Ulf Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) Hi After reading the forum for a couple of years and writing a few posts I have now started a project in Community Builds, Race of Gentlemen presents... California Drag Racing 2023 Build Thread I have been building plastic models off and on for 50 years, they have always been in the back of my mind but for a long time there hasn't been time. Now and in the future there always will be. I guess I differ from many here in that I never save any finished models, the process is always most important to me, the result is uninteresting as soon as it is finished. Anyway, now I'm working on a generic diorama that will fit all the cars I build, so they'll have to sit in a display case for a while waiting for the next car to be finished. Now I'm building the AMT Ford 34 and waiting for spring when we go to the summer house where I airbrush and build on the cars I didn't finish this summer. EDIT: I’m a AMT-fanboy. All The Best Edited January 12, 2023 by Ulf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglia105E Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Welcome to Model Cars Magazine forums Ulf . . . I do understand what you are saying, and I find that I really enjoy the building and painting of the model car, and also the research for photos and specifications. Once the model is finished and the build is completed, I just want to move on to the next build, so maybe the finished model is not so important at that stage. I do build dioramas in different scales, and my feeling is that model cars should not always be displayed in glass cabinets or on shelves, but they come to life in a much more interesting way if they are displayed within a diorama setting, that has buildings, figures, trees, roads and streets.

Tanks, tack I can honestly say that I have no contact with any car builders other than a hello at a show (I go to one occasionally to look and buy some odd stuff). To exhibit with all that it means with a whole day etc has not been on the map before but you should never say never, maybe it will come now when I retire. I saw that you liked my Nova project, it has its winter rest in the summer cottage and most of my modelling is in the thread below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
