my hobby
very much into collecting and modifying 1/18 scale diecast model cars
so much so i now produce my own parts etc
here is a few albums of stuff i have done over the years and some of my customers models they have done using my parts .
for any of you that are not sure 1/18 scale is approx 10-12 " long so quite a big model which allows for a lot more detail
not sure if its ok to post links to my work , if its not please delete
just easier doing it this way as it would take days to upload individually otherwise

Colin Leader? 
Recently joined us in the prototype engine build lab.
My daily whip is a Clio 182, as unfortunately Ford don't currently make anything that pulls my attention.
I would however swap my Impreza for a well sorted MK1-2 or Cosworth if the right one was out there.

frayz , been to all of there shows at dunton over the last 2 years as part of the essex classic club
my mate dave owns a mint mk1 fiesta which got a lot of attention at the 100 anniversary show we went to
was a terracotta color , he sold his bugeye scooby to buy it and has recently added a very clean mk4 escort to the collection
if you were at any of these shows we have probably chatted at some point
i have owned 4 mk1 escorts and 5 mk2 escorts over the years , my first was at 15 and it was a mk1 avo....lol never got to drive it as the old man used to hide the keys when he went to work, the last one was a 4 door mk1 1300e which i parked up shortly before my son was born 16 years ago and it went missing of my mates drive :-( it appeared on ebay a couple of years ago and sold for a very nice profit , i still have the log book and keys for it , all ways keep an eye out for it at all the battlesbridge ford shows i go to but have never seen it since.
i normally have a stall set up at battlesbridge with our parts and models on show , always gets a lot of attention

Dude,
Wonder if you can help me. I'm looking for a Ebbro model, number 43126
http://ebbro.net/item/43126/
[ 43126 ] Legend of JGTC - NISSAN - 2000 - 1/43
UNISIA XANAVI GT-R JGTC 2000
I can't find one for sale online anywhere. Reason being, I'm building a coffee table out of one of the Genuine 20"x13" GTR Hasemi 3 piece wheels. I want the car to complement if I can find one.
Here's my wheel for the project.
