My collection and some completed projects

[Chris Lott]

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:

Last one for now, this one I finished a couple years ago.

: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 sheets:Dou: , 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 :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.
