does this count?, my JukeBox, it's static for an HO restaurant...

just created it the other day

[alvinlwh 5895]

My first attempt at doing a sea diorama using Poundland 2 part. 

1/700 Jap sub-chaser under attack from a B25. Tamiya of course! 😁

1/700 Water Line Series U.S. Submarine Gato Class (not used) & Japanese Submarine Chaser No.13

Item No: 31903

Tamiya 24186 Porsche 911 GT1 1/24

Now this model reminded me that I MUST buy the TA03R-S Kit, no question about it. I actually was going to start another thread asking about my next road car but since I already got this in 1/24, that question is settled. Once I finished the Thunder Dragon, the order will be placed. 

Thing is I really enjoyed the decaling on this kit, unlike the stickering on 1/10 RC.

@Willy iine here is a "proper" P-51D 😁

Even if I can afford it, I doubt I can actually find one since only 25 were ever made... 

[Willy iine 18805]

I made these over 20 yrs ago.  Sorry about the reflection and off white balance.  

I wonder if I can get decals for this F1 car.. the paint has discolored over time and needs to be repainted.. 

[alvinlwh 5895]

Two wheels for a change. 

Tamiya 1/12 Yamaha SRX-6

Sorry about the poor background, this was one of my earlier photos without a background. 

[OoALEJOoO 3127]

@alvinlwh Great shots of that Yamaha! I'm waiting for somebody to release a Honda CB400 SF, fairly modern version, to build my first scale bike. This is my primary mode of transportation right now and would like to have a 1/12 replica on a shelf!

Before getting hooked with RC cars, a lot of time was spent on 1/24 and 1/25 scale car models

CB400SF as in Super Four? Here is a part complete one of a Aoshima Version S one. Cannot complete as after many house move, I can't find the seat! I also have an unbuilt kit of the same bike, police version in the loft. 

I too used to ride a SF. 

[alvinlwh 5895]

Get your sunglasses ready!

Fujimi Chara de Car-ru "W.L.O. Sekai Renai Kiko" 1/24 Toyota Soarer 4.0GT for the girl. These pictures were taken when completed and had the right mirror missing. That had since been found. 

Fujimi decals sucks BTW, thick and sticks like cardboard and does not respond to decal solutions. 

It is this pink car that inspired me to do her SU-01 Aero Avante in pink as well.

Revell 1/48 F-104G Starfighter "Tiger Meet"

Crappy old kit that was an Monogram 1978 kit, even got the original molding marks that was taking up room in storage so built it to clear it out when "working" from home last year. 

[markbt73 5316]

My latest creation, still in need of a little touch-up: a re-re Hawk Weird-Ohs "Daddy," with a little tribute to one of my all-time favorite bands...

Just realised that you are living in Singapore, so you must be referring to the Super Four. If you want a close representation of your bike, keep an eye out for this to be released.

It is probably not what you have (what is it? VTEC 5 now?), but that is probably the only one available. My was a FP plate Ver. S, so I got this kit.

Hasegawa - Subaru 360 1964 2nd Time Japan GP T-1 Class Winner 1/24

[OoALEJOoO 3127]

That Subaru looks great! I really wish Hasegawa would release their girl figures that are only bundled on cars, as stand alone, specially the ones that have neat clothes from the era (60's, 70's). I have too many cars but not enough girls to accompany them

Thanks for the links. I've got a VTEC Revo, which I guess it would make it the VTEC Spec 4 since it came out after 3, although it's officially a "Revo". It has several differences from the currently available earlier models. It's a very popular bike so I'm holding off in anticipation the exact kit would be released at some point. All the other projects I have in line will probably keep me busy for decades!

That is an Aliexpress (I suppose in SG, you will use TV) girl. Hasegawa do release some figures.

When I left SG, VTEC 2 just came out, so you can imagine how long ago was that! 

I guess the main visual difference between the two will be the side panel where the air filter hides.

This is where I get mine from although like I said, in SG you are more likely to use TB (not TV in my op!).

Does this count as a static model? 

Built for my girl. 

[Busdriver 6209]

Whilst I’m waiting for my back op I dug my 2010 Revell Shelby GT500 in 1:12 scale

tend to do my cars in undriven showroom style. Every time I try to weather etc. I end up bug£&;ing it up!!!

Well strangely enough even though I have been making models for over 50 years I have rarely built a Spitfire.?I do have a couple of late mk19 and 22 in 1:72 scale but they’re in a box somewhere. Those pics are 1:48 my now old age preferred scale!!! I do have a mk5 half made in my to do pile along with a mosquito. I love spitfires and have and do spend happy hours at Duxford looking at 1:1 versions. 
In truth I should have said American fighters. If we’re doing British then Spitfire, Hurricane, Typhoon/Tempest and I would include the Mosquito  ( it was faster than the Spitfire and everything else in fact when introduced). I actually have 1/48 versions of each of these either in boxes or part built.

Have 2 Spitfires, a Mk1 and a Mk24 (IIRC) ROCAF, 2 Beaufighters, no Hurricane or Typhoon yet. As you may remember, I was at Hendon recently and saw a 32 (!) scale Lancaster. Will love to build that, but will have nowhere to put it.
