I haven't built a model in probably 10 years or more. I used to love building them, nothing fancy or detailed, but they were good enough to amuse me.
I have a few unbuilt kits, but these days, my hands don't work so well with the small parts. I guess too many years of abuse from the real thing has caught up with me. From time to time, I drag them back out and spend a week or so proving to myself I can no longer do them.

Occasionally a local model club has a show. Years ago I hauled in a lot of the odd box parts and some of the old models I had and sold them off. When I hear about their show early enough I try to attend, the detail those guys are building to now is amazing. I still love the models, I just can't build them anymore. Gene

Some very nice builds. up
I think my first build was at age 10 of a Hemi under Glass. Been building ever since.

All my kits are still packed up after moving last December. I'm in the middle of oh, half a dozen or so with about 25-30 more waiting. shocked
One of my kits is a resin '65 Valiant I'm building a replica of my first car with. Another is a '69 Corvair I put on a Chevelle frame. Tribute car of one a good friend had. Finished other than paint. Maybe I'll dig them out this fall. wink

Once again thank you all for sharing. I appreciate it greatly up gtx6970 I have never seen or knew they made that translucent Big John Mazmanian model. Incredible

Sunroofcuda that Roadrunner reminds me of the car I had the opportunity to buy back in the late 80's. Same color. The 1:1 had a 383, 4 speed with that awesome coyote duster aircleaner. My dad wouldn't front me the $800 asking price as he said I would kill myself in it. Alas I got a 74 Vega. shruggy

Very cool. I haven't built a model in years. I suck at painting also. Last "models" I built were ERTL 1:18 1971 Barracuda and 1970 Challengers that I Dremel'ed the top of off and painted FE5 and EW1 to match mine at the time.

Wow, you guys do outstanding work...

..yeah, I spend time building WW2 aircraft kits in the winter time, unless I am too busy with cars...

Usually I lean towards 1/72 scale.. but I upgraded to 1/32 and invested in an airbrush - best thing I ever did...
My first airbrush work was with this German Junkers Ju-88 dive bomber for an exhibit at our local aviation museum..

Fun stuff..

Yikes - warbird detailing makes model car detailing look quick & easy.
Some really nice work from you guys, thanks for posting.
One of these days I want to finish a 1/32 Stuka I started decades ago, and hang it from the ceiling in a dive...
Gotta build a big spray booth for it first.
