3 mk1 escorts
1 bmw 325i
3 sierra cosworths (2 saphire's and 1 3 door)
1 mk3 polo
1 mk1 fiesta
1 jetta (i made it a big bumper gti 16v in tornado red)
1 mk2 astra gte 16v
1 ford focus

i'll upload more pic's later on , just thought i'd share
 
I've not done anything like this, just the standard stuff like planes etc when I was a lad. Would love to see pics of the one's you've done if you have any though? Some cool cars in your list 8)
 
the sierra on the ramp is of my old crystal blue cossie , wish i'd kept it now :cry:

i have a 1/24 scale of it too , i'll get some more pic's taken and pop them up....
 
Im a sad sod too !!!

I build and fly model heli's and planes :D

Super geek stuff ....... And proud of it !! The one hanging in the background is capable of up to 200 MPH !! Miniature 4 stroke engine with valves the size od tiny pins :wink: Gotta love the detail !!

nothing to be ashamed of , thats a fast model you've got there , do you fly it or is it a shelf queen ?
