Back to basics; Airfix internal combustion engine
Sometimes it is nice to do a basic project, just the very basic tools, no glue, no paint and just create. I was given this Airfix model of an engine for Sinterklaas (Dutch tradition) and I wanted it for teaching my kids how the engine works. It is an oversimplified
2009 Dodge Challenger ‘True-Flames’
This build was more focussed on the paintjob. I gave it a somewhat custom paintjob with a gungrey body with orange and black side-striping. But to make it stand out, I also gave it a true-flames paintjob. This color-scheme was also my inspiration to paint the Luxury Yacht in these
Mitsubishi Pajero 1993 Paris-Le Cap winner
This the end result of a 2 week build during the actual Dakar race, 2017. It was part of a groupsbuild at the Dutch IPMS and even though I had to struggle with a variety of technical difficulties, not all related to the build, I managed to get the Pajero

A beautiful kit from Revell, this is the ‘108ft Luxury Yacht’ re-issue in 1/72 scale. Some changes has been made in building order, other than the instructions instructed. For the rest it is box stock.
Chrysler Turbine Jo-Han 1/25
It’s been a very long time since I finished a ‘normal’ build, but here it is after 1,5 years: The Turbine from Jo-Han. A very interesting, yet challenging kit. I bought it as a gluebomb and had to pull some overnighters to get everything back to a decent shape. But
BMW M1 Andy Warhole Le-Mans racer Gallery
I build this during the 24hrs of Le Mans, The Dutch IPMS hosts annually a 24hr event where participants (at home) build a model during the 24hrs. Due to a very busy schedule and being a bit sick, I only had about 10 hours to finish this model. I didn’t

1958 Ford Thunderbird paneljob Gallery
For my annual special paint project ( I just have to do one for the fun of it) I decided I go back to the oldskool paintjobs, The Thunderbird was a great canvas for this project and while just doing small custom touches, I tried to keep it as clean
Nissan Sunny pick-up with Skyline engine
When I saw Rodney posting this kit on Facebook, I didn’t even knew it existed. But I loved and bought one instantaneously. When it arrived, it lived up to my expectations and I saw a great blank canvas in this car. I also ordered the straight six from a KPGC10
1970 Dodge Challenger R/T
This build was ever meant for a 24-hr build, never meant for a very serious build. Just to have fun. But live turns different sometimes. I found a job just before the 24hr build and I’d rather spent the time with my family instead, so I cancelled the 24hr build.
(BMW) Mini Cooper Custom Gallery
I got this kit cheap since it was started, unfortunately poorly and I tried to sell it again, but Nobody wanted it, so I decided to make the best of it. I gave it a custom paintjob, shaved the body, put different wheels under it and have a better looking

1/9 VW Kübelrod Gallery
It has taken me more than half a year and this is my first finished build in 2013! Normally, I would’ve finished about 8 by now, now just this one. It was a project where I didn’t know for sure how it would turn out and what the final look
Nissan 350Z Nismo Gallery
I started this project 2 days ago and what I wanted to do is to prep a couple of body’s, so I don’t have to paint body’s throughout the winter. But this project went along so nicely, that I decided to work on it and I actually finished it in
Rommel’s Rod Gallery
I’ve finished this a while back, but never got to the point of making good photo’s. It is something I never have build before and enjoyed a lot. A fantasy build, far away from perfect polished paint and nice wired engines. None of that! I had to learn a lot
(Ferrari) Dino 246GT Gallery
My latest project is this Ferrari, which isn’t a Ferrari. The Dino 246 GT, it is from the Fujimi Enthusiast series and so far I think one of the better ones in that series, the general fit is better and still has lots of detail. I only added a few
Mercedes 540K Gallery
This is a often reissued Italeri kit, it is very simple and is old. The tires come in 2 plastic parts and the model is lacking detail, but on the other hand, all the detail that has been put in the model, is mostly in the visible part. The missing
Mitsubishi Pajero Gallery
I started this build many years ago, but didn’t got any further than glueing the tranny to the engine. But since I bought this kit with my wife (in the very beginning of our relationship) in Luxembourg, I wanted to get it finished. I made a bold decission on the
1940 Ford early modified Gallery
I finished this build a few weeks ago, when I did the shoot, I discoverd that I forgot the hubs, so sorry about that. The kit is a Modelking release of a very old AMT-kit, it shows clearly in the kit. The wheels are plastic and molded in 2 pieces,
1966 Chevelle Pro Street custom Gallery
And it is finished, besides the bodywork/paintjob, I was able to make this model within a month or 2, which is unusual for me. But I do like how the outcome is, it has a nice look to it, the colors look right and I liked putting in all the
2011 Dodge Challenger SRT/8
Hi all, It’s been a while since you’ve heard from me, well, i received a beautiful baby-boy and my wife and me are quite blessed with him. Because of him, I spent a lot of time less on modelling, since there is now more to do. But I did manage
