Stephen H Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Hey Everyone! I found this forum a couple days ago and after seeing everyones work I just got pumped up again to get back into my cars. I have been out of modeling for about 13-14 years but never put anywhere close to the detail all of you are doing now. I am looking forward to getting back into it with the 1/25 cars. I have several Muscle Cars that have been in their boxes for 10+ years that I will start on. Where are some good places to get kits,paints and parts online? Thanks to all in advance and looking forward to learning and shring with the community.
crazyjim Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Welcome Stephen. This would THE place for model car/truck builders. There's all kinds of palces to get stuff out there. I use HOK paints and get them from Coast Airbrush. Kits from Hobbylinc, Tower Hobby, Mega Hobby, Model Express, and on and on. Aftermarket parts from Scale Dreams, Ma's Resin, Detroit guys. You might want to think about picking up a copy of MCM for a list of suppliers. I'm sure others will reply to your post and provide more sources. When you see a build or WIP, ask where a particular part came from. Don't be shy.
