A little history on the Brough:
■George Brough started the motor cycle maker “Brough Superior motocycles” at the United Kingdom in the year of 1919. It is famed for the superior quality of the products, as all motorcycles are totally hand made and it was called “Rolls-Royce of Motorcycles”.
The Brough Superior motorcycles company stopped production in 1940. However, some “Brough” maniacs in the modern age start to reborn the motorcycle under the name of Brough.
■Among all motorcycles produced from Brough Superior, the SS(Super Sports)100 was famous for its 1000cc air cooled V-twin engine, and the British military officer T. E. Lawrence (a.k.a. Lawrence of Arabia) was the owner of the first batch production.

Looks like a Harley......

Hiroboy black friday order arrived..

Last additions of this year,



Managed to get me one of these at last for a reasonable price, offered the guy £30 for it all in and he wouldnt accept, in the end I bedded for it and it was less than £25 so very happy indeed

i like the nastro azzuro one

i know when i did the 1/9 rcv the decals alone took me a week cos thee was so many

I cant remember if theres loads in this mate I built it about 6 years ago.. Though this 06 Stoner version has a hell of a lot more than the 03.. Wowsers I have never seen so many its gonna put me off bike building at this rate, which is not good considering another one was delivered yesterday and I now have 15 left in my stash

got a few from the memsahib and the kids this crimbo

never done a balsa kit, always wanted to, so this will be a challenge


had a German truck of some description on my wishlist for ages since i need a tow vehicle for a 20mm Flak gun


i remember doing one of these back in the early 80s.....glad they have reissued it

Got these babies for Christmas  

i like the one with the trailer

Nice, Clay.

Someone was good this year Clay. Can't wait to see your rendition of the street rod.

Paul you got some nice kits and that balsa airplane will be fun to build but it does have a different style of building than a plastic one but you can fly it when done  

Clay you got some good kits and I'm waiting to see what you do with them  

As soon as Photo bucket starts acting right I'll post what Santa got me this year  

What I got from Santa









and another paint stand

nice haul, i like the funny car

The Fiat has very delicate suspension, as I think was mentioned here a while back.  I had one when it originally came out and suspension parts snapped.  Large scale Hawaiian and 'Stang (?) will be good for any collection.  Best of luck to everyone!

first one of the year................thats one resolution already blown lol

ive made this before, a long time ago when i first got back into this lark and i want to have another crack at it,and for under a fiver it would have been rude not to lol

Love it Paul!

We had to go pick up our new contact lenses and glasses today, so it was a good excuse to look for the right color paint for the Wolf. The hobby shop was a bust, then Michael's was a bigger bust, BUT Hobby lobby was on the way home and it was just right. I looked at pics of the real car and found that the dark blue was so dark it looked black in a lot of the pics and that it was a solid color not a metallic. What I came up with was a color in a line of paints I had never used before. Its a line of paint called Wicked Colors by Createx. Its 061 Cobalt Blue and appears to be a really dark solid blue. So I will call it good no matter how it looks when its sprayed. The other thing I found was a 1/8 Honda Trail 70. The first motorcycle I ever rode when a neighbor was teaching me to ride when I was 9. I have since owned a couple of my own. The one the neighbor had was an H model in the bright green metallic. So I picked up the appropriate color.

I also looked up the Hobby Lobby website on my smart phone and saw that there was a 40% off coupon that expired today. That was the clincher.

now that is nice!

over here they were called the Dax

Don't want to rain on your parade Sam but that blue doesn't look dark enough.

If you can get it, Zero paints sell the correct shade. I know someone here or on the other site recently got Zero paints over there...... I think it may have been from Canada.

Don't worry Al, its good enough for who its for...and that is me. lol That, and its actually darker than the picture shows, the flash really brightened it up. Its almost the same color as the black label.
