Model car thread

[chevybuytroy]

I don’t know if this thread will take off but I do a lot of models and not sure if you guys do. We have a model show in April I’ve been preparing for. I’ve been working on a Hudson dealership. My mom and dad found me this cool general store at a garage sale that was built at least 50 years ago I’m going to use. Here’s some pics of wat I got done so far. Which isn’t much...

Nice start . I've built hundreds of models but at 57 they have been blown to smithereens decades ago. Man the pieces on them today are like 20 bucks around here . Just nuts.

What scale are they?

[fatguyzinc]

my younger boy and i do them in 1/64 scale. (hotwheels size)
heres a junkyard we sold 3 months ago for $400 !!! i thought
the guy was crazy, we may have had $45-$60 in it--but he
(in his own words) "had to have it".....

we are collecting parts/pieces to build another one now.

I have a tote that has a ton of models I did when I was in high school. My son did one foe 4-h last year. I started using tackle boxes to organize tires, rims, etc. The model show got me wanting to to them again

Now I'm getting the itch to start building models again.

friend brought a friend of his by to look at some other (real) car parts, he casually mentioned hotwheels
so we took him upstairs to see the collection and he just about sh@t himself--he came back twice to buy
loose cars already and is supposed to come back again soon.... all together he spent $700+ already here!

what a nutcase, hah hah....
