ERIK88

most of my models have been from ebay

haha yea

You really make a point there, even though I am only 25 It really does make you think. I think it was very nice and generous for "Sarge" to have given away his stash to people who really would have enjoyed it. Im sure it would have brought him joy and happiness instead of just having them sit, collect dust or even worse get thrown away like many of my models did when I moved out of the house. It amazes me how many non modeler people just throw models out, or categorize it as "junk", and just throw stuff out like they are toys. I think I would have done the same as sarge and pass my models on to friends of the hobby and family members as well if they portrayed an interest in model building.

I think those are Volk wheels, I have seen a pair of those same white ones on Amazon.com for $12. I dont know if they are the same models or they might have just came with the kit.

Cool , my cousin used to own a 63 olds holiday super 88. It was purple with flakes and purple velvet low rider interior, dual exhaust , chrome Dayton's. those were good times, i used to cruise with him listening to oldies, and some rap like kid frost or lil rob lol. He used to be in a lowrider club, and i came across many impalas and cutlass lowrider owners. One guy had a 49 chevrolet fleet line or "bomba" as some may call it, it was candy apple red with gold Dayton's, that thing was beautiful man , but I'm sure it's worth at least $40,000 -$50,000. That is one of my dream cars along with the 59 impala.

That is one nice skyline, wow beautiful

nice model ,like the detail. ver convincing

I know how that is sometimes... and U kno what sucks when youre in those situations? you come across the best deals or that model you've always been looking for for a real nice price! lol

Haha that is too funny !

Yea but tamiya makes a lot of Asian vehicles , wish they made muscle cars lol, but I kno that won't ever happen. There are a few modern cars I like I guess, but I don't like how they end up looking like toys more than a nice looking realsticr muscle car, mayb e that's just me. And I can always get a replica of those tamiya models in 1:18 scale die cast . But I do like the subarus, supras, skylines they have. I will be making a purchase and getting the Nissan skyline from the early 90s they have

Ron o , wow thats funny man. Yea ive never gave motorcycles a shot either, I wonder how they would be.

nice model ,I have three of these . I will be making mine candy apple red hertz rent a car.

oh ok sounds good , will have to give one a shot someday.

I know Tamiya is a very well known company that produces high quality models. I have never bought a kit from them, i've always bought AMT, REVELL, Lindberg, and MPC. I have been curious to build one however, but often ask myself if the expensive price on them can be justified by the quality of the models?. Is it true some of them do not have motors or much detail?

I was just wondering if there is anyone else out there weird like me. I often run short on supplies like paint or basic stuff lol because I find myself buying too many models for extremely good prices. They often are very rare, out of production older models. I unfortunately don't get too build many, and postpone until I have money dedicated just for supplies, but once again always see a good deal. looks like Im going to have a huge collection soon, and collect them more than build em' lol. Kinda sucks cause I really enjoy building as well, but I cant stop the bug... just one more kit... lol is what I always tell myself. Do any of you guys have the same problem? It just feels euphoric stepping into your closet or hobby room and seeing a whole collection of models, in which you might have always wanted in the past. I dont regret buying any model, besides the atm nascars I used for practice when I got back to the hobby.

I need to buy more supplies like paint than models lol. But nice collections.

Well i got the street machine super set for 35 , and another MC aeroback for my collection for $14. I am very happy to have found the monte carlo. I have 3 now along with #3 aeroback nascar, and afraid to build them cause I want to build up enough skill.

nice paint job , nice looking modell

Nice, i like clean lowrider ,man . U did a excellent job, i build all my lowriders clean not too much on em like you. Too much on em , and they start too loose style and class lol.

This is a amt kit right? Im always afraid of buying more modern era kits because some of them are not depicted very well and look more like toys than a real one , But this is a excellent car, well built , and very realistic looking. Now im not so afraid of buying more modern muscle .

interesting take on this model. I had a thunderbolt model, I never really liked the styling, but you made it look nice. Who would ever think of making a lowrider out of this?lol. ( I almost didn't click on this thread either lol) glad i did

I think its a very nice build. The paint job is very 90s lol, or at least it reminds me of some styles like that growing up.

Lucky, I often have to go on ebay to buy mine at bargain prices

I wouldn't spend more than $25 on a kit that's if it was out of production , I'm still stuck i my teen years when a model was $10 in early 2000s and u still were able to get at wal mart
