Anyone here into Model Kits

[Mozzie]

When i get time and not at work all the time, do model kits, from Naval vessels to hot rod cars to old sailing ships. Unfortunately i don't have any pics of the ones i have done. But only having one eye has its challenges when it comes to the intrinsic details of them.

in another lifetime i was way off into building all kinds of plastic model kits. me and my friends launched a lot of those estes model rockets too. when i have more time, i'd like to get down on a serious model of an old tall ship complete with hemp sails and rigging.

Yeah tall ships are great, i have a few of them still in boxes i haven't opened yet. One day i will get to them.

I'm more into diecast cars, but I used to love building model car kits. I have some around the house that my dad and I used to build.

I've put together a few cars in my day and a couple dream catchers

Nothing recently though. Its been a while.

That dragster looks amazing, great detail on it, and the decal is great as well, that is my worse bit, putting them on.

hot water, patience and plenty of MicroSol does the trick

Oh yeah i agree there, it is the lining it up and straightening it that is the fun bit for me, patience i hve learnt after the first catastrophic attempt.. lol
