Here's some photos of my work (sorry if the photos are bad) this is the Tamiya 1/20 scale Lotus 99T, I've done it in the style of the Monte Carlo Grand Prix 1987:

With the shell off:

Tell me what you think, I don't think I'm that great. This is why I want to do airbrushing because you get a much better end result.

 

Guy.

Hi newbie here.

Hello. My name is Guy, I'm 24 and I've been building model kits since I was about 4/5 years old.

I'm engaged to be married, I have 2 persian cats and a marine fish tank.

Over the years I have built many different kinds of models (planes, boats, ships etc...) but I've found that building F1 models are my favourite. 

 I have so far built 8 F1 cars (2 McLarens, 2 Lotus', 1 Bennetton, 1 Jordan, 1 Ferrari and 1 Williams all 1/20 scale) but I have also built previously a Mk1 Spitfire, a RMS Titanic (1/350 scale), The Bismarck and The HMS Prince of Wales (both 1/150 scale)

I'm also making a wooden ship model of the HMS Fly (1/64 scale) but that is an on going project.

I have made the Mary Rose as well.

I did start the RMS Lusitania plastic 1/350 scale kit but stopped halfway through (I will go back to it eventually).

I have bought 4 models that are in the pipeline, all Tamiya:

Williams FW14B 1/12 Scale (upgraded decals to Camel livery)

McLaren Honda MP4/6 1/12 Scale (upgraded decals to Marlboro livery)

McLaren Honda MP4/4 1/20 Scale (upgraded decals to Marlboro livery)

Ferrari F60 1/20 Scale

I'm planning on purchasing an airbrushing kit soon.

 

Guy.
