Any model car builders on here?
 

I figure because we are car nuts some of you have built some models ill post mine in a little bit

Yes...but the best 1/24 models I've built need a bit of touch up work before I post pics. I've got a '71 365 GTB/4 Daytona a Ferrari F50 an EB110 and a nice Viper GTS coupe concept car that I built about 5-6 years ago. I just haven't had the time recently to do that sort of work. All the same, the next time I'm home I'll be happy to post some pics (hopefully I can do some quick repair-work before I take any pics though hehe).

yea
i'm building a DC5 ITR and the toyota 'sillycar' atm. i usually build for friends so my work ain't here to show

my model building heyday was mostly about war machines and shit (i was that kind of kid) but in my early teens i really really got into building cars and stuffing em with cool trinkets and things. just like how you see the mexicans in the southern california and texas and stuff, fitting lights and "miniature hydraulics" to model cars and trucks. that really used to be a big thing in my neighborhood those days. the best one i did was a dodge ram that i spray painted gold and put lifts for the front and rear axles. i also tore apart very small radio and put the reciever and channel changer in teh cabin of the truck, and carved a foam housing for the speaker and put it in the truck bed and covered it with a glossy gold colored bed lid. that was THE shit. my other noticables were classic 55 and 57 chevy coupes that i tried to make look hoodlum with silver and blue paint schemes and shit. but the sad part is i have no fucking idea where all these models went. they were either stolen or got trashed in the moving process a couple years ago. damn. now that i think about it i miss those damn things

My dad is planning on photographing his collection of 1/43 models. Maybe I could post some here. When that is gonna be, I don't know...

I'm not good enough to build them. Of course I did some airplanes and 1 car (a Diablo in 1/24) when I was a kid, but since then I haven't done it anymore.

i dunno but i build RC cars... could say they are models which move :P but yeh i love em something to do in some spare time! :!:

hey stradale, what car is that in ur sig??? ferrari..?

Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 stradale

what brand is the tipo 33 TT? I'd love to find one and build it :-)

thats the real thing in the sig not a toy model

i don't think one exist for building tho

So when do you think any of you car buds will post pictures up of your models, and work in progress buds.

I have a 1/10 scale Nitro Vauxhall Astra Touring car capable of 60mph. It's a hoot to play with and the bonus is that it needs looking after as much as a real car. I have to service it after using it a. Replaced all the fuel lines the other day as they has got a few holes in and were letting in air.

Yesterday I did probably one of the biggest mistakes of my life LOL.. I bought a Tamiya 1/24 model.. the ones you have to build.. last time I did that was 10 years ago.. and I was never able to do one proprely.. lack of concentration and wanting to complete them quickly...

But well... after the Enzo ride, I wanted to commemorate that someway.. so I bought a red Ferrari Enzo..

Sadly right when I was shooting the pics, the Ferrari decal on the engine head popped up a little bit.. now it's back ok, but I didn't realize it while taking the pics.. still.. I think my skills improved in the last 10 years LOL.. and my patience too :D

Looks good TT. Make sure you keep us updated as you go :wink:
