Heck, the paint is even smooth enough to WAX (and yes, I HAVE waxed it... isn't that sad???).

So yeah, let me know if you hear anything on the Kyosho's or Autoart's...

I will let you know. I used to collect diecasts and yes, I waxed all mine too. Even built a small photo booth to take pictures of them...

Where'd she buy that transformer?!
On a related note, I made a Tamiya 370Z plastic model a few months back: 370Z Model | Facebook

Dck- very nice! i sometimes wish i took courses in air brushing when i was younger...

ive been to tamiya's booth at toy shows where this talented artist was demonstrating their airbrush on a 1/24 scale car like yours. it's AMAZING how clean and thin they can paint the body panels. honestly it's better looking than any diecast ive seen.

DckChang · 12-22-2010, 05:41 PM

Yeah I've been into plastic models for a long time now. I've also made an Enzo Ferrari a few years back. I'm thinking about doing an SLS AMG in matte black next, or if an LFA becomes available I'll hold out for that.
I just wish I had a better camera. :'(

Yeah, I was a model building whore as well. Had a website and everything. Oh god I'd go to my workshop at 8PM and by the time I would go to bed it would be sunrise.

Okay guys... I updated my first post in this thread with some new pics! I got a White Ebbro Z and a hot wheel blue Z. I still have to post a pic of the blue wireless PC mouse I got too!!!

I NEED MORE!!! Like when Autoart or Kyosho do it...

kenchan · 01-04-2011, 10:12 AM

i wish hotwheels would've finished the tail lamps on those blue z's.

i have one too and it's just a plain blue.

over the holidays i bought a Z01 from Matchbox as a stocking-stuffer and both front and rear are decaled.

Yeah the hot wheels thing isn't really that great to look at, but hey, it was 98 cents, and might be a collectable

My kid was trying to play with it, but I told him sorry, it can't be opened!!!

kenchan · 01-04-2011, 04:21 PM

^^ hahaha, yah, the ones i really like i just hang them on my garage wall too (in the package).
