Models
 

Does anyone else like building them? I was happy today cuz the guy at my local hobby store had a 91 firebird kit =) so I picked that up, can't wait to get back from the Chatterbox to start it! I also got an engine model kit for the corvette 327 chevy small block.

i love to look at nice models ... :nod:

alex builds them, i wouldnt have the time, but now that u mention it, im gonna see what the local walmart as tonight

I did use to build them when I was a kid. Usually did Nascar stock cars and military aircraft. Dunno what ever happened to all the ones i did

I'd rather work on the real thing

i used to do them all the time, i actually have a 99 t/a im building now on and off when i have the time, lol

Building R/C cars count?

I'm a huge fan of Revelle/Monogram brand models because they are a good price, and probably one of the higher quality manufacturers that you can pick up anywhere.

Model cars are the about the only cars I can successfully put together! :lol:
Right now I'm putting together a LS1/T56 1st Gen Camaro car, and a 1995 Z28 replica of my own car. I sorta half finished a 4th Gen Camaro LM Race car but when the body work didn't line up I kinda gave up.

And be unoriginal? Enjoy! I like to use my imagination & creativity.

last project...http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k1...erf38/brad.jpg


current project...http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k1...8/IMG_2642.jpg

and alot like your models my cars came in a box of misc parts some even with instructions waiting to be assembled, just they were made in the 60's. its so much fun being able to make it look how ever you want and knowing you turned every nut and sprayed every drop of paint.

i think i got the last 99 firebird model...im workign on right now. its kinda dumb because it has single exhaust....and small wheels....not exactly a ws6 but im going to try to make it as close to my car as possible.

i bought this model on ebay for like 15 bucks...and i remember i had made one like 7 years ago it was so crappily put together lol.

did u get the 91 at hobby town? does it happen to be yellow with a bird on the hood and it is the tear drop hood? lol

I have trillions of them sitting in boxes that I never got around to. Maybe some day I'll build some of them. I should probably sell some off though, as I know a lot of them are discontinued and hard to find.

I have one actually.

from way, way before my car years, ironically enough.

it's a....

*goes to other side of room and checks*


revell snaptite '93 z28

snaptite=n00b models lol

i have one of the sr71 blackbird jet haha

I used to buy several cars and build custom bodies and interiors. I would use an old iron to heat the plastic enough to bend it to meet different body lines. Or better yet, take a built car and put the whole thing in an old toaster oven puch in the body to make it look like it's been in a wreck. Even got a little creative with rust ans scuff paint jobs. Mmmmmmmmmm melting stuff. :rolleyes:

Just got to be sure to do it outside.

i've always tried to do models but i never finish them

just sold off an 87 GN on ebay for like $20 its amazing what people pay for those things...... on the other hand i have a 92 z28 in the box still that i may sell soon along with my johnny lightning and die cast cars......

I was liek 5 or 6 when I got i lol. Never finished it... I probably lost/broke a bunch of peices

idk the stores name but yes yellow and a bird and my hood

I have a few model cars, I actually have the yellow 91 Firebird sitting in my closet, never got a chance to start it. I like the 1/18th scale cars a little better though.

I noticed on ebay now they are selling 1/18th scale GTA's. They have a TTA, as well as a red or black TPI GTA.
