Well, after years of hoping, I finally tracked down a kit for a model I have wished for since seeing the 1965 movie, “The Great Race”; Professor Fate’s “Hanninbal 8”!

Now, thanks to Mike Scott of Fate Model Works, the dream will become a 1:18 scale reality...

A rather rare BBR Audi Project Rosemeyer found its way into my collection today, thanks to the generosity of a good friend.

I just collected a rare model from Japan (many thanks again to bestkit.jp), a pearl white Toyota 2000GT Roadster by Make Up Co., Ltd.

I now have one of Make Up Co's Lamborghini Countach QV's and as always, it is up to Eidolon's usual excellent standard.

This one was a toss–up between the metallic red and their pearl black version. The metallic red won, but only just...

Now here is a good score!
I have just secured a 1903 Cadillac Model A 4-Seat by EMC, finished in burgundy with red upholstery.

All I have to do now is track down their red and black 2-seater Runabouts...

who I am...

I am nobody special, living in a little place at the bottom of the World, called New Zealand. I lurk on various forums, usually under the guise of “Jono” or “GTAV6”.

I also trade a little on eBay as “the.x.man”, which happens to be my web design moniker, as well.
