What do you guys model when taking a break from cars?

[Lownslow]

i do what Tonio does, i forget about finishing what i start just like models

[MPWR]

I gotta say, those are bitchin'!

[micaman68]

Paper models.

[Tibi Keke]

I want to finish something i started for 2 years ago. This : a Revell Grumman F 14 D Super Tomcat. For me one of the nicest plains that the US Navy ever had.

model cars is what I do to take a break from doing other things.

I like to build radio control airplanes. Imagine a model that performs just like the full-scale prototype.

This is a 1/5 scale Nieuport 11 with a 60" wingspan. It has all scale structure and flying surfaces. In fact even the airfoil is scale. It also will likely have some of the notorious bad habits of the original like a weak structure, poor weight distribution, ineffective ailerons. But then, you know its scale....

Incidently, now my user name makes more sense. A "crate" was contemporary pilot slang for a poorly designed airplane back in the Great War.

I scratch build carnival rides and things that belong in a carnival, but mostly carnival rides. All in O scale, or 1/32 scale. But when im not building rides im usually out collecting rare kits!

[nugundam93]

mecha models like those from gundam, macross.

[Mike Taylor]

I dabble in the other modeling areas

@lownslow: you're a bike artist! I must show to my kids and purchase a seamer! Last 3 are so sweet!
@CrateCruncher: amazing job, how a balsa craftmanship!!

yep, not yet so busy, but feel free to partecipate.

I'm back to airplanes modeling after 25 years of cars, I'm having so fun.... so much art chances vith liveries and so much rich subject!!!!!!!

May we getting troubles to purchase racing sponsored stuff (RedBull/smoke/alcohol/copyright war)? Well no probs, we'll find million opportunities in other modeling fields!

So true!

[p9o1r1sche]

I bicycle and more recently, 1/32 planes. I have a couple RoG sailplanes and a Bucker Jungmeister.

Hey Mike Tayor, nice plane. What do most airplane modelers use for the bracing wire? Metal wire or thread? (polyester?, nylon?)

[rod_k2]

OLD SKOOL TONIOOOOO!

Awesome BMX,lownslow!

I too mess with bikes... In fact,i'm away from modelling because I can't stop riding my bike...Yes,in the winter... [:P]
