I have been building model cars for a while now and just got back into it, not much to do without a job other than look for one all damn day. Anyways, here are some of my current projects.
360 and Boss









Enzo in progress, flat black and lime ice metal flake




I still need to work on my transition lines.

Post pics if you got em...

 

I had so many from years ago, most of which got smashed and broken by family members. I cried.

 

used to have so much fun with these when i was a kid.

 

Yeah that seems to be common here, we all did these when we were younger, now it is easier because I have much more patience.

 

I used to love building models. I would build them all year long, maybe 10 or 12, just to blow them up on the 4th of july with firecrackers.

 

That is awesome! I should do that this year with these, not sure what else to do with them...

 

That's pretty shitty. Some of those cars (planes, choppers, etc) take so many hours to get exactly right. I remember trying a couple when I was younger only to get frustrated with them.

 

Come on, anyone build models and have enough time to snap some pics and post them? It does not mean you are a loser, I promise

 

Edit:No comments on the army tribute Ferrari and the Italian red Mustang?!?

 

Damn i got one of My Nova i need to build. ill post some pics when i dig it out

 

they look pretty good! how much time do you put into one?

 

I don't have any, I swear lol. But I do have one of the metal pre-made 1993 McLaren F1 road car somewhere, I think its boxed up (moving, sorry).

 

Thank you sir. Probably 3 hours not counting the paint drying. I wish I had more patience.

 

Oh man I used to have a lot of those, a Jaguar XJ220, RUF Porsche slantnose and the McLaren as well, in silver, steering wheel in the middle!

 

Been thinking about getting back into the car thing again. Same boat, recently unemployed and with no one calling me back for interviews I have some time on my hands.

 

I understand completely, been out of work since the end of March. I have not been out of work since I was 14, 16 years ago. No unemployment coming in, nothing. This is some bad **** to be in right now. Building models is a distraction and the fact that I build them is good for everyone I come into contact with

 

Yep, this is the first time (aside from when I was in college) that I've ever not had a job since I was 12. I am getting unemployment, but I've been notified by my former employer that they're taking me to court to fight it. Yay. You ******** eliminate my position and then want to dick me over on unemployment.

I've only been off about 10 days, and I've had SOME interviews, but nothing's come out of any of them. I've been distracting myself with working on my house, doing some serious cleaning and stuff, but within the next week it's going to be spotless top to bottom, inside and out, then I'm not going to know what to do with myself.

 

Yeah I actually had to leave a decent position due to an unfit work environment. That is a long ass story. I feel for you man, I just hauled off and moved in with family, sold all my ****. I am trying to start everything over. I hope you get something soon, what were you doing before?

 

awesome cars you built they look great, i wanna see more pics!

 

I was a research specialist in mental health. Turns out a degree in psychology doesn't get you very far. I really want to get into IT, but I can't go back to school while I'm unemployed or else I lose my unemployment.

I couldn't stand to sell my house and stuff, luckily I have a private mortgage so I don't have to worry about foreclosure. I'm sure I'll find something, it's just going to take a while.

 

Bump for model car pics...

 

i have about a dozen laying around at home.. ill take pics if i remember

 

Does this count?





I've also made some cop car replicas from my local police, they're not full model kits just modded diecasts.

 

I would pay for someone to build a Cobalt replica

 

Nice cop car and x2 on the Cobalt model. It would be great if there was a model kit for it, but there is not boooo
