Video: What’s On The Workbench, October Update
Despite being at home in COVID lockdown here in Melbourne, I haven’t been able to get much modelling done since the last video update back in May. However, the last few weeks have been rather more productive, so here’s what’s been done:
Review: Supercars from Biante & Apex
In this review, I look at some 1:43 diecast Supercar models from Biante and Apex that have very low production numbers.
Video: What’s On The Workbench, May Update
A short update video this month, where I got the following done…
Published in Australian Muscle Car Magazine :)
I sent a letter to the editor of the brilliant print publication Australian Muscle Car magazine regarding an Australian motorsport identity that had been featured in a recent issue.

Video: What’s On The Workbench, April Update
Progress on the three Tamiya kits I’ve got going at the moment…
Review: Authentic’s FGX Falcon Supercars
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.

Supercar Conversion: 2018 Truck Assist ZB Commodore
The commercial manufacturers didn’t make any models of the 2018 TEKNO Autosports Supercars. Here’s how I made the Jack LeBrocq/Johnathan Webb Truck Assist version.
‘Blue Tank’ Lotus 79, Mario Andretti
Blast From The Past: This is a terrible model. In fact, it hardly passes as a decent toy.
1988 Coloni CF188 (Tameo, 1:43)
This Tameo kit had already been started by the previous owner. I effectively started again, trying out some new paints, a custom colour mix and modifications to fit my own plinth.
Monster Energy Supercar Conversion
Monster Energy-sponsored Supercars have only been produced in 1:18 scale. If you want one in 43rd scale, you have to do it yourself. This is how.
F1 Decals – Tobacco & More
Here’s a batch of F1s getting their tobacco liveries completed, plus a modern-day F1 that required flag, not fag, markings.
