I have been building sense I was a kid. Now 52. Usually build
in the winter when I can't do anything on my Duster.
Have about 120 built and around another 80 or so to build.
All mopars. 12 or so Dusters, Darts and Demons. If I get a
chance I will put some pics in my garage. Have one built just
like the big Duster.

My first and last model I built was whenever I was about 13. I bought it for my stepfather's birthday at the time who did not want anything to do with a "purple sissy car". I put that '71 plum crazy hemi 'cuda together and thought "one day I'll have one". I still don't have a 'cuda or a hemi but at least that A$$ aint around. I still can't trust Ford people......

Does anyone else put together model cars?

I've built a few.....

This was a $5 swap meet rescue of an original `59 AMT Buick. The entire interior is scratch-built with some details added....(see the keys hangin from the ignition?) paint is water based acrylic sprayed through an airbrush. This model was featured in an OLD issue of Custom Rodder way-back when Rick Hanmore had a modeling column.

I have other pix, but I up-loaded them from another photo host site and unfortunately the images are too small to see the little details. I'll post a few anyway.

all about the customs.. niceee,

i think i have built soo many models i lost coundt from cars to trucks, to boats and planes then i built helicopters and motorcycles, i actually bought a red charger RT a few months ago. never finished it actually.. soo much too little time..

You can try all day long till your blue in the face to find or build a 66 dart.. it aint happening.. but this is canada and things are harder to find sometimes

Those are all nice models..
wish i had the time still for things like that!

what type of models are those?? diecast or plastic

 

[FASTBACK340]

The models I posted are all 1/25 scale plastic or resin kits.


And as for that `66 Dart model......check it out. I just made you a happy Dude!
