and found this for $9.00 which followed me home



Picked up this 69 Torino Funny Car body on e-bay



That's all for this week

I just checked my camera and reset the size to 640X480 don't know how it got changed but it's reset now, sorry for the large photos

Glad to see the "jawbreaker" kit back out. It is really the John Milner Dragster kit reboxed. All you need is declas fromn the Milner Dragster and you are good to go. I know it has a Hemi and the Milner car had a Small Block Chevy, But the kit as been that way since day one. LOL

Cool stuff, hope to see some here in the future.  Paint stand is a classic too.
