HAHA wow funny!

What a nightmare!!!!!! This is what i would def be afraid of !

Building models for a friend especially 10 or more would feel like I am a machine, or production line worker lol jk. If I was building for a loved one or significant other, then I would definitely put all I have into it and make sure I make the best kit possible!!!!!!!!1

I think much of society has the wrong idea of what building models really involve lol. My dad actually requested me to build a truck for him, (AMT 1957 Cameo). He summoned me to build this car to test how far iv'e come skillwise. He has recently asked me how the truck is coming along, I am not even halfway complete !. It takes patience, time and $$ to build a decent model kit. Besides the initial model car purchase, i think I spend a total of an additional $20-30 for resources utilized to build a decent, not super detailed model kit. Sometimes there are setbacks that can make your current project seem like a chore, when this happens, its best to take a break and work on another model that is currently in a different stage. One model kit on average takes me 3 weeks. If I was asked to build several cars for a stranger or a distant friend,I would almost get insulted lol. I would feel insulted because of the time, patience, determination, resources, and hard work it takes to build a nice kit to just give it away! and not be able to look at your beauty in a display case as many times as you may want!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I should probably not let paint dry on the brushes or get a better brand of thinner

Kleen strip is not wrking for my brushes lol, it just makes them hard and leaves paint in them. Normally if I had restored thinner it will strip out pair immediately. Testors thinner is expensive for what you get. Idk what to do at this point. So gun wash? That's the name of what u use? What is it?

I would like to know what you guys use to clean brushes from enamel paint. I have tried to use wal marts cheap thinner and it has not cleaned them. Is there any other product I can use to strip those brushes of paint and make them useable once again?

That's cool I like fox body mustangs myself wish I had that many copies lol

Haha yea that's funny , hey well thanks u guys for making me feel normal.... I sure thought I was going cuckoo there for a min with my 67 impalas lol

Thats a lot of willys built there lol.

Whoa!!! Lol those are a lot of copies there. U are building an army of 1955 57 Chevy trucks. You've won !! Lol hey you and me should just buy the molds from amt / revell to make our own copy's whenever we please lol. Just buy the entire injection molding machine.

Buy for yourself... sorry for wrng word choice lol. BA in business and a nice job, but lazy when it comes to having to type on a regular forum non work related.

Hi, I was just curious to know whats the most copies of one kit you've guys have bought? . I have now acquired about 5 amt 67 chevy impala kits in my collection, this is one of my favorite cars of all time. it looks good as a stock car, lowrider, pro street,etc. Possibilities are endless. How many copies of one kit do you fellow modelers store in the stash? Are there ever too many copies of one kit? lol ,

your right, street racing is illegal, god bless there were no children or elderly around the area.

thanks! I think regular retail price back in the late 90s for these were 29.99 or so .

JUST got this impala set , I had this same set when I was younger. Love the 67 impala, and all the extra parts included in this set. All for $25!!!!

Nice kit I have this one in the millennium series . Can't wait to build it all black white wide walls. Really nice paint job

Thanks, spend the holiday making this and smoking some BBQ ribs , went to see the fireworks after with my lady here at the Wisconsin lakefront. , feels good being able to finish a model and being able to look at ur wrk in a display. It's probAbly the most rewarding to me, as it reminds me I have sure came a long way since I was a kid building glue bombs lol .

Wow beautiful, nice and clean

Really nice, love it

Nice celica, never have been into tuners but this came out reall good

Nice rat rod , wish they came out with kits like this lol
