Plastic Model Building:
 

I have been building plastic scale models for about five years now. There is a local hobby that I have done some building for and since I have received positive feedback at the store, I thought I would offer my services to the members. The models are $60. I can build any car, any color, and minor modifications are possible if parts permit. My models are painted with a Bradger Air Gun, and are detailed to factory specs. The only requirement is that you supply the model. I will NOT build any 1990 and newer AMT models and I will NOT build any cars newer then 1982. If your interested please e-mail me. I will take two car orders at once. From start to finish the models will take about one month. Thanks for your time.

Do you use photo etched stuff and scratch build things on the cars that need to be made ?

Re: Plastic Model Building:
 

If you are referring to the model decals, the answer is NO, I use whatever comes in the box. I don't know what your talking about.

Thanks Tom...you should see what they do today..it's unreal

Re: Plastic Model Building:
 

So true!
I too see what I was building 20 years ago,and what would win 1st place at Model shows back then,and can't believe the attention to Detail today.
The Human condition has taken this as well as other hobbies way above the next level.
One for our side. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Hi Guys,
In the'60&'70's "Hobby Shops" were a common sight--they would sponser car modeling contests.There are only a few here and there now, and I don't see the modeling contests any longer, at least in brooklyn.I use to enjoy it as a kid ,unfortunately I think my patience and eyesight have gone down a few notches since then. How is it out where you fellas live?

Re: Plastic Model Building:
 

Small hobby shops are still around but few and far between...they went the way of the corner grocery,the corner drug store,the mom &pop tropical fish store,etc....remember when everyone knew your name at these shops ?

Re: Plastic Model Building:
 

Your right about that Belair,- I could have swore every little old lady in my neighborhood was an under-cover FBI agent--- they knew everything that was going on ,and they made sure they relayed any crap I was getting into back to my parents.--Good Times though [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]---Nice Detailing

Hey---Belair your old!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] --
