Yes, I have, as I'm sure others here have. The principles are all the same, just on a larger scale. Here's my car, which I painted myself last year:



As many people have said, prep work is 90% of the job anyway, spraying the paint itself is simply taking your time and not rushing it. Buying pre-built models is useless, as others have said you might as well go die-cast. You spoke of spending too much money, and the fact is, to get really good scale models built for you costs a fortune, and buying really high quality die casts also costs a fortune. For me, a cheap Revell kit for $10, another $10 in paint, and $5 in supplies like brushes and glue, and time and effort is worth far more.

Scuse me Willimo, but the only models girls are interested in are NOT 1/24 scale!
