Default My plastic model kits (911, Millenium falcon, etc)

Some of these I made years ago, some recently. Excuse the photography skills (or lack thereof), my sister just got a digital camera so I am still learning.

1st up: 1:12 scale doyusha 911. I completed this a couple of months ago. It says on the box that its a turbo, but any 911 fan can look at the bodywork and tell you its an RS.








Close up: excuse the grainy/dusty pic










Next up is an f-15 I finished a couple of years back. Its 1:16 scale (I think)









cockpit close ups (excuse the dust)









Next: 1:16 scale f-16.













Does this one need introduction? I think not. And yes, before you say anything, I realise the strip at the back is the wrong colour, but what can I say? I was young and stupid! This was from when I was about 16.





Heres some Warhammer 40K on a home made display stand.






My only 2 diecast models: 1:18 911 turbo and Ferrari F40.






My models where they usually live, fighting for space with the tv aerial:

Because RS's dont have black bumpers like other 911's, I find they look better in non standard colours. If you dont have some fancy racing decals to put on and make it look good, it will look really boring.

Thats why I chose to paint it green.... when they sell these model kits they are unpainted.

Heres some real life RS's to show you what I mean
