Just wondering if any of you guys have ever made up model cars, if so which ones and how did you find doing them?

Me, porky and our boys have today being glued to the table making up 3 of these things..
F1 Ferrari
F1 Maclaren
Ferrari 250 GTO

At first I thought what a load of rubbish and was dreading trying to find yet more space on our shelfs for more sports cars [we already have about 40 on display and thats not counting my Eddie Stobart trucks!] smile

But to be fair I have quite enjoyed playing my part in putting them together, I was set the job of painting all the parts, and found it very relaxing yes and can't wait to see all 3 cars finished with pride of place some where in are ever increasing collection of die cast sports cars! rolleyes

All the time, It's like a man's form of knitting laugh Never happier than when I've a scalpel in one hand, the other is stuck to a rough-looking bit of plastic with some pretty poor gluing skills! Bliss smile



Coopless!

This is way more fun than knitting laugh

Prefer the painting bit myself you just need a steady hand and good eye sight! smile
