Another Hobby of Mine~very Pic Heavy!!!

Here are some pics of model kits I have built in the past. These are plastic unbuilt kits, not diecast  pre-assembled cars. I did all the paint, assembly, and decal work.
Unfortunately I haven't done any kits in a long time and had to sell off most of my collection.
At one time I had a collection of over 500 kits, both built and waiting to be built. I also had a large collection of collectible old kits that were kept sealed for value.
Hope you enjoy the pics.

Outstanding work. But i could not help but chuckle when i saw "Ward Burton's" car. All i could think about when i was that was how every weekend i would wait in anticipation to see how he was going to take his own car out. Granted he didn't have an accident every weekend, it just seemed like it.

Great job on the decals & the cars as a whole.

When I was younger and had more steady hands I used to put model cars together. I once put a 64 Impala together that I bought a "hydraulic kit" for. That was really cool lol. Did you paint all of these?

Yep, I did all the work to them. I liked to buy aftermarket decals that were never available in a store bought kit and build the cars using them....especially after the manufacturers had to stop including beer and tobacco sponsors in the kits.

Very nice. I dabbled in the plastic kits and then went with the die cast ones. In the future I'll probably get back into doing the plastic kits. They are definitely labor & detail intensive, but your options with them are limitless.

There are some people that opt to change the finish product of a store bought diecast using paint and aftermarket decals. I'm not sure if it's because they aren't confident, patient, or talented enough to do a plastic kit.
I never had an inclination to even buy a diecast instead of a plastic kit. Not even the diecast-plastic hybrids that are out there.

Just so you enjoy yourself. Geat looking cars.
