Hi all

This is my latest car, although it is only a kit i have made a few scooby modifications to it, including smileys on the front and rear (harder to see) windscreens, private number plates, Subaru front sun strip and a scoobynet rear sun strip!

Here is the beauty!







What do you think!! and i know some of the fotos are out of focus but im no camera man!!!!

Hmm -- how did you manage to park it on a road whose surface bears an uncanny resemblance to kitchen worktop?

The kitchen worktop is a secret!

and the rear scoobynet sticker was printed onto decal film from the decal paper store off the internet and humbrol decalfix was used to make it stick to the model.

The banner was made on the computer in paint shop pro

I've just got a new car too, and I'm 17

It looks like it's parked on a giant window sill but it aint really. Honest.






Cheers, Rich

Cheers Si, was my first model and I've learnt loads - next one will be much better!

I was thinking of getting an EVO next but I'd rather get all the scoobs first!

These models are all available from local model shops, if u cant find one try www.hannants.co.uk but its best to phone these to order to check if they have the items u want in stock

Here are my other models

The monaco impreza, my first model so not quite as good



The lancer my second model so getting better but still a few things wrong



The focus my third model, getting better!



and finally the safari impreza my best yet apart from the sti and 01 WRC i am currently making!



Enjoy!

Okay I'm confused now - MartinM is this thread yours or your son, Rich's?

Anyway I guess you guys have been busy over Christmas.
Excellent models. Next time I pop round I'll bring along my collection of classic slot cars if you're interested. No I havent got a scoob yet.

You could have some fun if a GATSO was sensitive enough to detect the model zooming past LOL.

When you order you can tick and include all paints box.
paint is about £1 a pot and a bit more for the blue mica
spray for the body.
