A short update video this month, where I got the following done…

As the magazine also covers models, I sent a pic and some info about a diecast conversion I had done, hoping – but not expecting – … Read more Published in Australian Muscle Car Magazine 🙂
Progress on the three Tamiya kits I’ve got going at the moment…
A couple more FGX Falcons from the 2018 Supercars season were released earlier this year – Will Davison’s Milwaukee Tools entry from 23Red Racing, and Todd Hazelwood’s Big Mate entry from Matt Stone Racing.

Another batch of aftermarket decals applied to a variety of Australian Touring Car Championship models to increase the authenticity of how they raced in the day.
Building Revell’s Dale Earnhardt Chev Monte Carlo NASCAR was not without it’s problems! Here’s the full ‘how-to’ build diary, with photos.
Authentic Collectables scored a lucky coup in 2017, holding the contract to produce models for Erebus Motorsport which happened to win that year’s Bathurst 1000. I’ve just received my 1:43 version. But I’m not happy.
