the fact that, in real life, i'm very limited in what i can drive/afford. in the modelling world, i can build and own whatever beasts of desire and fantasy that i want to!

I have to agree with S13_Iketani
 You can pretty much own anything you desire in modelling!!! Plus the challenge to make your model look like the real thing

 Rather a smart arse..... The real answer....because I love cars, especially rally cars, so it gives me the chance to have my own 'garage' full of cars I like.

Ooooops.....i guess i should answer my question
I mostly try and build cars i'd like to own. I get a real kick out of turning a pile of plastic into a finished model. All you guys here are a real insperation also. Some of the work that gets posted here is amazing and makes me want to keep building.

Apart from the facts that i have build quite a few (unsuceessful) models when i was much younger, i'm a newbabe in modelling (only finished 2 S15 models so far). But i'm really attracted to the modelling world because:
1. I love cars! 2. I feel very happy and satisfactory that i can make those plastics bits and pieces into a shinny model car. 3. It gives me a good chance to use my own createtivity to paint, modify the cars i like into what i want it to be. In real life, it will cost a lot of $$$ (my S15 still has stock wheels  )4. This forum!!!!!!! i was really amazed when i first saw (and still even today) the pics of model cars you guys built.. some of those car models you guys made are just AMAAZZINNNGGG. I would want to be able to have your skills one day (still a far way .. but i'm learning and imporving everyday thanks to you guys ) oh Thanks Tazdev for letting me know about this forum!!!5. I love cars!!! (have i already say that before?  )There are a lot other reasons but these are the main reasons. Richard

am a converted science fiction modeler
these car models are much easier to modify but can be very challenging at the same time. inspiration is always out there... everyone is tuning their cars. currently, what keeps me in car modeling is... well... trying to finish my bucket of polyester putty that my buddy gave me! my first mod on a car model was inspired just by the presence of the putty! i see all these really nice customized cars and i just had to try it. i'm learning pretty quick so that's a good thing... keeps my confidence up and willingness to do more. plus there's you guys who just keep pushing the bar higher and higher... inspiring me to do more and challenge myself to achieve more oh... and above all else... trying to achieve the perfect mirror finish! a.
