Here is about 2/3s of my stash of kits. Most of them are newer, but I have a couple old holy grails such as 3 Johan '70 Javelins. I'm looking for a '66 AMT skylark (not the stocker reissue) and '70 Wildcat. I'll come across one eventually. Until then, here are a couple pictures. :TU:
A Tamiya mini cooper. Helluva fun kit to put together, a big change of pace. I had more fun building this little guy than my last 5 musclecars. It's always good to break things up. Notice the custom Texas license plates I printed out :bglasses:
an AMT buyer's choice Opel GT. Again, a good kit for a change of pace. This one went together really well, the finished product came out pretty nice. Custom plates again, sitting on the dash. This one is "MNI VET" :laugh:
... :shock: looks like you could almost open your own hobbyshop. I like the way the plug wires look that you use, they scratch built? Very cool work, its always nice to have a change of pace when your use to just building 1 type of model. Tamiya motorcycle kits always worked well for breakin up the same ol same ol for me, but they're prices are generally a bit to much. Ive never had good luck with amt's kits , which is unfortunate since they model some pretty neat stuff. Last one I built was they're new(ish) bigfoot monster truck, which didnt come with one of the decal sheetsou: , and i didnt find out till i built 3/4's of the kit.
The wire is 30 gauge stuff, I use it on all of my kits for ignition wire. Drill out the distributers and cylinder heads and wire it in. I have some smaller metal line for brake lines and such, and then telephone copper wire (take the insulation off) for fuel hardlines and such.
... Cool I've been using thread for plugs for awhile now since its so easy to work with , but just doesnt have the right look, and melting the plastic trees into wires was to much of a pain.
