New Member - heres what I am building at the moment

Hi there,

I am new to this forum and thought I would share the details of the models I am currently or about to start building.

I have just finished the Tamiya Subaru Impreza WRC2001 as shown below.

Now that this one is complete I will make a start on the ones below :-

Tamiya Subaru Impreza WRC'98 Safari - 24205
Tamiya Subaru Impreza WRX STi - 24231
Tamiya Subaru Impreza WRC'01 Rally Great Britain - 24250
Peugeot 206 WRC 2002 - 24255

I fancy starting the Peugeot 206 as I am bored with the Subaru kits at the moment.

I have also just got hold of the Italeri Subaru Truck and Trailer kit complete with the Tamiya Subaru WRC kit. This should be a challenging kit to make.

I have been making diecast for approx 15 years now, but just recently the hobby has got more addictive as I am just about to open my first model shop here in the UK.

Anyway by for now and I hope you like the pics.

Welcome to AF!! :wave:

Your own model shop, eh? Best of luck!!! :D

Welcome! Nice Scooby!:)

Looks very nice

You own shop Cool, I hope you are going to sell loads on stuff for us Car Modelers, and sell it online, so we can buy late at night :)

Start importing Aoshima Car Kits, and Aftermarket wheels, as no ones does as far as I know.

Steve (Also in the UK)

Sweet. Another Subaru fan it appears:sun: . That's a nice imprezza. Great work. Hope to see some more work from you soon. I think I'd go with the STi or the 206.

Welcome Tim:wave:

Good luck with the shop!:)

WELCOME TO AF.

Good job on the Scooby!

How comes it has taken 15 years before the hobby started to get addictive?

Good to hear that you're opening up a shop. I'm from the UK too, hope to visit your shop sometime.

meanwhile, your addiction is going to get worse!!

:bonghitte

Nice Subaru you got there, shame the pics don't realy do it justice...


And welcome!
Good luck with the hobbyshop :)

:) Welcome and enjoy your stay :)

Nice to see another small business owner on the board!!! Best of luck to you!!

Welcome to AF :wave:

That's a good looking Scooby you've done there. The Peugeot is a good choice for your next kit, I'm currently working on the 2002 model and it's proving to be a fun build.

Whereabouts in Derby will you be opening your shop? I work in Eastwood and it would be useful to have somewhere else to shop for supplies :D

Chris,

Many thanks for your reply.
The shop will be in Melbourne approx 3 miles from Donington Race Track. Most of my business is with 1/18 and 1/43 scale Diecast, but I now have managed to aquire an agency with Tamiya (these are not given out easily) so I will be stocking there Kits, paints and RC range.
Hope to see you some time in the future.
