since the bossfeller has said that this place is not just about whiffs and real world stuff is more than welcome i thought id drop a few of my last years builds in here

whiffs are just a part of my model making, and i am happy to have a go at most things (cept figures.....total black art to me, they are!

)

Revell 1/9 Honda RCV211 the late Daijiro Kato's MotoGP bike

Revell 1/24 Ferrari 360 Modena

Revell 1/24 Porsche 956c

Revell 1/72 Leopard 2 MBT

Revell 1/48 Havard Reno Racer Miss Behavin', the real one crashed at an air show in NY state in the 70's

Tamiya 1/24 Toyota Celica Rally, my first go at weathering a car

Tamiya 1/35 SAS Jeep

spotted a bit of a trend there.........cant believe how many Revell kits i do

hope everyone likes them, got a Ferrari Enzo progressing slowly on the bench so that will get posted as and when

Damn you're good!

Please keep posting creations such as this. As I have stated in other areas, Real World is just as welcome here as whiffs...we discriminate equally...

Some great builds here!

thanks guys, appreciated :)

the harvard was a pain in the proverbial decal wise!, i wanted shares in microsol by the time i had finished laying down the stripes

i will do this the easy way so you can see my output for last year in total......ive posted this in a few places on t'internet (but not the other place since it contains rw stuff) so someone might have seen it already. every xmas i do a quick vid in MovieMaker as a sort of review for friends who are not into models so they can see what i do for a hobby


my year in plastic 2011

been away from the site and whiffing for a while........in fact been away from modelmaking in general for a while!........swmbo's honeydo list!

got a few whiff ideas bubbling away so must try and make a start sometime but ive been doing some rw stuff along the way

just finished a revell sherman firefly as i needed to do some tinkering with plastic or i get bored but it had to be small enough i didnt need my usual 'workbench'...not been able to get near it for stuff thats been stored around it!

aaa size battery for scale

My what lovely spats your Avia has!

All your models are wonderful, but so far, the Avia is my favorite!

Excellent work Sir! I especially like your weathering - very realistic.

Wulf · « **Reply #16 on:** May 20, 2012, 02:23:38 AM »

thanks guys, appreciated

just finished this.....Tamiya 1/12 offering of Yamaha Virago XV1000

with universal calibrated unit of comparison

RussC · « **Reply #17 on:** May 20, 2012, 04:44:47 AM »

Nice bike. Good touch putting the paint jar in for scale compare.

There are some fantastic video clips at Hobby Link Japan showing how parts are made for some of these big scales bikes and Formula one cars. Its astounding how much research and materials experimenting go into these, and done in manufacturing areas seldom larger than a kitchen.

Congratulations on some very nice models! I especially like the Porsche 956 and that Celica rally car. I have a special place in my ol' heart for Celicas. The year-one Celica, in 1971, was my high school graduation gift. Man, did I have some fun in that little yellow car! You haven't built one of those by any chance? Hey, that makes me wonder; is there a kit of the first-generation Celica available? I digress, your builds are great!

Aoshima make about 12 different versions of the first celica, from stock to race to custom, all in 1/24.............bit rare in UK and im not keen on buying from overseas.

JB Models 1/76 M113 plus a dio base by Revell from the Puma

i was doing the Puma but it crashed and burned, entirely my own fault, but i had the dio base done and it seemed a shame not to use it

had a root in the stash and found the M113 that i picked up at a show for the princly sum of 2 quid cos it had no decals

Wulf · « **Reply #21 on:** August 27, 2012, 03:11:30 AM »

been a while since i posted any thing...catch up time

Revell/ex Matchbox Panzer II in 1/76 scale

Porsche 959....Tamiya 1/24

this is a git of a kit when it comes to fitting the chassis to the body shell

Wulf · « **Reply #23 on:** August 27, 2012, 03:21:33 AM »

M4A2 Sherman, Russian service under Lend/Lease

built for a GB somewhere, wanted to try a few techniques out, especially using oils for a dot filter

plan was to do a dirty/dusty/used tank rather than a muddy one

found a pic of a Russkie M4 in berlin in '45 with same turret numbers

promise i will get back to some whiffs soon.....got some good ideas, just not the time

Some fine work there.
