Thats excellent, very good attention to detail!
Do you know which kit it is? I'd love to get hold of one.
excellent job weldone dad
yeah next time i get chance ill take some picture of all the other stuff he has done.he's done loads of f1 cars about a foot long. paints all the engines and everything like that. all the tiny little wires. Weathers the tyres with sand paper so they look used.
Hes just finished an enzo and has plastered the cockpit with carbon fibre decals :p
He's done tanks and planes and helecopters (doing the one from M.A.S.H atm.) He's done an awesome orange porche. Oh and the best one i think he has done is hms victory with all the ropes and planks of wood and cannons etc. very impressive. its about 3.5 foot long and has a massive desplay case. It took him ages to do. he started just before i was born and finished it when i was about 16!
oooooh ive got 3 of them to high detail!!! i have a jap spec like that and a custom black UK spec and a custom aero top US spec, i also have 2 of the kits new and boxed if anyone wants one, HOMER?
edit - heres mine i made, just like yours:)

id love to do one myself but i would suck at painting it but i dont have the space to do one.
I think its tamia... tho id have to ask and find out.
yea i really dont have the time now, i used to make them after work and stuff,but ive gotten lazy now and need to relax:D did you get your model from the wellingborough road model shop? i picked one up the other day! for £12
nope my dad got it online.
I was in there the other day tho for a small paintbrush, lol.
I only live up the road :)
I think its tamia... tho id have to ask and find out.
Please find out mate :)
Used to love model making when I was a little lad, any pics of HMS Victory?
Suprasr.... PM sent :D
nope i dont have any. Ill try and remember to take some next time im up there (not very often)
Or ill ask my dad to take some if you like.
It's definitely the Tamiya one.
Just checked under the bonnet of mine and they're exact.
yep, TAMIYA 1/24 TOYOTA SUPRA, theyre the best supra models around, aoshima do the veilside and bomex supra but theyre not that accurate on the body etc, tamiya is spot on
Same kit I made, and even the same coulour!!
We should have a Supra model meet!!! (I'm joking by the way)
Nice job though
yep thats the one it is :)
Wow that is impressive :cool:
My dad has taken about 100 or so pictures of his models today!
Here are the ones ive got from him so far.
Enzo - Just to put it into context im not sure of the scale but its very small. no more than 20 cm long.

And yes. all those "carbon fibre" are transfers. cut to shape.

Porche - This car has been on my dads shelf as long as i remember. He probably made it before i was born (im 24). The transfers are starting to age a little but i love this car. Especialy the choice of sponsor :p

i just upladed a load of pics and made the post then my pc crashed just before i pressed the button.
So im going to attach them from now on. save the spam and save me some time :p
Heres a couple of old f1 cars.
Those are amazing. Are the models built to the instructions in the kit (it looks like he goes one step further and adds paint & details & stuff that aren't even in the kit!!!)

Guigsy, your dad has some serious skills.
Respect to him! WOW
:thumbs:
yes the instructions tells you which bits to paint what colours. and the kits are very detailed anyway. he is about to do senas mclaren from the 80's (not sure which one) i think its 87. Its just been reissued and is very detailed indeed. he had downloaded loads of extra things to do to it. a guy has done a tutorial on the same kit in the usa with lots of extra bits.
for example the carbon fibre on the enzo i think he put some extra on. and the bottles and things on the top of the tank dont come with the kit. and weathering under the plane where the wheels retract to. and on the back of the tank and the tracks, It doesnt tell you to do that in the kit. Or weathering of the tyres of the f1 cars to look used. otherwise there shiny!
the hornet looks quite a simple model but its incredibly detailed. there is a couple of hundred parts to it. the engines are built seperately from lots of different parts... then hidden away inside where you cant even see them!
those are impressive :cool:
your dad has serious talent mate!
Respect to him for going the extra mile on those kits, it really pays off :thumbs:
That is amazing!! Just amazing!! I am in awe!!
my dad says his are rubish. :p He also says the paint is fadeing on the f1 cars and the porch and he thinks there not very good...
Check this out (not my dads!)

They're not models!!! You've simply taken real vehicles and minturised them with a ray gun. Anyone could do that! :p
Very clever, the Challenger is great :cool:.
