Model car building

[bluechevytuber]

Anybody like building the 1/24 scale model cars?

[crawlhog]

thats what got me into RC. still building em tho

[bluechevytuber]

What all have you built? Or too many of them to name. lol

[dubAron]

I did in the past mostly lowriders but I made a few lifted trucks but now there just sitting there untouched

[bluechevytuber]

I think their pretty fun to build just because they are tricky sometimes.

I used to when I was younger. Mostly lowriders as well and some hot rods as well as replica's of my dads vehicles. Fun hobby. I wouldnt mind picking up a few more kits now that I think of it.

I like to modify them lol I got one lowrider mustang that i made in to a funny/drag car, one was a normal johnny lightning neon that i converted into a tuner with home made body kit and a spoiler i got off from another car, and some different engine and it was lowered

i used to build alot, mostly custom pro street and 50,s 60,s cars 1/24-1/12th,,had over 300 kits in my collection at one time..did alot of kitbashing and i used to do all the brake lines and spark plug leads..etc now its funner to build them and run them

[bluechevytuber]

Sweet. Got down to the nitty gritty sounds like.

[vonclod]

ya scalers are the best of both worlds but ya definatly more fun to build something that you can take out and wheel..i still scan ebay now and again for cool kits or stuff that might apply to a 1/12-1/9th scaler

Vonclod, did you ever kit bash and make any gasser? Been thinking on makin one just cuz I love the way they look

[vonclod]

i never kitbashed one but i did build a revell gasser kit..i think it was a thames or anglia..soooo long ago..lol, for my builds i likes the slammed look one of my buds has a 1x1 1937 willys overlander gasser..scary ride

[ol puddin head]

as far as gasser goes, revell had a nice 41 wiilys coupe and a bad a$$ henry j.

[demonoid369]

I want to see a pic of the 1:1 that would be sweet to see

I just built a gasser'ish 57 Nomad. Its got a straight axle front suspension, minimal interior, and roll bar.



My Dad taught me how to build models when I was about 7. I have been building ever since. I build some stock, kit bash, scratch build...whatever I can come up with that looks cool.

Here are a few I've put together.

[TURTLE]

Built some cars, but mostly planes, jets and tanks. Still got most of the ones I didn't use as target practice for my BB gun.

[hellbounder]

i still have a few, not much time too build tho. when i moved i gave away about 80 kits. id buy a kit just for parts. i still have an ass load of wheels rims and parts. gassers , alterds , rat customs are my favorites.

[squatch71]

have about half of what you show...lots of gassers, and mopars for me.


my Dad started me around 7 or 8 as well, then around 13 into RC's that was almost 30 years ago

I used to, big time. 10 years ago I had about 400 of 'em down in the man cave. Got rid of 'em when I startedthe whole crawling thing. Every once in a while I pick up a 1/8 scale kit, like this Turbo T/A:







It's fawking huge, but I can't do the real tiny stuff anymore.
