#giant_killers We came, we partied, we conquered. Proof once again that the #vulturescc_uk rock. Cars were cool, music was great, bogs were blocked but the people are the best. Thank you all for another belter of a weekend.

More ** PARTS FOR SALE ** DM me if you see anything you like. Having a bit of a clear out to make some space and keep another project rolling. I'd rather this stuff was being used than sitting here gathering dust and occasionally tripping me up. Can take any of this to the Pod this weekend, but I'm leaving early doors tomorrow morning, so get in touch quick if that helps in any way. Thanks for looking.

Another motorcycle I recently completed. Started life as a 1/12 scale #tamiya Yamaha Virago. Mucho modifications in this one including shaved frame and front forks, front brake delete, raked framehead, cut down rear mudguard, lowered rear with shortened shocks using ball pen springs, rear light made from front indicator, modified seat, carbs converted to metal ram pipes, custom exhaust and decals from the MPc Black Knight El Camino. First ever bike I've built. Quite pleased with the outcome. #112scale #tamiyayamaha #yamahavirago #bobber #bobberstyle #scalemodel #littlebitofmodellingontheside

Things have been a bit busy here of late, but I'm keeping myself sane with a #littlebitofmodellingontheside This is one of the re-released #125scale #mpc Ed Roth trike kits. Bit of a ballache to build, considering how simple the kit is. My first attempt at a candy apple red paint job came out okay, and I trimmed the interior in white felt. Drilled out the exhausts and swapped the rear wheels, otherwise pretty much out the box. Enjoy the sunshine people. #125scalemodel #125scalemodelling #scalemodels #scalemodelphotography #mpckits #edroth #edroth_ratfink #edrothstyle #brothersofthethirdwheel

Garage sale! Time to shift some stuff to keep other projects rolling. Most of this will be going to the #nsraswapmeet at North Weald on Sunday, but if you see anything you like send me a message. There's a video at the end that explains most of it. Note the Flowmasters, poverty caps and 914 seats are already sold. Thanks for looking, see some of you on Sunday 👍

Finally drove the #amt '55 Chevy Bel Air over the finish line. This is my #125scale tribute to Racin' Ray Turner's Green Onions Gasser Circus entry he's been racing for 40 years here in the UK. Turned it into a 210 sedan, scratch built a load of parts, added some of the fantastic 3D-printed parts from @vcgresins and @icemancollections and painted it the correct Leyland Java Green. Cheers for the decals Ray, and the inspiration. #125scalemodel #125scalemodelling #scalemodels #santapod #santapodraceway #scalemodelcarsphotography #scalemodelsofinstagram #gassercircus #55chevy #1955chevy #trichevy #littlebitofmodellingontheside #ripjohnnythunders

My 2024 builds. The Pro Stock Mustang II stalled somewhere along the way, and a minor paint mishap meant the '55 Chevy didn't quite make it over the line but otherwise it's all good. #125scalemodel #125scale #125scalemodelling #scalemodels #scalemodelsofinstagram #littlebitofmodellingontheside

Here’s a montage of the model cars we built. Muscle car /lowrider build off. Four very different and diverse cars all with the same theme. @6t3rivi with his Coronet. @pythonscustomauto with his Challenger. @hallrich with his convertible GTO and my own Chevelle #1:25scalemodels #lowrider #musclecar #musclecars #abitofmodellingontheside #redlinetyres #redlinetires

It's been finished a while now, but here's my effort for our little muscle car lowrider build off. Started with a 1989 issue ARII '73 Challenger, panned it, painted it Tamiya Titanium Gold, added a Mod Top and interior, gold Plated Cragars, Revell redlines and foiled the trim. #125scalemodel #125scale #125scalemodelling #scalemopar #scalemodel #scalemodels #redlines #dodgechallenger #mopar #littlebitofmodellingontheside
