Probably Won't Be Building In a While.

[SuperStockAndy]

Hey guys-like the title says, I probably won't be building.

I'm saving up money to get a lift kit for my truck (which is $416 ), and I want to get that kit as soon as possible.

So basically-any WIP projects of mine waiting on paint will probably be a while.

I'm looking forward to doing my truck...I'm so broke it's gonna take some time though...

If you already have a stash of kits, there is no need to stop building. I have 4 project Mustangs and 2 project bikes, plus my daily driver wanting money from 'daddy's wallet.........and I still find the time to do some parts-sticking in scale without having to spend (due to my stash of kits/paint).

I've got a good stash going....but no paint

Well, I guess thats a pretty good reason (not a great reason, but a pretty good one ), I'll let you go & save for your truck Andy (like you need my permission!, but just in case you do, you have it :lol: ), get back as soon as you can tho, your builds will be missed for awhile!

Thanks everyone

I can still do models I already have the paint/parts for. Again, it's not because I don't have time, I just need to save my money. Too bad models aren't $1.49 anymore :lol:

better get used to it andy, unless you marry for money this is the story of our lives

one a more serious note though, if i could make a suggestion, walmart has thier 97 cent paint cans

i have a few models i painted with those and though they are not showroom qaulity not every build calls for a showroom quality finish does it?

just the other day i say a 1:1 mustang (think it mighta been a 66) and it had a nice shiny red paintjob on it

i thought it looked perty cool

but a day later i saw a similar stang in flat black primer and that ride looked menacing

i think this might be the time to build one of those "couldnt afford a paintjob cos i spend all my moneys on a hemi and blower" type builds

Model building as a hobby isn't just buying kits. A true hobbyist also stocks up on supplies such as paint. I have more paint than I will ever use, just like the kits. And like the kits, it takes time. I think if you really want to build a model you already have, you can find a way to buy a can of paint.
