Here it is, my Furuta Nissan 350Z. No big changes, just repainted, added exhausts of solder wire and changed the rims (Euromodell Porsche). Note the front turnsignals made of decals (thanks for the tip Chester )

Exquisite Eric. The finish is beautiful and I do believe those amber lights to be very realistic. Really first class. Now tend to that workbench top!

Nice. Unbelievable how little it took to turn it into such a nice model. Of course, a paint job that nice isn't so easy for all of us.

Thanks Chester, I think the turnsignals turned out nice too ! As for the workbench top, nothing that a little sanding won't fix. I use a piece of aluminium (4mm thick) as a kind of protection of the wooden desk I work on, that's what you see in the picture.

Looks beauty your Nissan, Eric! And what a good idea to use decals for the turnlights. I have a lot of patches to make it too in any colour

Every now and then I do get things done, here are two pictures of my version of the Mercedes G-Mog, a combination of Brekina Unimog chassis, Roco wheels and Herpa Mercedes G.

Dear Eric:
Is this a Monster Truck or is used for something else?
Nice and interesting rendition.

The prototype is a complete Unimog underneath - not (only) good for posing, but for real work.

Time to show off some new stuff... almost finished (except for the doorhinges and an antenna) is this small Renault meattruck. It is based on a Roco model, the body is Evergreen, the rear-bumper is photo-etched metal over Evergreen. Also nearly finished, two MAAG Mercedes trucks in Bundeswehr green. The tarp on the covered truck is made from paper soaked in white glue, both models were weathered with Tamiya's weathering powders and diluted India ink. Last one for now is this Schuco T-bird which has had it's interior painted and Herpa rims and Preiser/Wiking figures added. Comments welcomed as always !

I really like the look of that tarp, very realistic. Looks like a nice day for the top down on the T-Bird.
