i built a model car some time back and posted some pics in a forum, MONTHS before i came here. people there weren't too imaginative i think. no fun like the guys here. all everyone was concerned about was making their car JUST like they saw in the latest magazine. my post count from there remains at 12! the posts read something like:
bumbum boy: blah, blah associated RC10
slappy: blah, blah tamiya
kyosho fan boy dude: blah blah kyosho
me: Hi,
i've gotten started in this hobby. I posted a pic elsewhere on this site a few months ago a pic of my 1/12 daewoo matiz. i bought it because i wanted a model of my car. well i like to put some work in my models so i got a bit bored of the hatchback. so here's my new body for that chassis. its from the maker of the same car (academy). only their plastic kits seem to be available in australia. i buy mine from NZ. in europe they are available from germany i think. so without further ado here it is!!
by the way, couldnt be bothered getting my airbrush set up. the effect you see on the body is from a $1.50 toothbrush!! the rest is hand-painted in tamiya acrylic. you dont HAVE to spend heaps of money on a nice paint-job
some dude: cool, very original
another dude: Aaahhhh.....Sandy beaches and crashing waves.
Makes me want to go to the coast!!
Cool danny!
bumbum boy: anyway, blah blah associated rc10
slappy: yeah and blah, blah tamiya...
at least with THIS hobby even if a cab looks similar to another there are heaps of things we do differently to one another and NOT just because thats what the latest magazine told us to buy! i entered my car in a model car club 'best paint job' competition and it was beaten by something that looked just like the latest magazine covers! a couple later told me they didnt realise my car was actually hand-painted and not bought like that. that was compliment enough
