Nice.

I am a plastic modeler, among other hobbies.

I do mainly mil armor and aircraft.
Started a hack job on 2 C5's in an attempt to make my idea for a "Riceeater". Will post pics if I ever get it done, but I have 3-4 tanks to finish first. .

u can use the same filler you use on a car to fill models.
In fact i use dupont paint on my models. I get paint samples and over-reduse them. i use a cheap airbrush to paint.

I'''m currently trying to make a scale model of my truck, but they don't make an ext. cab s-10. so far It's taken me 4 kits to make a scale model of my truck. First model I ever had to build a frame for.

I got about six car and truck models. I'll have a few pics soon.

where do you get the wheels for your models, dropped?

[DROPPEDGMC]

the hobby store sells them. lots of different types

[bvr775]

If, like me, you don't have a hobby store in your area. There are a billion sites on the web where you buy parts, kits, frames, you name it. It's just like buying parts for your truck only smaller and allot less exspensive.

I just found a resin cast ext cab s-10 with all 3 functional doors. I ordered 2 kits, a cowl induction hood, ls1 engine, and a set of draglite telestars for it and only payed 40 bux.

Real nice. The details great. I used to build models. That makes me want to start back, if I had the time.

[DROPPEDGMC]

i wish they would make a scsb in a truck for one of those

[97noma]

i have a model car that i am building rite now.....u see i have this thing with muscle cars and big shiny chrome wheels....i dont kno why but i think it looks really good. the model is a 1:16 scale 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang hardtop. the wheels that come with the model look like crap seeing that they were the stock wheels. my 1:24 scale Dub Cadillac Escalade came with 2 sets of wheels so i took 1 set and i am in the process of putting a 1:16 scale Mustang on 1:24 scale Oasis B-1 24" wheels. i'll try to get some pics of it but im not sure if i can use my friends camera this weekend.

[Supercharged-ZQ8]

Once upon a time I built models. When I was younger I did a lot of WWII Wermacht armor and troops. Graduated to cars and trucks. I've got a Sonoma std cab stepside I've been working on -- painted it white to match my BIG toy. . . Now I just need to find a Chevy grille for it in the same scale. . . I'm not as hardcore into it as I once was, otherwise 1) I'd have finished it by now and 2) I'd have it looking EXACTLY like my real truck.

Most of what I've been doing are 25mm and 15mm fantasy miniatures -- dragons, warriors, wizards, etc. Haven't even done those lately -- too many projects going on in the past few years and never enough time for all of them. I was working on a 1/72 scale diorama of the Battle of Teutoberg Forest (Romans vs. Germans), but ran out of room, and my attention span wandered to other things. I may pick it back up again as well.

I just build when I have else nothing to do. Like now i just had to take break because the glue was getting to me to me to me to me to me
