All My models of 2003

well this is my 12th month since starting model building, and i think i am definately improving, its amazing looking back and realising that 12 months ago i knew so much less than i do now, i have met some truely inspirational people on this board and hope to learn something new each day.
Here is a selection of photos for you on the 20 cars i have built since jan.

That's sure a nice display chris.. :smile:
I feel you very proud of your acheivement,as you should be mate,that's
a mighty effort for 12 months,great stuff :smokin: :smokin: :smokin:

Look forward to the next 12 months......
I'd say my fav would be the orange Supra...... :evillol:

cheers stump :aus:

cheers dude, just a few more things to do to the supra then its all sorted! been hanging on my shelf for months and months. i finaly re-sprayed the hood a few days ago and i hope i will finaly get round to the last bits soon

Brilliant work, mate.

Very impressive! You've probably built more in 12 months than I have in 6 years!

Look forward to seeing more of your work next year!!

Good grief man! :eek7: That's some output for one year! Most impressed. :iceslolan

next year my resolutions are to build more complex models and take more time. perfection is an ultimate goal and i gotta push my self b4 i can ever achieve it.
Am in preperation for my enzo, for 6 months i have been gathering information and a studio 27 photo etch kit to make my best model i think, i hope you will all like it. its gonna have my personal traits in there to make it a little bit different. hehe

Impressive! :thumbsup:

Excellent presentation!! :sunglasse

Great collection! I like to see so many personalized models, and to think all that work and progress was done in one year, impressive.

Now, if you could rebuild one of your earlier models using skills that you have now, which one would you choose and what would you do different? I always encourage new builders not to build their favorite models until they build a few for experience, that's why I ask. I have a few of my own that I built before my skills and techniques had been honed that I would like to do over.

shit. so cool!

chris, it is nice to know you man. It is nice to see you use all the 19" rims on your projects, keep going, hehe.

wow, that's a lot in 1 year.

damn chris! you've been like a factory! lol

good work on those, can't believe you've only been building for a year!

Looking forward to see next years work

especially your enzo... i know what yer doing.... but i won't say nothing ;)

damn good work.

Very nice,but where do you get time to build so many models?

Very nice,but where do you get time to build so many models?

Really! That's what I want to know. I probably couldn't build 5 models in a year even if I pushed myself. Well, I could, but not as nice as any of yours! That's really amazing, how many and how quickly you built them up, and how good the all turned out. From what I gather, this is your first year of model building? Amazing! I've been building for years and I still wouldn't dream of doing the body mods you go after!! Speaking of, any word on your widebody convertible RX-7?

I would like to say thank you for all the kind comments on my models. They spur me on so much. Thanks guys.

With regards to time i get to spend on my models, i dont realy get that much, only late evenings, im banned by my girlfriend from building when she stays over. so that leaves me monday to thursday. i dont sleep too well so i sometimes do 48hrs without sleep which leaves me time to do stuff from 11pm till 7 am!

but thats not too often, once a month mainly. I have honed my skills at breaking down a instruction booklet and finding similarities in colours etc which allows me to paint all relevent parts in one go rather than keep washing brushes etc. Its a habit that comes from my job as a project manager. i find i can control time i spend to be most efficent.

as to the question on what i would re build, i think it would be my mercedes dtm clk. i rushed it a lot after seeing a few cool cars and run before i could walk. the hood was a success tho, i still realy like it. it was the first modified car i ever built. my insperation. also i would love to rebuild my green 350z and my sas nismo skyline, all were early projects.

i feel my painting skills have come on so much, but that is experience and the god of paint "pman" cheers dude for giving me goals to attain!

of all the forums i have ever been on this is the best place ever, i love coming here every day and finding out what you guys have been up to or think of my work. :iceslolan

Chris, you have an awesome collection going on.
if your like me you'll be running out of space to put them.
Let hope we see you still here in another 12 months, cause based on the last 12 your work should be very very very good by then NOI

wow, amazing effort for only 12 months worth! thats 1.5 models a month... fantastic :D

Nice collection you have over the last 12 months.

chris, I wanna see more pics of the green 350z. :D

here you go joe. just taken some pics for you. hope they are ok. i even found one of my pre paint pics. this was built on the 22/2/2003. my second ever model.

hope you like it, all the graphics were airbrushed on.

storage is at a premium at the mo for my models, but i have found a solution. not exactly a cheap one but a solution all the same. gonna have to buy 6 of these
http://www.ikea.co.uk/PIAimages/27487_PE094575_S4.jpg
they are from ikea and cost £55 in the uk, their name is "Glass-door wall cabinet BERTBY"

dimensions are
Width: 42 cm
Depth: 19 cm
Height: 170 cm
Max load/shelf: 3 kg

i think that i should be able to get two cars to a shelf or maybe just the one in some cases. but they will be protected etc.

woho, nice work man.

the ikea carbinet is cool, but be fragile, the glass is easy to come off.

Chris, The BERTBY is in the sale at Ikea in April 2004 if you can wait that long, That's what I'm doing, Check out the back of the Catalouge, I think it's £45 then

cheers dude, might do that then, save myself £60. cool. buy a couple more kits. lol.

are there any more requests for more detailed pics of the cars?

Dang. Thats a lot of kits. They all look good too.

cheers dude, might do that then, save myself £60. cool. buy a couple more kits. lol.

are there any more requests for more detailed pics of the cars?

How about the R34 in silver color w/ blue strip???

wow! very nice and cool collection cris :) that many models in a year.... hope i can find more time to build more myself! still couldnt finish my modified evo and my girlfriend is giving me 2 more models this christmas :rolleyes: well hope to see more of your very good work in the years to come! :)

How about the R34 in silver color w/ blue strip???

sure dude, i will just go take some photos of it. please bear in mind this was my third model and it was my first sas transkit. its another one i plan to re-build. lol. there is so much i would re-do to it now though.

:ylsuper: Nice collection, not bad for your first year, also nice to see some of the mods youve done. Personnally I think the green 350 is the best.

cheers dude, the 350 is definately a car i might consider rebuilding again and making a more perfect copy. there is some crappy sanding that i didnt see before etc, but the wing seems to sit perfect on there!

very clean collection, but that unfinished rx7 needs to be finished for me to say it's a complete collection :)

howd i miss out on the individual threads for these?????!!!

hey chrismcgee what kind of purple is that in your sig? nice collection!

the purple on the car is actualy a Rage flip paint that is red to blue, and purple and gold in between. very nice paint but also very expensive

nice collection!!but is easy to built 20 car when 17 car have no engine!!

very true, thats why next year i am going to be concentrating on more difficult to build kits requiring detail, i have a Enzo and a ferrari 360 in my cuboard waiting to take my skills that bit further

lol, yeh. i have 2 cars on my desk and another one on order, all have engines :\
love the harlequin paint in your sig!
