I thought the original HL controversy was them denying their workers contraceptives through their Health care provided by hobby lobby? And most of the Religious stuff I found was in the woodworking sections. I could build a house made of crosses from what they had. But I justst wanted wooden letters for a chest thing.

I'd imagine the Tony Stewart models would be somewhat valuable. And that Earnhardt Senior car is probably a very desired kit. I know people that would pay 500+ dollars for a nicely done 3 car. Diecast mdels of them are easy to come by, but earnhardt collectors would die for a plastic model done nicely.

I love Jags in general. And I love this. I like the wheels, they teming me of some aftermarket rim I can't remember the name of. It's either Lowerhart or Konig. But seriously, that green.

Sorry, another double post, this mobile site is kinda akward and is ticking me off.

Thank you guys for all the help and advice. I can see now that paint will be my biggest challenge. I'm still not completely sure on a kit, as some have said the Tamiya models are easier than the American models like Revelle and Monogram. I'll pick up sand paper, tweezers, and other little tools like that. I'll head up to reno and carson for some stuff, and seeing as we're going to be in Boise next week, I'll hit the Hobby Town USA. It's cool to see a community like this on the internet, and I'm excited to wade into deeper waters of hobbying. I've done Rc cars, slot cars, planes, boats, and some other stuff, but as far as artistry and time goes, this seems to be the hardest. And since some of you seem to have been involved in the Northern Nevada hobby scene, do any of you know Stan Lattin? First Place Race Raceway and/or the lexan body painting business? And I'll practice with some hobby paint on some old toys laying around. I found some metallicy graphite color I like and am going to practice with the airbrush and paint thinning stuff. But it's already pretty watery. Thanks again, and I hope to be working on something soon!

Sort of double post. . , c. ,.

Sorry for uncertainty. I meant I can't buy from off here or international. I might be able to sway their opinions but for now I'm stuck to U.S. Sorry for the confusion, didn't mean to start a passive aggressive flame war.

And should this cart be good? I have exacto knives, masking , face masks, a spray gun, air compressor, just about everything I think I need. (Pics might not work, if not, I'll link you to photobucket, the 2mg limit is not agreeing with my overly hd camera, and the post might not make sense, it was thrown together in an off and on manner over a time frame of half an hour)

So I did a little searching, Aoshima releases the wheels I want around late August/early September. And the trade section here would probably be a no go. Parents aren't all on board with forum sales. And Harry P, I'm a minor, turning fourteen on the 25th. They don't like ordering out of the U.S. for some reason, and as I said earlier, don't really like the idea of forum sales. I asked mainly because you guys have been in it so long and I figured you guys would know the best stores. I think I'll go for a cheaper kit, the Tamiya Mugen CRX. Should be what I want, and I'll work my way up to the Legacy. It costs more, so with my lack of money, screw ups cost more.

Edit, scratch out Spot Model, they're British. I'm American, I'd rather order from American companies.

So I have built other models before, both glue bombs that I was ahamed to look at. But I'm looking to get into it as a hobby and build cars I like. I'm not exactly into classic cars much anymore unless it's a Datsun, Skyline, or Jag, and I like the tuning side of cars. Stuff like Brz's and its sisters and Nissans (fanboy much? I know.) So I would like to airbrush, since I already have a kit, and I want to make the builds MINE. I don't want to have bone stock, I want enough unused parts at the end of a couple of builds to create a whole new car. So as I looked around, I was wondering about a couple of things. 1. Where should I start? A kit from Wal-Mart? (Ours carries revelle and monogram, plus a selection of testors paint that bores me to death.) I have a kit I want and stuff I want with it. 2. Where should I order from? Ive been looking at Hobbylinc, Spot model, and Amazon. 3. How do I do this on a budget? I can't legally get a job and people refuse to hire me after a recent pedophilia/rape incident within the community. So people won't even let minors mow their lawn, and they don't want to look "pedophily" (as a neighbor called it) I see how much you liad into a build and whoah. 4. Places to get little parts. Stuff like wheels, decals and other tidbits (seats, harnesses, rollbars, interior). I like to add little touches to things. So I was looking at the Aoshima Subaru Legacy GT and couldn't really find a good place for wheels. Some places seem to have stretch tires but no rims in the right size. And where can I find some Gosh Darn Work TE-37 rt wheels? They seem to be gone, everywhere I look. Thanks in advance.

@Dyno, we have exacto knives. Masking and cutting tape on bodies made for lots of used up blades and even once, a broken handle. I'm going to be building lot's of stuff like Nissans, Scoobies and Toyotas; so from what I can tell, I'm going to be dealing with Aoshima and Tamiya quite a bit. It's nice having a place like this, I'm glad I found it!

It's crazy. He'd spend 40+ hours on a higher priced body. I can spray with rattle cans very well and on a bmx bike frame, and from when I start to strip the paint to the time the paint is ACTUALLY dry and cured, two or three months have gone by. And paint stripper, uhg. Wear thick gloves. Not thin doctor type ones. Learned that the hard way.

I saw above about someone and lexan rc bodies, my dad had a business selling those and it'd be funny when someone came up to him after seeing some of his best on the internet, and ask, "How much for something like this?" (Picture on phone, faded gold to silver with tiger stripes) and he said "$100, on a six month waiting list." He was great at what he did, bit it was darn pricy. We still have a "Prowler" body that's a replica of the monster jam truck. Apparently they're pretty rare.
