It’s been a long time since I’ve built those hinges. I took me some time to finally gather the videos and put the how-to together. As you will see, making hinges for a 32 Ford hood isn’t all that hard. All you need is some brass tube and a brass rod, that fits well into […]

  Those following our blog may remember that we’ve been working on these two stock cars some time ago. The reason why I didn’t hear anything more about them, is because I was busy putting a DVD tutorial on how we’ve built these cars. Anyhow, while finishing the DVD, I took some time to do […]

I though about trying out new things. And trying something new can be very rewarding. But this time, it didn’t work out pretty well. This is probably the worst kit ever – or a cool toy. It depends on where you are standing. Luckily, I’ve never seen much from this brand. So here’s my warning […]

Kit Review – ’63 Chevy Nova Coupe SS 1/25 by Trumpeter

September 15, 2013
Thumbnail image for Kit Review – ’63 Chevy Nova Coupe SS 1/25 by Trumpeter

What I like about this kit is the level of detail. It does include several different parts. For instance, the body trim is entirely moulded in separate chromed parts, well at least most the body trim (the trim around the windows is moulded into the body as usual). I didn’t have the chance to build […]

Most of us love summer time! Nice weather,  sun, BBQ…. and classic cars! Around here, where I live, you can see lots of classic cars. But yesterday, the coolest thing happened to me! I went to see a used car on sale at this man’s repair garage. It was a BMW from 80s, like the […]

I would like to share this kit review with you. This maby isn’t the best kit of the history, but it is surely fun to build! This kit a very similar to the 37 Ford Sedan I’ve reviewed some time ago. The kit hasn’t many parts, but the parts are quite well moulded. The issue is, though, […]

My brother and I spent some days close to Le Mans, France. So we had the chance to visit the 24 Hours of Le Mans Museum. Although we expected a bit more of the history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans races, the museum was cool anyway. They have lots of historic race cars, […]

I’ve heard people say that this is one of the best 57 Chevy kits around. I can surely agree on many points! I wonder what you think about that… Anyway, the kit is really good when it comes to details and parts – it has over 150 parts, while some kits barely reach the 100 […]

Today, on a rainy saturday morning, while enjoying my coffee, I took some time to go through some road trip pictures of my second trip through Patagonia. I’ve shown you some pics of a Chevy Bus I found in the middle of nowhere (here’s the link) – but I still had more pics of that second […]

One of our readers, Gerhard, follows us from South Africa. He sent me a few lines some time ago, along with some pics of this build. It is a Ford 5 Window Coupe by Revell. As Gerhard explains, the car is built mostly out of the box, but with some modifications such as the chopped […]

This kit was styled by Gene Winfield for AMT. Gene Winfield, as a car customizer, was well known for movie cars (Blade Runner, Robocop, The Last Starfighter, and some more). He joined AMT during the 60s as a consultant to design kits. This kit is one of those designed by Gene. I really like these […]

In this post, I want to show you a heat gun and tell you what this tool is good for. I will also tell you about some applications for this tool, in model building but also at home or in the garage. The heat gun works basically the same way as a hair dryer. It just […]

Fribourg Classic Car Market

About two week ago, I decided to visit a Classic Car Market in Switzerland with a friend. Although I don’t live close to Fribourg (and I wasn’t looking to buy any classic car), it was definitely worth the visit! All the “usual suspects” were there, so I would like to dedicate some pics to the rather unusual […]

Finally, I’ve found some inspiration to continue this project I’ve started last year. From time to time, I tend to do smaller things in between, while working on a larger build. While working on this project, I’ve thought about what brand of gas would it sell. I’m still not quite sure about it, but I […]

I really like this Model T. It reminds me of that old Model T pickup at my grandpa´s junkyard back in the day when my brother and I were kids. It looks like the AMT kit i recently reviewed. I can’t wait to build this as a junker too!  I like the way Mark made […]

1937 Ford Sedan 1/24 by Monogram

Thumbnail image for 1937 Ford Sedan 1/24 by Monogram

This kit is basically only a custom, so you won’t be able to build it original – or not without some extra work. The body is pretty much ok. There aren’t many details on this car anyway, but the few details are well moulded. Maybe the door hinges are a bit too big, but other […]

One of your readers, Tom, sent me a lot of pics of a junkyard close to where he lives. Thanks Tom! I would like to share these pics with you. I personally like the title picture a lot! In Tom’s own words: “These were used to plow fields as well as power other machinery like […]

If there were model kits in heaven, this is surely one of the kits you get up there! I wish all kits would have as many options as this one. This is a must have! I always wanted to build a Model T and bought one by Lindberg a long time ago, a very disappointing kit. But […]

I had the chance to make a second road trip through Argentina with my girlfriend late past year, just before Christmas. I have, again, tons of pics and I will share them with you soon enough. This bus was a real cool find. We were on the road, cruising through the patagonian desert – again […]

I thought it would be a good idea to share this short review with you, specially for those who are thinking about buying a dremel tool but aren’t sure yet if that is what you need. First of all, “Dremel” is a brand – there are other manufacturers of rotary tools suitable for model builders […]

I’ve written a review on Revell’s 1965 Mustang Fastback 2+2 kit a while ago. As I’ve got this kit as a Christmas present from my sister (thanks!), I though about making a kit comparison, just to let you know what are the differences and maybe you can pick the kit you like the most. To […]

One of our readers, Tom, sent me some pics of this Studebaker bus from 1937 as a 1/25 scale resin body. As Tom says, the kit includes the body, complete interior with seats and dash plus headlights and frame – but no window glass. The moulding looks pretty good – but that logo on the fron […]

This first car is race car by Mercedes-Benz based on the 300 SEL model from 1971 but with a few performance changes. This racer had a V8 6.8 liter engine – that’s about 415 cubic inch – with 530 horsepower. You know these race dirvers… always in hurry 😉 This was the first Mercedes Benz […]
