My Model Car Workshop
Guest
Now I have more time on my hands, since retiring, I thought I would take up building plastic scale models again. My preference will be model cars of 1/24 and 1/25 scale, although I do intend to build some 1/12 scale models as well as larger scale motorbikes 1/6 scale and even a 1/4 scale model of a Honda CB 750 all metal parts (but more on that later).
I have several models to start building, but have been buying some new equipment for the workshop before I make a start. First to buy was a decent air compressor and a few decent air brushes for spray painting. A decent set of craft knifes and a mini drill and craft set.
My stock of kits can be seen it the photos. Not sure which one to do first, but I think I will start with the 1931 A model Ford, which is at 1/25 scale and is a Monogram kit. The other models are Revell Mercedes SLS AMG : Revell Ferrari 250 GTO : Revell Shelby Cobra 427 all 1/24 scale and a 1/12 scale Tamiya 1967 Team Lotus Type 49 F1.
Not quite sure when I will make a start as I am waiting for some paints, glue and other materials to arrive. I will mention that I will be using Zero paints as they specialize on model car paints and have the best choice of authentic colours for most makes of cars.
