I haven't sent in any submissions in a
while now...mainly beacause I have been working on a model project
for the past 18 months. So here it is!

It's a "Top Fuel" category drag racing motorcycle, pretty much
scratchbuilt from styrene, steel, aluminium, resin and brass for all
but the front fork/wheel assembly (which was modified from a Tamiya
kit)... The bodywork is in styrene and the massive rear tire is in
resin...and those pulleys were turned and hand carved in my Dremel
tool...I since then purchased a Sherline lathe setup.
There is over 500 hours of work in there.

It has won the "Best in show", "Best motorcycle", "Best engine" and
"People's choice" awards at last November's "Globe 25 Grand National
model contest" in Montreal, Canada.
I am now currently working on a 1/87 scratchbuilt ship (a 165 ft
freighter) ...you're going to love this one ! Weathering and
all...should be done by January 2006
