Models to be made

[endac]

I was just looking through this thread and wondering, what do people do with the empty boxes once the kits are finished?

Ah someone with the same sort of LM taste!. Nice collection, the built ones look great. If you ever want to part with that 1998 LM porsche 911GT1 evo kit let me know

Beautiful collection!

In the last picture it looks like there is a diorama of a Lancia Stratos driving into a watersplash...do you have any closer pictures? It looks really cool from far away!

Thanks

No,i am working as a insurance agent for Allianz and there are some frinds at work,they ask me if i can build them this car.

Now i have all the materials but some of them do not work for Allianz anymore,so now i have to many kits of them incl.the detail kit of Scale Motorsport.

If someone is interested in this i will sale 3 complete sets for 95 US Dollars.
Please make a PM to me.

Can someone explain me why people buy more than 3 same kits?

one to practice
one to build proper
one in case you want to build it again but better than the last one
one so that you have one for futire building
one to practice on so that future building will have less mistakes
one for spare parts
one for spare parts for your spare parts

wait a minute...
that's more than three.

Plus making different versions out of it!

That is my only reason I have mutiple kits of one specific kit. For example I bought multiple S27 vipers is to make the 2000LM #51, 52 and maybe 53, and the forth kit with aftermarket decals make the 2003 LM Larbre viper (not the 2001 because I bought decals from pattosplace. c o m for the 03LM). And with the S27 550 GT1 to make the two 04LM prodrive ferrari's with custom made decals I had someone made for me.

that's awesome. maybe i should try that. buy 2 of the same model and make sure the second one is twice as nice as the first :P

practice practice practice.
