…………..more of my 1/18 scale collection!
This is another Porsche GT2 Evo by GT-Spirit in 1/18 scale. A sealed resin body with superb detail, and a sublime paint finish. Having said that, I’m inclined to want to perform some modifications to it – I know, it sounds daft, and kind of arrogant! Continue reading “…………..more of my 1/18 scale collection!”
Some of my 1/18 diecasts
Something I never seem to have the time to do, sorry, I should rephrase that; Something I never seem to make time for is, reviewing my diecast collection!. Over the last couple of years I have been ferreting away diecasts of my favorite cars with the intention of making a proper display case for them in fact, that’s the real problem! Many of the most beautiful model cars I have are still in their original packaging and carefully stored in a dark press, away from any preying eyes or little sticky fingers!

Akira Nakai San from Rauh Welt Begriff in 1/18
I eventually got finishing the figure of Akira Nakai San. I went for the orange tint in the hair department and from a photo (which I now can’t find too much stuff!!) I gave him a pair of combats. I left his sneakers well worn – from all the crawling around he does underneath the cars (making sure his creations look as good under the skin as they do outside)!

A WIP of Magnus in a slightly smaller scale – 1/24 – More later! Continue reading Magnus- and then there were two!!
A Magnus lookalike – Hopefully!
I’ve done some painting of the figure to ensure that it captures (in some way) a likeness of the character. Initially, I committed myself to just painting the face, but I got a bit carried away and before I knew it, I was detailing the tattoos on his arms – pure indulgence on my part, so not a total waste of time! Continue reading “A Magnus lookalike – Hopefully!”
Making some headway with Magnus!
Magnus is up on the bench competing for a new Hair-do!
Using plenty of fusewire to “knit” his dreddlocks, the hair is thankfully beginning to take shape. I’ve used a blob of Milliput to create a kind of large beanie for what surely must be a big mop of hair to have tucked inside. Continue reading “Making some headway with Magnus!”
Looking for Magnus!!
Starting out on a sculpt of Magnus Walker in 1/18 scale. Just layering up some beard on a suitable head I came across and hopefully a likeness of the bould Magnus will appear. Continue reading “Looking for Magnus!!”
Magnus Walker and a brace of Porsches
I came across a nice 1/24 scale figure of Magnus Walker when I was ordering some supplies from Spotmodel recently. It’s a resin casting and a great companion for a couple of Porsches I had lying in my stash. Continue reading “Magnus Walker and a brace of Porsches”
