Best part is finishing one and letting people se your work. Its funny, when you look at a new kit your like, man thats alot of pieces. But when you finish it, its cool to see all the pieces and your hard work come together into something you can be proud of.

same. also having an unique model that noone have make is great too (modification)

the worst: When it's all finished.. and while polishing you reach the primer or drop a bit of paint on the body and you need to start all over !

also reaction with some paint is a pain... sanding sanding sanding

Did you just ask a question and answer it yourself?

Best part is when nothing is glued, worst part is when the car is finished... that's when the fun stops. I take my time on my models because I enjoy the building process, not because I like completed models. It's like saying " The best part of racing a car on a track is when you finish the race..." Driving is more fun than finishing .

the best part for me is seeing it all coming together from a heap of parts and turning into something beautiful, like a huge metamorphosis, the finished product ends up taking up less room too! what a two in one package hobby.

IMO the best part is finishing the model and having it turn out exactly as you wanted it too. But I enjoy building every part of the model.

Does searching for the model count? It is not part of the making process, but I enjoy it too.

No the BEST part of building a kit is getting high on the glue/paint fumes!!

Joking!!!!

It's when you finish it and people see it and say 'Hey that's good where did you get it?' and they look at you in total disbelief when you say that it was a model kit you build yourself!!
Especially when they're such a Ferrari F1 fan they offer you £125 for the F1-2000 you've just built!!

I like painting the body and kitbashing the most.

Making those corny "VROOOOOOOOM" noises when you're finished.

Seriously, it's the enjoyment and pleasure of finally owning the car (or truck) of your dreams that you would otherwise not be able to afford in a lifetime or two.
