I used to do this when I was like 10 years old. A couple weeks ago, I wanted to build another one, so I went and bought one. Started building it yesterday. These cars are still kinda cool ;)

Anyone else build them?

I used to when I was younger - but your enthusiasm may have convinced me to start anew! :D

i built about a dozen or so... never really could get to much into them.. some days my hands would work very well and i could put in some nice detail.. others i'd just keep messing up and it got aggravating... btw my father is amazing at these

Look around on the internet, and it will get you all pumped up. I saw a model of like a Porsche 959 that was almost indistinguishable from a real car. I think the guy had 200+hours in it or something.

I used to do them in Junior High (10 years ago), I have about 20 of them sitting on a shelf in my closet. They are pretty cool though, but alas I'm depressed now and don't do a damn thing anymore. I have another 20 or so unbuilt still in their boxes, I bet they're worth something on eBay. :)
