i know its kina lame but does anyone besides me build them im far from good at it but ive seen/bought much worse but for ten bucks especially when theres snow on the ground and my buicks in storage and its easy except painting it when theres dog hair everywhere  

I build them. I havent built one for about a year. I'm pretty much a pro at it haha.  I've made a few custom ones from scratch, like the 454 SS truck that i put a Don Garlits fueler engine in and complete sus[ension from a NEXTEL cup car. wow im a loser.

I think every true car guy started out with plastic, some just choose to contunue. I built models up untill a few years ago (I'm 29 now) when I developed a problem with my hands that just don't let me do the fine detail work anymore.

And I know it can be every bit addictive as the real thing. Once I built a '93 F-150 kit into a pro-street, buying probably 6 or more other various kits just for a small part, hitting the hobby-shop for custom pieces, and sctratch building quite a few also. It had wires, belts, hoses, REAL billet accesiories,  I spared no detail on it.  When it was done I had nearly $500 wrapped up into that $8 kit!! But also when it was done, it literally looked like someone had shrunk a real truck. I ended up selling that one at a model show for $800.

I really wish I could still do them!

I built alot of model cars as a kid. does anyone know where to get a 68-72 model nova? preferably a 71 because I like the tail lights better, but the other models will work  

Ofcourse, I did when I was a kid but, I started back up in my mid 20's. Had a 10 year break from it but, am at it again. I have a bunch of Pontiacs and Oldsmobile models along with a Buick and a Chevy.  

I build them when I have extra time.  Unfortunately that's not too often.  I've got a '70 challenger and a '70 nova waiting to be put together.

i did one of my Cougar when i was testing out its paint scheme. after i painted the car i displayed it under the back glass of the real car. it melted and deformed. looks like the mini car was in a rollover now.  

Its pretty cool that im not the only one still putting these things together,ive got the ,67's-69's camaros,buick rivs, nice 70 half camaro and others, what im really lookin for is a 99'chevy silverado,and 454ss truck.  

yup!!! i still do when i have time. last one i built was in 99, i helped my son with his, but that dont count. Post one of your cars

me too my last was a 67 shelby cobra i enjoyed it even though it turned out like crap and my son destroyed it about 10 seconds after i finished it (some reason the wife just couldnt comprehend why the kid needed to be grounded till cars fly) it was very relaxing and inexpensive though    hmmm maybe ill try a nother one soon i have a 70 442 still in the box some where

Not for the last 3 years...got married, had a baby, bought a friggin' house.  Jeez.  My current project (currently waiting for me...) is a 96 Ram that I'm infusing parts from the Budwieser top fuel car into.  It's coming out good (If I ever get around to working on it again).  Details that I'm especially proud of are the center arm rest that I lowered, (it was up in the bench position as cast) and the engine fittiment and wheel tubs.  Gettin' all exited now, the baby's in bed, wife's at work, hmmm......

could a blow-up doll of linda vaughn be considered a "car model" ???????  

Hmm,I'd buy one of those,heheh. I've been putting models together since I was a little kid,and still try to when i get the time.I have a bunch half done,and some I didn't even start yet.Sometimes I find one that's so cool I have to build it right away.As for the dude looking for a Nova model,check ebay dude! I can't recall the actual name of the kit but it was a drag car and it was real cool.I'm a Mopar guy,but I think one of my faves has to be the Monogram '66 Malibu with the straight axle and flip nose.I bet I've had 4 of em!
