I was walking around a flea market some weekends ago. I saw this old window for a couple of bucks and I though: great thing for a picture frame! This is what I started with. An old window, with just one piece of glass. As the window was pretty well built, and the glas looked […]

I’ve built this one a long time ago. It was just a quick build. I was thinking for a while if this build was worth a blog post – and today I thought: although it isn’t one of the greatest builds around, maybe it can be of some inspiration for some of you. This model […]

This is a very cool kit. There are a few Mustang kits around and this is one of the best that I know of – together with the Convertible I’ve shown you in a previous post. The body is pretty good. The body details, such as the emblems, are very well detailed, but pretty thin […]

I bought this kit as a Christmas present for my brother – who always got just shirts, socks and scarfs and was finally hoping for the rest of us to think of something else (hands up if you feel the same). This is one of the kits I always wanted to buy but still passed […]

  As I’m making a gas station, I think it is about time to start with the gas pumps and do some styrene work besides all the woodwork I’m doing, right? I stared by printing the scaled templates out of the bonus material coming with our book “Gas Pump – Making a Gas Pump model […]

Thumbnail image for 41 Plymouth by AMT – Finished Build and Building Tips

I’ve built this model right after the 40 Ford and the 57 Ford junker plus sofa. So this was my third junk scale model. The idea was to make a simple build. So I didn’t put much extra effort on scratch building parts or anything else. Still, I did take the time to cut the […]

I just wanted to share some new thoughts on this project. As you can see on the pic above, the side structure is a bit elevated now. While discussing the project with my brother, he mentioned that the roof extension seemed kind of low. Although a car or a pick would still fit below it, he was […]

Right after publishing the OLD BARN book, I told Seb I wanted to build the OLD BARN myself. He suggested I could try to make something different, based on the OLD BARN book – there is not much use of having the same barn twice, right? I thought making an old wooden Gas Station diorama could be […]
