they will be entrusted to a friend and is on its way to the 8th IPMS-Phils BA National scale model competition.

the scale model competition will be from Nov 15-19, and i wont be able to make it to the ingress, so i ask a good friend to take care of them.

damn work and elections took a good chunk of time from modelling.

and next week pictures from the nationals.

and hopefully to feature more modellers from the world

hanzel

no updates. sorry...

terribly sorry for not having updates recently. these past month has been terribly hectic, and stressful, projects in the office left and right plus training. My 1:1 car needed much help too as i just blew the engine and had it fixed by purchasing a new cylinder head. and on top of that i got food poisoning a few weeks back. agonizing pain. super stressful.

well i think things are going back to normal. life here in the office gradually settling once again, my 1:1 is running like new, and i just came back from a two day vacation. :D

a little update on my projects:
-the little toyota s800 is now 90% done, just need to fit the lenses
-honda city still a long way to go
-finally found a honda civic EK kit, will have it on my hands soon
-and a set of BBS LMs that i will be getting tomorrow from a fellow modeller.


no pictures yet, but i do have a picture of my 1;1 toyota corolla KE35 SR, Kuki:

featured scale modeller: Karl Briffa aka Briffak from Malta

This is another feature of another fellow modeller. Karl is one of the cleanest JDM OEM model kit builders i know. His builds are absolutely fantastic, mostly OEM looking builds with just a change in wheels and ride height. Karl aka Briffak s one of the cleanest in the industry, interior and exterior wise.

My favorite build from karl is the Evo 6 lancer.

Karl writes for us:

"Hi, I've been into the car modelling world since the age of 15 where I used to add small paint touches to 1:24 scale diecasts to make them more realistic. After these, I moved to the larger 1:18 scale where I used to buy second-hand diecasts so that I could customize them to my liking. As time passed, in real life I was getting more interested in the world of the Japanese cars and at the beginning of 2008 I decided to transfer this interest into the car modelling scene and started building 1:24 plastic kits with the only theme being 'JDM cars!'. I build these mostly standard, out of the box, since I love the look these cars have when they roll out of the factory but I'm taking all the required time to make these as realistic as possible. Thanks for looking and enjoy the pics!"

and enjoy the pics we will. below are some of Karl's builds. More info and photos can be found over his personal website at http://www.scalecarcollection.tk/
