Deads Model cars (super pic heavy)

[Dead91silvia]

I figured not too many of you know I build model cars so I thought I would show off some of my cars...

I have been doing this since I was about 9 years old, well at least finishing them. Mom and dad started me on them to keep me out of trouble as a kid and it turned into an obsession at one point. I have been competing since I was 14 and have won some ribbons and such, but I have since chilled and just do it for fun now.

I have built some as commissions (paid), but I dont do it too often since people dont like to pay what it takes to build a nice car.

Anyway, here are a few I have done. Over the years I think I might have built about 200-300, never did keep count, but at one point I had 13 64 Impalas that I had built, only two sit in a display case.

FYI: All of these are kits that are unpainted, so yes I painted every parts, changed wheels on most, shaved doors handles, made custom parts, and so on and so on. Like I said, I really get into it. You guys should see some of the customs projects I stil have yet to finish... Sometimes I bite off more then I can chew.... :lol:

I'll try and detail what I can remember. It's been years since I built some of these... In not real order of when I built them...

These next 2 cars have a lot of meaning to me... My dad built these back in 1960. I played with them as a kid and broke them, but then for fathers day about 10 years ago, I restored them for him as best I could. I have them now, but they both mean a lot to us.

I will post a pic of some of my new projects I got though! :grin:

Took a bit of looking, but I found myself a BG kit and a couple BH kits. As soon as I have the extra expendable funds, I'll hunt down a BE. No BD kits where ever made that I know of :smt022 ...

So her ya go... my trio of Leggys to be built! :smt023 I might even do a DIY for one of them so you guys can see one start to finish! :grin:

Tails look like pre-89, yet it has the 89+ front bumper...and it has the Group A intercooler vent in the front bumper. Nifty.

[Thomistopheles]

Ahhh that'd do it. I was gonna say, that's the weirdest MKIV Supra TT I've ever seen. :lol:

[Dead91silvia]

HAHA! Yeah, I noticed I did that to a couple cars... one car is a 1049 Ford... haha.. L'll fix it later...

I meant to say 89 Supra, but it might be an 88... Many of these kits have extra parts to do early, mid, or late versions. I know most of the S13 Silvia's have all the sets of different head lights in the kit.

And thanks for the feedback guys! Even though I know I'm not too bad at this, it's nice to know when your work is admired.

I did leave out some other pics... This is what I used for the set for some of my older photos... This is a wecking yard I built a few years back. Got 3rd place with it for diorama... I felt I should have got 2nd, but what ever. I know I got my ass kicked by the 1st place guy!

Craziness! I made models as a kid, but not to this extent lol Hmmm I bet my mother tossed all mine away now that I think of it... :evil:

[camroncamera]

These are AWESOME! I have few unbuilt or partly-built models in the basement, but they are almost all Star Trek (Enterprise NCC-1701/A/B/C/D and E versions) and one completed kit from Star Wars: http://culttvman.com/main/?p=16879

I haven't built a car kit since about 7th grade, though I've been tempted to many time over the years. With you being a paint/body guy and all, I'm sure your you have a unique insight into how to build these fabulous creations!

[grayguy]

These are amazing! I must say, that the wrecking yard and the 2 ratty ones are my favorite!

[camroncamera]

The photography in the Junkyard scenes is terrific as well.

[darryl]

nice pic's. i like the junkyard lay out. I remeber making model cars I have one that i need to finish in my dresser I've been telling myself for the last couple of years I'll put it together.

No matter what, dont toss models in the trash! It can amaze you how much some people will pay for an old kit. I'm still looking for a 1967 Chevy truck kit by MPC. Last one I stated bidding on, on ebay sold for $160+. My bid was at $50. Super rare kits and the only one of my 67 Chevy truck.

Also, I sold some old 1960's kit parts, PARTS, for $50 on ebay. I was about to toss them, but thought someone might want them. That got me my JDM side markers... LOL

Also thanks again for the feedback. I will be starting a DIY and progress thread on one of my Legacy Wagons. Two of them are started, but the other is bran new.

I used to build...actually gave a few hundred worth of models to a friend in exchange for him building me a subwoofer box for my truck, which I have also given away. I miss doing it, but I dunno when I would have the time anymore...maybe in winter, but painting a body in the winter sucks. Here's a couple pics that were still on my photobucket...

Is that a Tamiya RX-7 cabriolet in your junkyard scene? I have that kit too.

I'd be very interested in following a scratch build. I've wanted to do one for a long time, but I don't know where to start.

That is some nice detailing you have going on there! :)

Yes, it's a Tamiya FC RX-7... One that I built when I was a kid and it looked like crap, so to the junk yard it went... LOL

I'm doing a DIY right now with a BH kit that I have.

I know the feeling, I dont get much time at all these days. I have a show I still go to every May and this last year I took 6 or 7 cars, but most had been started long ago. I'm more just trying to use it for stress releaf these days. Works well, but I like spending my time in the shop working on my real cars. go figure huh...

Cool stuff man, if I could find the time I would probably be down to make some models.
