disabled modeler

I dont know about anyone else but every time I tried to use Krylon spray paint it etched the plastic with or without a prime coat???? So I just stay away from it myself.

I have way too much time to pass so I build as long as I can each day or till I run out of things to do then its back to it the next day....cant even guess how many hours a week I spend doing model related work but I am not complaining one bit. As long as theres something to work on I am at it .

Hi Mike....welcome to the plastic addicts place.

Cool stuff

Nice stash guys...

Nice find there!... A friend of mine had a real one once. Build/rebuild to make yourself happy...but for me it would have to be a factory stock restoration I couldn't modify something like that myself. I believe its a 59 Oldsmobile 4door HT by the looks of it?

Yep...it doesn't take long to build up a good stash of model kits or a collection. Other than for storage issues that might come up if one has a large stash,the good thing is you always have something to pass the time which since my accident I have an abundance of. If one enjoys what their doing and depending on the amount of time one has to pass a large stash can be a good thing. Me I usually build about 2 to 3 a week taking my time with them but I also have the time too. Some special builds do take a lot more time...restorations,conversions,modifying,detailing,etc. but out of the box builds seem pretty quick for me beings I am normally a factory stock builder but do build others as well.

You got some there that should inspire you to build but we all have a personal stash tucked away...its just some have stashed them longer than others and have a few more. I have a large personal stash of my dads old models(most needing parts and or repairs)but someday they will be restored/repaired.

Congratulations Mat and your wife... I wish you both only the best.

I like everything about it George.... Very clean and COOL build!!!!! SWEET!

They all will be in our prayers.

Looks good to me.

Hi Andy!....welcome to the board and sight!

Nice workshop!!!! Your desk wouldn't even fit in mine...LOL...

Pretty cool

Hi Roy.... Thats SWEET!!!! And its great to see you being a caretaker of it. I have my dads old models and am trying to restore them so they will be in the family for a long time to come. I came across a mid 60s GMC 2 ton road tractor body for that scale a few years ago in a box of stuff I found...pretty cool.

I am a 60s guy and I like it,I also live in a model dry town.

Very nice build, I have a rough build up plan on converting into the first movie car(love that one). Great job on yours the weathering looks very realistic!!!

Hi Jake... Very Very nice!!! Hope mine comes out 1/2 as good as yours.

I have saved anything not used for a build for years. I also pick up damaged-junk kits/models for projects or just the parts if there really cheap. Garage sales are a good source of used and sometimes new models or parts. Never know who is going to need what...ya know?

Anything 1960s to mid 70s body style. Wagons,4doors,big full bodied cars.

Hi Jim... I have had it happen too like a lot of us here-I just sit back and think about it for awhile...eventually it will come to you in time. Sometimes to just sit back and look at it from a distance gives you a different perspective of the problem at hand.

Its for sure a Monogram Cuda funny car but cant remember what issue had the blue tinted glass???

Reminds me I need to get some bumpers/grille for my 55 Pontiac Star Chief by Johan, only problem is now you have me wanting to do that too

Cool old box art!...love looking at those old boxes. I use them for storage and wall paper but never cut them up to do it....you take the bottom of the box and push a push pin tack through into the wall and just set the box top on. Makes sweet wall paper or a border around the rooms walls!
