Title: Anyone here do models?
Post by: JUNK-MAN on June 24, 2015, 01:04:10 PM

Any of you guys like to work on model cars? If you do post up some pics of your projects your probably alot better than me!

Here are some pictures of my finished builds I have about 20 others started but only have these 2 finished:

Nice work!

I don't do model cars, but I've done a few planes and spaceships.

In years gone by I spent some time and some money trying to do models, but most of them weren't interested in being done by me.

Nice work!  With the right background it would take a keen eye to tell they're models.  The Dart looks an awful lot like a '76 Volare I had - same color!
I have done up a few Hot Wheels/Matchbox to look like cars or trucks I've owned.  Maybe I'll get some pics up.

While this may seem off topic remember there were a LOT of neat old tools that went into creating these.  This is a penchant with me - to collect Matchbox size models of vehicles I've owned (and paint them accordingly). 
My first car - 1963 Pontiac Grand Prix...

And my all-time favorite vehicle now rusting into oblivion in my back yard - 1970 Dodge D100...
