You will not like these

[angelo7]

I did these maybe 4 years ago.  Not a drop of paint.  Did them like that just to reminisce my childhood (1970s)  builds.  They were essentially glue bombs.

 

I build  a little better now.

The white JJ car looks really cool in white.

Thanks.

When I was a little kid taking up the hobby my dad wouldn't let me build one without painting all the parts (with a brush back then). I guess he figured the longer it took to build one, the less he would have to buy.

They look Fine.

There is a whole subclass of model building called Naked Modeling. Just Glue and Decals.

Some guys use it as slump buster, others because it is simple and recalls childhood memories.

It's all good.

I'm with below. The JJ car is wild in white.

I like it!  Very cool vibe.  Like the bone model ships that prisoners made in the Napoleonic wars.

Anyway, actually pretty cool.  I prefer white plastic kits to all the ones molded in color anyway.

Something different!

Very true. I think I remember some people doing this a few years ago and calling them "ghost models", ?? 

I couldn't bring myself to do it but it sure would be a help in clearing out someone's unbuilt stash. 😉

As a kid I think I could build one of these in just a couple of hours (if that). Drag racing cars were my passion.  Not one sticker was left.  I loved the racing stickers.  I started painting models later as a teenager.

I Like the Jungle Jim car especially.

I really liked those build!  Nice work!

They look cool. The important thing is if you found the builds enjoyable.

Steve Magnante did a few a while back similarly and called them "funny car folk art". I built a '65 gto altered wheelbase the same way, zero paint. I don't plan to make a habit of it, but it was a pretty fun and quick slumpbuster! Yours are pretty darn cool.

Angel they look like clean builds!  I do like them and your skills are impressive these days as evidenced by your wicked dragster! -Mark

I dig 'em, especially the Old pro Nova. It really projects the early-years vibe. cool stuff.

These simple build takes me back to a time when my uncle gave me a AMT 40 Ford on my seventh birthday it would have been 1977 and if memory serves me correctly the box art showed a green 40 ford . We built it stock out of the box in raw white plastic . With the steel axles it rolled really nice and I played with it for years , and isn’t that what it’s all about when you’re 7 years old . Job well done

Thank you all for the nice comments.  But I thought nobody was going to like them as the title says, "You will not like these".  🙂
