I used to do 1/24, 1/25 scale plastic car models. I won an award for a '73 Fujimi Porsche 911 RS. I fully plumbed the engine with ingitinon wires and a wired distrubutor and had coolant hoses and such. I used Bare Metal Foil for the windows/windshield/hatch trim and used flocking material for a black carpeted interior.

I used to fuggin' own!!!!!!!! The last model I worked on was a Fujimi '61 Porsche 356C. I got about 60% through with it (I had painted the body German Racing Silver, had finished the engine and plumbed/wired it, and had most of the chassis/interior done), then I left it for about 3 years. I came back to it and tried to finish but I didn't have it in me. I ended up selling the uncomplete work on eBay for around $30.

The '73 Carrera is still in my room at my parents house. I'm going there this afternoon so I'll take some pics for you guys and have them up tomorrow.

I said that I would get pics this afternoon and post them tomorrow ...maybe tonight, but my parents are on 56k.

I took picture for you guys before, let me check my DVD pics archive and see if I still have them.

I really liked gundam models for awhile but the habit was too costly to maintain.
