Hello all scale model cars builders. Really guys that every single day I come up with ideas and questions that I hope not to get banned from this forum hahaha. Well guys just wanna open this thread to know what are the best online places to buy kits and tools. I made my first buy from Ehobbies and I think it came out perfect. Thank u plastic lovers and keep on creating.

I guess my question explains some of my doubts. Is it similar to work in a diecast model than in a plastic model? In aspects such as Painting and detailing. Is it possible to make body modifications? With the same tools that use on plastic.

Great tutorial exotic_builds

Ehhh guys I happen to have not enough knowledge (yet) of what and how the firing system works. Can someone explain this to me please so I can start working in detailing my engines. Thank u

hi to all of you masters, newies, and forthcoming builders hahaha. just wanna share what I got today but as a beginner I think I should share some info so you can get an idea about me guys. Well as some of you know from my one of my first threads I recently got my first kit. which I mess up for my not having enough info on modeling and building. so i set my self to gather enough knowledge as to start putting together a kit. Besides that I'm in need of tools to do my builds. So far I got assorted sandpapers,knives, some blades, my tamiya glue, and a couple of paint cans. Sorry I made a big post just to share that today I got what is my first shipment of tools (saw blade and my tamiya paint stand) and also my second kit (Hummer H2) which I hope not to screw LOL. Keep on creating plastic lovers.

great again Dr. I'm with you. I think that parents (builders) better said US have the chance to keep this art going and going while we are here and later. Our responsibility is to expose our children to this art instead of putting them in front of a tv with a video game. That's my goal even though I still don't have children besides that as some of you know I'm in the very beginning of a magnificent model building trayectory. The reason is because I moved to the U.S 6 years ago n back in my country you don't see anything about building models. So my point is, if we immerse ourselves in this beautiful realm our children will something to learn from us and something to share with their friends. So what will be the result??? If you teach one person n that person teaches two an those two to four equals EXPANSION and a longer life of this fantastic world of building and creation. Hope u didn't fall asleep.

Great incredible I have no words as "keep it going" u got talent

Appreciate it. C guys, people like are the ones who keep people like myself learning and improving.

Hello to all the scale model car lovers... You guys really (no brown-nosing) are such a great help and source of info. Please guys keep it going. Now to the point of this post, I've seen a lot of incredible amazing creations here. From a paint job to a body and engine detailing which is my down point. I'm stuck with my engine detailing, I've seen you guys talking about connecting parts that I don't even know which they are since all I know of a car is that it has an engine and a fuel tank LOL. So my situation is how do I wire my engines in the right way as I've seen in this forum? I don't think all of the awsome engine detailings have been made by guys who know exactly all of the engine parts. So guys bring all your help and comments. Thank u and keep on building. C u:)

thank u for the advice

Hi to all the geek squad of building and detailing. A simple question. Does it come up right priming a car with tamiya and then doing the paint and lacquer (any final touch) with HOK?????? Thank u everyone

Going through the postings and everything wonder why companies don't come up with kits based on recent (2005-2011) cars very often.

Thanks Cadillac. You gave those tips. Now that I've got those material. I think I forgot something important. What material do you recommend to use to build the box of? Which one to cover the inner walls and do I need any other material (fan)??? Thank u for the time taken.

Thank u Cadillac. My first question, what kind of lightbulb should I use and how many for a medium box. Second one, what kind of glass is the one used so the heat doesn't goes straight to the painted parts?. Third and maybe not last LOL, how long I should leave my painted parts in the paint booth. One more just popped up hahaha, sorry guys, does the paint booth have an opening to let the gases out while it's on?? Hope I didnt put u to sleep.

Thank u all of you for taking the time to always reply to all of my questions.

Hi builders out there one simple question. How do I make the gas caps and the holes in the body of me cars? Thank u

All of you artists and geeks (in a positive aspect) of the building and detailing world. Do you know if there exists a1/25 scale range rover model (plastic) out there n where to get it. Ooh one more if there is a trailer cab with four doors, same scale???? Let me know thanks n keep on building...

Great job. Even if u only change the color of something that's your creation and it's art. Keep on building. Would love to see pic of how u did it.

Thank u really thank u James and Shardik. Those comments are what I call constructive/productive comments. Really encourage me to know there are genius people out there who make great thing based on just great ideas. Keep on building everyone.

Guys where can I see how cadillac build the pat oven????? It sounds good to have this tool on hand.

Hi all the builders out there. I have a question for all of you guys. I need to chop pieces from a body and put them in another. What saw blades should I use? For this job and all the chopping in general. Thanks to all who take the time to help with advices.

Awsome!!! Holly Molly. The work you're putting into this beauty is going to pay off really good. Art like this is what I'm inspired for. Thank all the builders out there.

Hi everyone. Suppose title says everything. If some1 has a tutorial with pics I'd love to see it. Thank u builders and modelers.

This looks great guys. But one question. Some1 mentioned this technique wouldn't work for a larger size look, so is there any other method or way of doing it??? Let me know thank u
