I disagree, paint is not the only wow factor, yes, i do nice paint jobs, but this is not what gets me interested in other peoples builds, IMAGINATION is what does it for me, Now, each to their own, but 8/10 builds are BOX STOCK, of factory stock, unfortunately, these are the ones i move on from pretty quickly, there are only so many kits for us to build, and seeing the same kit built the same way 30 times, just does not interest me. Especially being an Aussie, i never grew up with any of these cars, so factory perfect means nothing to me, or really interests me, i figure, like the real world, if factory was so perfect, why do so many people modify their cars, factory has its place, but it is boring too. I really like seeing people experiment, and use their imagination, customizing things, change up the motor, wheels, give it a different color other than factory, ... chop it, change it, let the mind go wild, this is what I call modeling.
