And now for something a bit different!
My Uncle is moving house and came across these in the top of a storage cupboard. They duly made their way into my hands (along with a Tamiya 1/350 Yamato, but that's for a different Forum)


I haven't done a thorough inspection yet but at first glance they appear to be complete and unstarted.

I've made them both. The Vauxhall is a bit basic, but the Aston is a lovely little model considering it's age and small scale.

Very nice!
My next suggestion for a Group Build was going to be '30s and '40s, so it looks like you're already set !

Richard: I went to a hobby fair a couple of weeks ago. One of the sellers had the same AMT Olds, at a very reasonable price. Made a deal with my self to browse a little more and come back and buy the Olds. Naturaly it was gone.

Me too, inspired by one of my favourite bands

There is conflicting info on whether this is a 33 or a 34, either way it is just too cool !

I'm a fan of the Little ol' band from Texas myself.
Many years ago(Mid 80's i think), I was in a local hobby store which had the ZZ top Eliminator, from Monogram and Revell's '71 Hemi Cuda. I wanted both models, but couldn't afford both and chose the Cuda(naturally). Sure wish I had had the means to buy both models though.

For the pending 50's "Big Fins and Chrome" Group Build, I just couldn't resist!
I also picked up the old Doyusha "Nostalgic Heroes" '76 Corvette kit very cheap. It is designed to fit a small battery and motor inside so it is not great on the detail level but the body looks good and it will paint up ok.

Cheers, D
