Hi there fellow modellers it's been a year since I was last on here (posting a finished pic of my last build, a packard victoria) and now again I'm going for another classic vintage car...The stylish jaguar ss100. My kit is an old matchbox model & like my last packard victoria it's 1:32 scale.

I love these old kits which are from the 50's, 60's or 70's. If feel as though they have been left abandoned for all these years & someone needs to use them for what they where made for! So folk like me (& you) come along & give them the build, paint & love they need


I'm going to paint it up with more of a stylish classic look (as in the pic above of the real jaguar). That white body with red leather interior really gets me!

Going to follow this build Bobby, love the old Jags.

Thanks tommy1drop hoping it all goes well...white paint jobs are often dangerous lol (dirty fingers and all that). I have a few planned changes too (parts I may need to make myself)

Hi Bobby, Nice one!


Going to follow this one, I'm really interested!


I have another old matchbox on my stash, that I'm doing some "modifications" to create a Steampunk vehicle

With a little bit of no sleep & a little bit of work this morning I've started to paint some of the kit

Nice model.


Matchbox did a nice MG TF in the same scale. You can still get Matchbox kits if you troll ebay, but they are becoming pretty scarce unmade. Here is one if you fancy paying the shipping.

I've fired ahead today and completed the car base, engine & wheels. And put them together. To be honest I was a bit lazy & didn't want to put to much detail into the engine (eventually after complete photos I will glue the body hood down & the engine will be covered).


Popped the body on there for a quick look & photo....All going well.
