Tomr88's model vehicles - made to order

[TomR88]

Hi,

 

Thought i would show some pictures of some models i have and some which have been modified to order for some of my friends. 

 

I mainly specialise in 1/18 scale models and 1/32 farm vehicles. Please see some pictures of some of the past models I have modified.

 

Let me know what you think.

Very tidy TomR88 - think you've put up the wrong picture for Scania R

 

We used to get custom scale models done of all our client trucks in their liveries but it got very expensive to do.

They look fantastic.

Could I have a guide on price please? (BMW M5)

PM me if you prefer.

Cheers, Joe

Edit, I've just read this properly and it doesn't appear they are for sale. Sorry!

They look fantastic.

I can certainly get these models.

The m5 in that colour is roughly £120 but there dark blue version you can pay anything between £180 - £220.

I have another rs500 which I bought damaged so will probably dismantle or turn into a diorama of some sort.

The mk1 and mk2 focus rs are both for sale and had minor tweets to them.

Are these kits you modify from the original?

[Wardy]

They look good, but as gadgetman asks - what's your base/starting point for these?

[TomR88]

Basically I buy them as ready assembled models or code 3 (damaged/modified) and take them apart, repaint, detail interiors and exteriors and rebuild.

I do modifications such as mudflaps, lower,paint interiors, add extra small details such as engine parts number plates etc.

I like to make them as realistic as possible and what i would do and I go by pictures of the real thing.

I have just bought another rs500 and plan to remove front plastic grille and replace with see through mesh, add new intercooler and pipes, detail underneath car and fit new brakes.

Looks good, not a bad price tbh. Got a friend who builds from scratch (even makes the moulds for the models) and its over double that cost!

I would like to make my own custom parts but having a 9 month old doesn't give me much free time to do it.
