FALKE UPDATE.

Been working on this a lot over the last few days. It's going to be painted with a different colour. You will see when it appears. Just had to fill and sand all of the seams because it's all in the preparation. If it's messed up at this point then it will look bad at every stage. A great model. Can't wait to move it along more.

WONDERFEST 2011.

A few weeks ago I went to WONDERFEST 2011 in Louisville, Kentucky. It was an amazing show and a modelmakers paradise. All manner of people from all over the world selling models that mostly were made to be sold there. I got a few bargains and some stuff I have wanted forever. One of the models was "RANGER 3" from Buck Rogers In The 25th Century. A lunar truck from the movie "MOON" with Sam Rockwell. A T.I.E Interceptor from Star Wars and a few other bits. Here's some shots of the stuff I bought.

FALKE UPDATE Ma.K

The FALKE cockpit is taking shape. Decided to do the interior with big padded head rest and side cushions. Going to glue the halves together this weekend. Sadly has to be done this way because of the unusual design.

1974 HONDA CHALY RESTORATION.

Well finally my little Monkey bike "Chaly" has returned from paint. A few bits still to come/was not happy with, but she is nearly there. An earlier thread shows collection and stripping down. Going to be a long one this, for such a little bike, it has a million parts and has to be just right.

WEST POINT, KENTUCKY SHOOTING COMPETITION.

A few weeks ago, I went to West Point for a shoot. An all day affair of action with a group of mates. 40 guns in total and over 15,000 rounds fired from little 9mm to .50 cal.

A WEEK IN LOS ANGELES.

We recently had to go to Los Angeles for a week. A bit of work and a bit of holiday. If you have never been, it's not like in the movies....it's worse....(joke). It's a great place to be, great standard of living, perfect weather all year round. No trouble and the people are very polite and friendly. My word of advice to anyone travelling there......AVOID the tacky tourist bullshit that goes with the place and see the real L.A. Drive the coast, go north towards San Francisco and see the real California.

THE GENERAL LEE IN BURBANK, CALIFORNIA,

The famed "Dukes Of Hazzard" 1969 Dodge CHARGER in all his glory was at Bob's Big Boy Drive -in in Burbank a few weeks ago. We were the to see how cool that car actually is.
A few shots and an amazing day.

SATURDAY ON THE HAYABUSA

My very dear friends Tad and Anna had a visit on Saturday. He has been promised a ride out on the bike for months. Well that day came and Southport for an ice cream was of course top of the list.

Here are Tad and Anna having a sit on the SUZUKI flagship ride GSX1300R, the fastest production motorcycle in the world.

BATMOBILE.

Hey kids, now the system seems to be playing ball again, here's some shots of the BATMOBILE

1966 version from TV. I made a few calls while in Los Angeles to see if we could have a private viewing. Everything was set up and there she was in all her glory.Thanks to BARRIS KUSTOMS for a wonderful hour.
