    The seats were part of the renovation plan.

    This is a low budget die-cast production vespa. I have forgotten the scale of this but I am guessing a little over 1/20 scale. I screwed off the Vespa in 3-4 parts, so it would be easier to paint, weather and gain access to certain areas. The speedometer was a just a stick-on. So I made a glass, with cracks in it and glued it in place. This made a huge difference, lifting the model to a degree. I left the tyres and rims relatively clean, to show that it was newly bought as the first stage of a renovation project.
  6. I did some changes to the original car that I made sometime ago. I wanted a little more aggressive look and thus came up with this design. I used quite a few everyday items and parts from my 'Misc. box of tricks'. Original kit: Efter ombyggnationen:
  7. Kind regards Shambles. Glad you liked the results.
  8. Thank you. Glad you approve..
  9. Hi David. Thank you kindly. Yes. The MAN truck is mine as well. Glad you liked it.
  10. HaHa! thanks. Strange places eh? Care to elaborate? Appreciate your confidence in me. Thank you kindly. Much appreciated. Hi David. Yep! Pajero is correct. I guess, they did not have the right to use the name on the box kit. Thanks. Glad you approve.
  11. My thanks. Glad you approve.
  12. Thank you.
  13. Well, that's another story altogether.
  14. I have been trying out different techniques and diorama design styles for some time now. Been working out on the ‘Damaged scattered’ look, and car damaged look. Haven’t been able to decide on a possible diorama look but been working on variations(at least two). Figures will also be added later. Still needs a little bit more work. Who knows, I may just as well take another approach, as I almost do in my builds. We shall see.
  15. Thanks.
  16. I hear you. That's why I wanted to do something different. More rugged and BAD*SS! Thank you.
  17. Thank you Peter. That's pretty much sums it up.
  18. You pretty much nailed it with the scenerio of this build. Thank you. Glad you approve.
  19. Thanks Ken.
  20. Thank you. Glad you liked the results. Thanks.
  21. This is definitely out of my comfort zone. But, what the heck! Here it is. This is my version of the AMG GT3 race car. As always, I like to give all my builds a twist in terms of design and/or configuration. The amg gt3 is no exception. My theme for this build is, that, the amg gt3 was originally a competition car, which was bought by private owner. He decides to tweak the car to extreme to see how much power he can get out of the engine. Hence all the added gagets almost protruding through the car headlights(which of course, were removed to make room for the added accessories). The rear lights were also removed and replaced with netting. The windshield was removed to reduced the weight of the car. New gagets were also added all round and in the internal compartments, of the car. The roof was removed as well as the rear glass. In its place extra support for the protective cage at the rear was added. And as you might have notice, I sawed off the doors as well. The look of the AMG GT3 is bad*ss car. Now, it looks brutal.
  22. Aawwwwe!! Thank you kindly. I have no issues with that.. You have my blessings. Hahaha! I bet you did not see the guy under the excavator, did you? Thank you Bill.
