Plastic Models built with basics, plus diecasts.
Coffee table model car builds (literally). My builds are rattle can sprayed, detail painted, and my modelling tools are the most basic - files, sandpapers, detail brushes, and a few knives. Can I foil, airbrush, and purchase aftermarket parts? Absolutely I can; however, our hobby is already expensive as it is. My “bench” is my coffee table, my shop is the living room, and my spray booth is the outdoors. In all honesty, I wouldn’t be criticizing people on how they’re building or detailing a model, with the knowledge that I’m vendor plugging, or my wallet is simply bigger. I just love building kits, and I do so on a budget. Not everybody can afford the tech and aftermarket parts, required for top contest level builds. Plus, not everybody has the luxury of work space. My very first build was Revell’s 1957 Bel Air, glue bombed way back in 1974 - I returned to our hobby during the pandemic, after a 25 year hiatus. The actual roots of our hobby, is about us all having fun, and dreaming.
