I got a TV stand and cabniet that I keep them in. I built some of those with my bare hands. Took 6 hours to build one of those Hemi motors. I built a Charger, Jaguar S-type, S2000. Only problem is I HATE plastic models, and its hard to find any metal kits of cars I already don't have lol. Throw in most kits are 1:24 scale, and I want 1:18. lol. I also have a shitload of motor bikes too.

If I had room I would start building plastic air planes though.Got a lot more pics of different cars...I'll post more if wanted lol.

how long has it been since you have been outside?

bdr_ws6

Whats that supposed to mean?


If you think I built all those, I didn't. Most of mine come preassembled. I have built maybe 5 of what you see there.

Clear helps a lot, I painted what I could with a can. The pewter paint was a pewter metallic duplicolor automotive paint. It cam out pretty good though after a few coats.

You basically have to piece out everything. Prime it and let dry, paint it and let dry, clear it and let dry, I did that for every piece in the whole model. it took a long time. I put the decals on after like the "ram air" and corner lenses, then cleared over that too.

I wasted way too much time on it.

I always though Diecast collecting was a cool hobby. I haven't found to many metal kits that you assemble, well atleast ones that take more than an hour. I gotta cool blue Chevelle like the 68 Camaro I posted that I put together.

Once and a while when I'm out I'll grab a new model to put on the wall if it's really cool.

My wife purchased one from walmart and assembled it for me as a gift.

Thats how I done. I got where I would get 1 car a month..maybe 2. I started ording from special places, now I am just out of room. I have plans laid out to add 8 shelves to my TV stand...giving 32 spaces for store them, and I have 16 waiting for those spots lol.

Metal kits aren't very popular. Only ones I find now are those stupid rapper style cars with 60000" wheels or the ricers. ha oh well.

I have built one of those Trans Ams too, but mines metal. Its black and I tinted the windows in it. I don't like it too well, cause I have a LT1 and all the diecast I can find are of the LS1....ripped off again haha.

Where did you find that Diecast LS1 TA model you assembled?

bdr_ws6

Wal mart years ago. Its made by TESTORS in their 'hot metal' line. I know this cause I use the cover for a picture here on the wall, well mom put it up. It came pre-painted but its a bare body, so you can change it I guess. I got 2 of them, ones black and ones the 30TH car, I had to paint the wheels blue on that one though to make it more realistic.

I'll try to get some pics later when I can.

I picked up that one in Carlisle PA at a big car show. It's actually got skinny's and slicks on it and a cage. It's kinda neat I'll have to look who makes it.
