Picked this one up last week. It's an Enzo. Painting it stock red. Happy with how it's turning out so far:)

Love models, have about 2 dozen to build. Three of them a Stealths, 1/24 1st gen, 1/24 2nd gen, and 1/20 1st gen, The other one worth noting is a Bugatti EB110... 1/24 with 149 parts.

I even have a General Lee in that mix.

I haven't built a model since I was a kid. love to do it then. Now I just buy die cast models in 1:18th scale.

I dont have the patience to do it. I'm a perfectionist of sorts and can't make them perfect so I got annoyed and stopped doing it. I have a Stealth model that needs put together but probably never will unless I would break a leg or something and not be able to go anywhere.

Ditto. My Lindberg 1/20 scale 1st gen Stealth has been in my closet/boxed up in storage/back in closet for about a decade now. One of these days... ;)

Nope... no 2g... but I've seen people do absolute crazy shit with body filler on models.

Most of these I managed to save from my youth, the Stealth is fairly recent. BB guns and fire crackers will make a model car junkyard in no time. :lol:

Are there any car models that you put everything together, engine and all?

There have been a few that I did that on years ago. It had a few different valve covers, air cleaners, etc to choose from.

I'll have to get a pic of my collection. I've got everything from hotwheels to a 1:16th scale model. Plenty of diecast 1:18th's and I've built several kits. I want to start a few jets and boats when I have time :)
