HobbyNutModels

Its the first annual Memorial Day Weekend Sale at HobbyNutModels.com! Over 100 select in-stock kits are on sale for three days only. Please come visit and shop around! Click Here!

I just wanted to add that I have gotten in well over 100 new/used (NOS) car models in the last few weeks! Come check out my store! You can click on either "Plastic Models" or "Previously Owned" to get to them. https://www.hobbynutmodels.com/

Right now in Middle Tennessee area, the two hobby shops are not geared toward plastic modelers, I am online only right now, but I stock more than both others put together. I do have plans to open a retail store in 2022, but online sales will be the primary business with the store secondary. I have been consulting with a few hobby shop owners that went out of business in the past, and I am trying to learn from their wisdom. The world is a different place and traditional hobby shops die out because they operate on principles of a pre-online world. I am trying to be smart on what is necessary to compete, so far I am surviving, growing, and sticking to a plan.

Right now it’s online only, my business license does not allow any visitors, however I will be opening a new retail location in early 2022.

I’ll shamelessly self promote my store, www.hobbynutmodels.com I am a small growing business, I do this full time, not a second job for me. I carry both new and used model kits, I sell all the major kit manufacturers, Salvinos JR, Tamiya, Fujimi, Aoshima, Round 2, Moebius, AMT, ROG, Rev-Monogram, and a few more. I often bring things in from Europe or Asia for some harder to find kits in the US such as Aoshima and Fujimi. I also carry a full line of auto detailing accessories including, Gofer, Scale Motorsports, Detail Master, KA Models, Ken’s, MCG, Parts by Parks, and I just got in a shipment of Pro-Tech this morning. I also get NOS and open box used kits in every week, I have over 50 kits I will be adding to my inventory over the next couple weeks. I check every open box kit and inventory all the pieces, if any have issues I will take a picture and include it in the listing. I also offer a “finder” service for especially hard to find kits. I set up a special link that gives anyone on this forum a 10% discount, I would appreciate if you would at least take a quick look. https://www.hobbynutmodels.com/discount/MCMF10

Thanks!

I got it to to running and driving, but had to sell it when I moved, another guy painted it and finished it. Yes, it was an F5.

The white dart was a project just to have a driver while I was working on the 68.

Thank you!

Thank you! I built and painted everything on that car myself, took 8 years.

Sadly, no. I had to sell my toys when we moved from TX to TN a couple years ago, and my knee and back just don’t allow me to build the 1/1 cars anymore. But the great thing about models, you can have many dream cars!

Yes, that would work! Same wheels! I didn’t realize they made a model of that Mustang, thanks!

Hello everyone, I am wanting to build my old car as a 1/25 th scale replica. I have the Revell Kit I need, but I can’t find the wheels and I need a lead on where to look, what kits might have had these wheels. The wheels were 94-2000 series Mustang bullitt style, 17x8 front and 17x10 rears. We’re there any kits done that had wheels like these I can use as a donor?

They look amazing, are you going to build his earlier 70’s cars?

Wow, beautiful paint and interior.

Oh, I almost forgot, this is the 1/1 scale projects I build when I was not modeling. And some of the other cars I had built/bought new.

Hello all, this was my last build, in 1999 when this kit first came out. This car was specifically my dream car, actually, I had three dream cars at the top of my list, 71 Charger, 70 Super Bee, and 68 Dart...more on that later. When I was younger I built a mix of models from Tanks, to Airplanes, to Cars. When I got into my 20’s I stopped building to take up flying airplanes, working in the Aviation industry, and playing with real cars. Then, 20 years ago, I started getting back into modeling and turned that in to a part time business building custom Diecast police cars for police departments, I was making custom decals, resin parts, etc. I took on a couple partners, one of which stole my resin molds and masters, and started selling them as his own. At that point I stopped with that business and went to do commission plastic models, this was one of the ones I actually built for myself, since then I stopped building because I was very busy after 9/11 working with the Army as engine logistics warehouse manager (CIV) during OIF and OEF for the Kiowa. Later as the helicopter was retired, I started doing other things for other military engine programs, and as time freed up, I got back into modeling. I left that job and got back into the hobby doing commission work and selling models, last year I opened HobbyNutModels.com, but I have been building military models, but the itch to get back to cars is strong, I am deciding what to make my first build getting back in, I have a 1/24 Tamiya Lotus 7, a Tamiya FXX, and maybe a Salvinos Petty Car. It’s hard deciding, I may start all three. Anyway, here is my 71 Charger, the wheels broke off a few times since 1999, and the mirrors were lost, but the kit faired fairly well, I will hunt around for some mirrors and maybe throw a coat of 2K clear on it to restore it.

Hello everyone! I just wanted to do a little self promotion for my web store. I am a model builder for the past 44 years, and building the occasional commission model since 2001. My business background was selling military aircraft parts to the US Government, working at a BIG defense contractor full time, managing the Kiowa helicopter engine program contract for the Army during the Iraq and Afghanistan war, and later working with the USAF on their T-38’s. Last year I left my job and went into the modeling hobby full time building commission models and selling on eBay, recently I leveraged all my past modeling and business experience and started my own shop, HobbyNutModels.com I sell both new and used models, and stock most. I sell all the current major brands including Tamiya, AMT, Mobius, Revell, Monogram, and also import Aoshima and Fujimi from Japan. I also sell detailing accessories for 1/24 and 1/25 models, and I will soon be stocking Salvinos JR Nascar models. Speaking of Nascar, I have a large stock of discontinued Nascars from the 80's and 90's, most are still sealed in plastic (I let you know in the description). I sell detailing items from PbP, Detail Master, Gofer, and I'm soon getting ProTech also. If you are looking for something, contact me and I can order it for you.
