Those who are capable of working on the Tamiya car models, I envy you guys!
I have a Celica GT-FOUR Safari Rally car Tamiiya kit. I built it like ****, and it looks HORRIBLE! I can't put on decals for ****, I can't paint, but it was still pretty cool and fun to build it. I can't put in finishing touches or small details, but it's just enjoyable to build models of mechanical stuff like cars.
But most of my models consist of Gundam models. Gundam Heavyarms Custom is the "hardest" one I've built, but it really wasn't too hard.
I also have a ZOIDS Dibison by Hasbro, with motorized walking. But I think the structural integrity is bad, it can't walk properly anymore...

I had a few models. An Integra, an R32 Skyline, and an S13 Silvia. But I've moved so much, and they were packed in boxes, so they broke and fell apart. I need to start all over again.

Bump.. Trying to finish the R34 today. Painting trim pieces on the body then going to clear coat it and hopefully slap it all together later. Will post some pics in a bit.

Yeah I haven't put a clear on it yet. Don't know if I will. I've never used it so I'm kinda cautious about it at the moment. So it's just airbrushed "classic White" right now. It would probably look a lot better with a clear coat, I still need to tinker with it to make it look a little better..

As a disclaimer:
This is my first Tamiya model I've completely finished, I think it turned out decent. I've had this R34 for about 5 to 6 years now and I JUST now built it. I have about 30 models all together that I need to build, but I wanted them to turn out perfect so I never built them haha. So this is progress lol.

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

There's a thread like this on the hot rod forum I'm on.... let's just say... well, hell I'll post a few pictures...
and this is nothing... these guys make their own parts from scratch...
there's even guys that are doing stuff in metal. From models to custom pedal cars. Dope hot rod builds, custom bikes and some of the best artists I've ever seen.
