I have got to start building some of these

I wasn't sure where this should go but it is under glass. $1,000 on sale for $400? Wow, I have got to get me some frames and start building some of these! In all fairness, they are very nicely painted and assembled. I have seen them in the Tamiya headquarters in Irvine.

Those things are amazing! Would like to build one of my own to!

I think this would have been better in the chat and discussion section.

Pete,

Interesting concept! Just like many of the die cast cars, I wish you could buy them in a raw kit form ( I know some companies used to offer that) and paint detail etc to your favorite car driver what ever. I personally don't think I would buy one just for the mechanics of putting one together but if it was offered in a plain jane version , it would be very tempting.

thanks for sharing!!!!! jwrass

you DO realize this has nothing to do with putting anything together...those are pieces mounted in a framed display meant to be displayed on the wall or similar. its like an exploded diagram in 3D.

Yea, I think that is where I was going with this. Buy the kit, paint it, stick the parts to a piece of backer board, frame it and you've got some nice wall art. I'm not even sure that you need to clean it up that much, after all it is a Tamiya kit. Just a nice wall hanging for the den.
