I have like 30+ Tamiya car models and a crap ton of detail parts for them, but I never finish them cause I want them to be perfect and I'm too scared to F it up. It's been awhile since I've bought one, and have been thinking of picking up a few Impreza models for a few weeks now. I'd like to get back into it but just don't have the space at the moment.
sweet looking ship btw. you have an airbrush? Or pre-painted?

You should build it though!
Yup. It's the old model kit from like the 70's in a new box. Folding Wings, retractable landing gear and all the good stuff. I built one when i was about 13 too and i totally destroyed it. I used to try and find the models with all the functioning pieces. Let me know how much i can snag for it if you can. its this one and sorry for the big picture.

All of my works are on my website. Mostly Gundam/Mecha and figures. Been mostly doing commission work as of late.

My brother has half a wall full of gundam and star wars stuff, I'll take a pic next time I'm there.
I wanted to collect model cars, brought home 2 ferraris and 1 lambo from Austria 15+ years ago....but pretty much stopped there when I realized that the good quality model cars in the Philippines were quite pricy for a poor high school boy LOL
