awsome.. they look pretty good, but there's something about the spoiler on the camaro that doesnt look right.

my brothers and i put together more than i could ever remember..

i havent built any in a long time, but i used to love getting the details..

id lightly sand the tire treads to make them look used.. id even dry brush flat-black on the exhaust tips..
sometimes id go as far as heating and stretching the plastic sprue to make plug wires.

thanks, yea I could not the get spoiler to go on right, it's pretty hard to use such small pieces, but you got some good ideas, i'll try them out

thanks kawiefan

I've built many many models and I'm going to start again. It's a lot cheaper to kill time with the models than going to the bar.

Is there anywhere that I can find scale people cheap? 1:24 or 1:25 scale?

i used to build them all the time., made a few "custom" ones

built a dirt track car out of an old GTO. used the plastic holder thing to build an internal roll cage, used a dremel to groove the tires, some custom mixed brown paint for mud on it.

i lowered a Crew bab dually truck. made a pulling truck out of an old CHevy 4wd pickup. i still have brand new models in boxes i have not touched. have not built a model for 8 years or so. i have stolen the decals out of my model cars for use my CO2 car projects.
