Dominik Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) Cool. Love to build "my" owned car. There you have a better chance, to built your used cars. I've built my Porsche: a little bit closer: My dailydriver Honda Shuttle i've also, but no 1:1 picture till yet. Will come up From my other car, a Mercedes C-Class no model exists Edited July 17, 2013 by Dominik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Noob here (but I've been building since '67). Back in the late 1970s I bought an unbuilt Revell '62 Imperial (paid about nine bucks, IIRC) and started work on it. Then after I moved to CA in '81, I bought the real thing: I had it for almost two years until a hit-and-run driver totaled it; during that time I worked more on the kit to make it look like mine including the dull paint and dents. Then it got packed away for thirty years; now I've pulled it out and mocked it up: Mostly what's left to do is the interior (white with black dash and carpet) and some other little details before final assembly. Great topic - keep 'em coming! Edited July 18, 2013 by ChrisBcritter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smellyfatdude Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 This was Mom and Dad's second and last new car, purchased in December of 1960. A ' 61 Pontiac Laurentian (Canadian), six cylinder and three speed. I used an MCW ' 61 Catalina for starters, and a liberal amount of parts from a whole bunch of other kits. The color is Shelltone Ivory, over Dawnfire Mist. The b & w photo is a picture of my Mom, posing with the car the following spring in ' 61. We kept the Pontiac until 1972, and it literally went everywhere, including two trips to the B.C coast. Then Dad no sooner traded it in, and it was purchased by someone who lived two blocks away. So, I got to see it a few times on my way to school that spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromecop Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 So far I've only built a model of one of the 20 cars I've had in full scale.This has been my daily driver since oct 2004. Last oct (2013) I bought a newer one, a 2006 model so I will shortly sell the old one. As You can see, I didn't only make a model of the car, but also of me and my lovely wife! I plan to switch the wheels as I have 18" wheels on the car these days (picture was taken in 2006) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davewilly Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Here is 2 of mine that I have models for. Someday I would like to do one of each of the cars I have owned that there is models for.. 96 Sebring Convertible my 70 Monte Carlo. Had to sell it (the 1:1) before I got it painted though but this was to be the color of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gluebum Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 These are two that I have pictures of the replicas handy. Sorry 1:1 pics long gone. Road Runner is about a 20+ year old build but still holding in there. the Supra was built last year. My Road Runner was actually a 69 and lacked the hemi but this was close enough. Correct colors etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom Mike Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Here's one I just finished recently, a replica of my wife Pam's '94 F-150 XL. I started with the AMT F-150 XLT kit, removed all the side trim, wheel-well trim, and opened up the grille, then snagged the side mirrors from Monogram's F-250 kit. I got the wrong side mirrors, but when I got them, she said they were right...too late now, they're on it! I added a diamond-plate step bumper, hitch, and scratch-made diamond-plate tool box. Oh, and Pam's ever present coffee mug is in the cup holder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOODBANE Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) Here is my 69 GT Torino from High School..... Paint is accurate to the real car. It didnt look like much, but man that car would run. My Samurai.... Not totally accurate to the 1:1 (this one is a convertible, and has BOGGERS) My 1:1 Zuk Currently working on my wifes 84 CJ7 The 1:1 She wanted a JEEP, I was throwing money at my Zuk, so I told her to find her JEEP. Thats what she picked. I want to do one of this truck... My styrene skills aren't good enough to make the body though (84 Ranger). I still own this truck and love it. I put a 347 Stroker, C-6, Dana 20 Transfer case and Explorer axles in it. Lockers front and rear. Edited June 29, 2014 by BLOODBANE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Ellis Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 My first two cars, a 1972 Gran Torino bought in 1975 and then a 1976 Cobra that was bought in 1979. I got a photo of my friends looking at my Cobra and another parked somewhere in West Virginia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High octane Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 While many modelers do, I don't build models of cars & trucks that I have owned or presently own as I have MANY other vehicles that I would like to build instead. As for vehicles I already own, I could just look at the real thing in the garage, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disabled modeler Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Building cars/trucks the family owned is a undertaking I have wanted to do for many years but many of them would be too hard to find/afford...I only have a few so far but plan to build more of them.... 72 Toronado 75 Trans Am 64,68,69,70 Bonneville 64,69,70 Bonneville wagon 69,70 Grand Prix 67,69 Impala wagon 69 Impala HT 66,68 Chrysler 300 HTs 84 Chevy 4x4 long bed 68,70 Cadillac coupes 69 Ambassador 65 Fury HT 66 Buick Skylark HT 67 Chevy Suburban 72?

fitforbattle Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Geez Mark, that's an impressive list. My mom got her drivers license last year so she's only ever owned one car: a '96 Opel Tigra. It's really a Ferrari for mothers. My dad's owned more cars than I have fingers, he's the car enthusiast of the family and the one who got me into cars and model cars. Me myself? Never had the need for a car so I don't have a license. Now this summer, I'll get it though. I need to get out on the streets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLMFAA1 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Here is my replica collection. The Chevelle is the Revell 67 but my mom had a 66 Malibu with Aztec bronze color. The Ramcharger was made out of the MPC pick up and the AMT blazer. The Z 28 is a combination of AMT and MPC Camaros to get the right pieces. The Jeep is MPC OOB with moons and antenna added Working on 66 Chevelle using clip from ElCamino, 1950 Olds fastback (dad's work car) greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
