very nice work, i am sure all the great builders started out with models too. keep up the great work Cadillac dave
You'll put your eye out kid! Just kidding, cool stuff, reminds me of me when I was your age except I had the dreaded "GFS" (Glue Finger Syndrome) too. Be careful though, model building can lead to the "heavy stuff", custom bikes, go karts, rusty old hulks sitting in the backyard, an empty wallet..........
Nice models I just was at a hobby shop last saturday looking at some thinking about doing them again it's been about 40 years sence I built one but I'm suer it will all come back to me, you know finger prints in the paint, glue on the chrome.
i've been workin on the g****vine today and got it perfect just half to paint it. i'll post pics of it along with my 51 convert. that i'm working on now. ah the sweet smell of fresh paint
I used to build models when I was your age and I loved it! I would take 2 or 3 kits just to build one of them the way I wanted. You have a great talent and I like the fact that you are not scared to cut one up to get the results you want. When you get a couple more years on you I bet you will be chopping tops and sectioning the full size cars and doing on heck of a job at it too. Keep up the good work and keep us posted!!!
freeken cool...me and a friend were just talking about how all we used to do was build model cars when we were kids....hell you cant even get a model car at wal mart anymore I dont think....they used to have a whole row devoted to nothing but model cars...not anymore...maybe like 3 or 4 kits if that.
Wheeewho. And here I thought it was just me. I tried building a couple models, but, found its a lot of work. Got to save my energy for my real cars. The funny thing is, now I have unfinished 1/25 model cars that match my unfinished real cars, and no real abilities or energy to finish either.
Keep up the good work Jon ! I started about your age and gave em up for many years. Started back building a few years ago and have really enjoyed it ! I pretty much only do Kustoms, glad to see You like em ! If You get a chance take a look at my Pics, Keep on buildin ! www.fotki.com/KustomKars
