Finishing service for plastic models

[jtvang125]

Is there such a thing? I want to start a small collection of plastic car models, mainly sports cars and tuner cars. I know putting the car together is part of the hobby but I just don't have the time to do all that. Plus my plastic modelling skills aren't that great either. You might say to just buy die-cast ones but the selection is still limited. I hate those DUB ones too, too riced out.

So, does anyone know a place that does this for a reasonable fee? I did a google but nothing.

Well there sure is more of a selection than the DUB models. I've seen plenty of diecast car models in my hunt for diecast military armor. Start checking out online hobby shops. There are a lot of them.

i used to try to put those together when i was a kid. i'd end up getting mad at some little peice, and smash the whole thing to bits.

good thing i don't have that temper problem any more. 😛

If you are interested in some really nice die-cast ones, let mek now. My father-in-law has a bunch and they're heading to eBay soon most likely....

What is the point if you don't build them yourself?

I was gonna say that? Are you gonna try and take credit for models you did not build?!

I realize that. I've built a few before and part of the enjoyment is building it yourself but I did mention that I don't have the time to build them anymore. My skills aren't that l33t either so they usually turn out pretty crappy. It'll just be a waste of money and effort. I would buy diecasts instead but many of the cars I want aren't available in a diecast.
