Just wondering if anyone else on here builds plastic scale model cars?

I've been building models off and on for most of my life. I stopped building in 2001 when my daughter was born, but I started back up a couple years ago.

Here'* a few that I've built in the last couple years.

'72 Grand Prix,

'94 Toyota Supra,

'06 Mustang,






Here'* a link to pics of the rest of my model cars,

BTW, these are all 1/24 or 1/25 scale plastic models.

Did you paint those yourself? I collect 1:18 scale cars myself.

Yes, I did all of the paint and assembly.

The paint is amazing on all of them. The only problem with doing metallic on model cars is the size of the flake isn't proportional to the rest of the car. They should make a special model car metallic.

That'* what I use, The sunlight and the pics kind of exaggerate the metalflake a bit, but it'* still a little out of scale.

Thanks!

wow those interiors are sick. very nice work.

God, those cars.. the work done..

That camaro and the supra are my favorites..

i have a GMC s10 i've been working on on and off for the past year or so.. i've also got a testors nissan mid4 that i wanna put together but i don't have the patience or the fine hand to paint most of the small SMALL stuff..i'm decent but not like that, wow.

Thanks for the kind words guys!

I go to about 3 or 4 contests a year. I've won a few awards. I still have yet to win a 1st place trophy for my models, usually 2nd or 3rd.

I do alot of detailing with paint and foil, but most of the guys at the shows go all out and add every single wire and hose in the engine compartment and chassis.

those are pretty sweet!
I've always wanted to get into it myself.

where do you buy the kits?
