MODEL CARS

1969 Chevy Camaro

One of the best yet?

Finally Finished!

 

I finally finished this!  Even though a couple little details didn't come out the way I hoped, I'm really happy with the overall look to it.  I've always liked this red color, and will probably do a couple more in this color.  Check out the gallery for full pictures!

2010 Chevy Camaro SS

Fun Little Car

Definitely Fun

 

This was a fun model to build!  I enjoyed every aspect of it, the engine is super detailed and so is the interior.  I wanted a custom paint on it so I used a black base coat with a metalic orange to get the burnt orange color.  Take a look at the gallery for more!

Custom 1998 Honda Civic

First Custom Build

Lots of Options

 

This was the first custom car I built that had options to it.  Aftermarket parts, custom pieces, lots of stuff.  I had fun building it, way back in the day.

2001 Chevrolete Corvette

I Think it's an '01?

I Don't Really Remember...

 

This was the third model I built (right after the 1998 Viper also on this page).  I learned some stuff doing it, definitely enjoyed it.  I don't remember what year this car is exactly, pretty sure it's 2001 but not sure...  

2009 Corvette ZR1

Custom Build

A Beautiful Model

 

This is a beautiful model that has sat on my shelf for four years waiting to be built!  The reason is because I needed to up my building skills.  This has custom chrome parts, custom paint scheme and pin striping, and lots of detail!  I'm very happy with this build and how it came out!

Ferrari Enzo

Lots of Detail!

Level 3 Model

 

What a fun car to build but also somewhat of a pain due to the unibody.  The entire underside is one solid piece which was warped in the kit making it a bit tricky, but I love the way it came out plus the engine!  Click below for more!

1993 Ford Thunderbird LX

Built for a Competition

I Had a 1995

 

I built this T-Bird as a competition for being as accurate as possible, at the time I had a 1995 T-Bird so that made it easy for this build.  The real one I had was the exact same colors as this model.  I didn't win but still enjoyed it.  Take a look for more!

 

2012 Shelby GT-500

Built for a Girl

Literally for a Girl!

 

I built this for my wife, I asked what colors she wanted, she said black with pink stripes and accents.  This was a fun one to build, lots of great detail!  From a recent talk, a future Mustang will be pink with black stripes...  

1998 Dodge Viper

2nd One

A Learning Experience

 

This was the second model I built (after the 2002 Mustang) and I don't know what it was about this but it was so frustrating that it would be a good year before I tried to build another model (the '01 'Vette).  Looking at it now, it didn't come out too bad. 

2016 Camaro SS

Quick Build

Great Paint and Details!

 

This vehicle has a great paint-job that I'm 99% happy with!  (Which is a first!)  In addition it comes with quite a bit of detail for a snap-together kit!  Pre-painted taillights, rear window defrost, pre-painted black on the windshield.  I added my touches and am happy with it, especially for $7!

​

1965 Chevy Stepside

My First Classic Build!

Fun Truck!

 

This was my first classic vehicle build ever, up until this point I had been building only modern vehicles.  I enjoy the customization this one has with the flames and rims.  I got the paint scheme idea from a Hotwheels version I have!

2012 Camaro Convertible

Lacking in Detail but Nice

Showroom Model

 

I got this model to try out a different brand, one that had "showroom quality" in it.  And while I was impressed with the outside detail it was lacking in lots, including stuff like and engine and hood that opens.  Still came out nice, click below for more.

2002 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra

My Very First Build

Yep This Started It All

 

This Mustang here, even though it's not all that glamorous, is the very very first model I built and painted.  This Mustang right here is what started this whole hobby, and lead me to the point you see on this site!  It's not fancy, but neat to see how far I've come in building!  

2006 Porsche Boxster

Quick Build

An Experiment

 

This was was an experiment to try some new painting techniques for the body as well as the interior of the car.  I'm happy with how it came out and look forwad to using what I learned on new vehicles in the future!
