Journalists shocked at Korea award

Two leading Formula One journalists have expressed their surprise at Korea being named the best grand prix promoter of the season at the FIA?s annual prize gala in Monaco last Friday. The Korean Grand Prix received the Race Promoters' Trophy despite the event taking place at an incomplete facility with few race fans in attendance and team members and media staying at disparagingly dubbed 'love hotels'. "Korea. Korea? KOREA??!! I must have been somewhere else," said Times correspondent Kevin Eason on Twitter. Daily Mirror journalist Byron Young added, "The Korean GP, complete with event and flight chaos, shoddy hotels and things I won't mention, won the race promotors? trophy. Why?"

POST APOCALYPSE Vehicle Collection

Hello All fellow Model Makers,

I Have been posting the builds of some of these Models in the "HOT RODS & STREET MACHINES FORUM"

However they may be more suited to this Forum considering what I have seen so far.

you guys are building some really nice models !

so I thought you might like to see some of these. they area mix of 1/24 &1/25 AMT & REVELL kits

and one or two full scratch builds like the BUGGY,

it all started when I bought the Aoshima Kit of the Mad Max Interceptor,

I decided the model needed some companions on the shelf !

69 ford gran Torino

39 chevy minus the rear end !

70 challenger,

70 Plymouth Road runner, a lot of plastic went into the roll cage and bumpers on this model !

had this Model  49 Merc sitting in a box with a lot of the parts missing for over ten years !

"thats why the engine has a Cage, I lost the Bonnet !"

this is a Revell 41 Willys Coupe, I love the Chevy Truck from JEEPERS CREEPERS and so I wanted to try something simalar with the coupe,

and Finaly this one is still a work in progress, its a 1/24 Miasto "Metal" 67 mustang

first some rough designs of what it might look like and then the build as it stands so far,

 

Well thats my Collection so far, however I intend to build a lot more !

once the Mustang is finished, I'm going to build my biggest yet, An armoured Big Rig.

well I hope you like the models and they are up to your standard.

I will keep posting more builds on this forum from now on.

and I look forward to seeing other people's great build's

take care and all the best,

Barry.
