as you may or may not have found out, wal-mart stopped selling models. it was discussed ad nauseum on scaleautomag.com...
kmart pulled them, then decided since wal-mart was going to stop that they would offer a limited (very limited) assortment of models and supplies. your best bet is to find a local hobby shop (LHS) that you can buy models from. also, eBay has every conceivable car available. there are other online supply sites where you can get the consumables (paint, glue, etc).
i got into it very heavily after i bought a model on a whim several years ago. i recently (last year) completed the car and it's an award winner, so i am hooked. also, the same principals that apply to real world cars apply to models. they get primered, body filled, high build primer, paint and clearcoat. so i am keeping up on the skills i learned both in school and at the body shop where i interned for a while last year. i've completed several versions of camaros in all generations, and am looking forward to completing a very custom second generation camaro that has required a lot of modification. it'll be done soon.
i've also done all six generations of corvette, fords, mopars and even a PT cruiser i picked up online for a song. i have dabbled in all types of custom rods like a '66 lowrider riviera, '53 flip-nose ford pickup, '67 dodge coronet, '71 cuda, to name just a few. i have about 40 unbuilt cars that will last me for some time to come. then i guess i'll be back on eBay...
