Here's a few i have on the go for the magazine i write for. The first one is a 1/16th scale Cortina 80% scratch built. I hope you like them.
 This one was the subject for a seires of articals on chopping the roof.  And this one is one i built for a customer a couple of years back.    And this last one i am building for Ted Krolo.

My hobby has nothing to do with cars, yet is very time consuming. I collect retro toys and memorabilia. Collect / restore/ and sell vintage Atari 2600 Woodies, Transformers and Voltron Toys etc. Great fun......and i got a great collection.
Yeh.....still stuck in a time warp!

Used to build models all the time but none left as i used to give them away to other kids who had little or no toys ( very true ). LOL now i want big toys ( as we all do ) but will be over the years hoping to collect a few cars as well. |

My wife has somewhere in the vicinity of 2,000 CD's.... A lot autographed, we needed to take out a seperate insurance policy on them, as the insurance company would only give us $5000 for them, And thats only $2.50 per CD, when most Cost $15+! We have been in the process of scanning, and databasing them for about 12 months... 10 of which we have our first baby, so thats been basically on hold for a while  As for other hobbies, I have PC's galore here, and a preetty good home network... soon to be improved once renovations are complete, I will have a room set up to handle LAN days, when required. I was considering getting into RC cars (1/10th off road) But i havnt found any clubs to race at on the Northside of Brisbane... mind you, i havnt really looked that hard. |

Play indoor basketball with a bunch of mates which is pretty fun. A good book is nice to, especially something like the da vinci codes.
