model building

[wonderboy24]

Is that including paint materials too? I know I'm at $50ish with the model, paint, and model tools since it had been years since my last model build.

yep.thats the model, 4 different engines,paint, brushes ect. still need to find headers. witch will be another motor kit lol.

Looks cool. If I could ever find a Monte Carlo model that wasn't an SS, I'd love to build one.

I actually saw an 86 Monte euro kit once years back

I had the non Aero SS years back, have an Aero SS waiting to be finshed, saw an MPC brand '81-'85 base Monte about 25 years ago.

Check out the bottom post on this thread. Looks like someone is working on a replacement nose for the SS model kits....

I think, whether they want to admit it or not, it's every car guys dream to have an exact replica of their car in minuature form. No matter how old you get, it's still fun to drive it around on the floor making revving noises. I think for mine I'm gonna have to piece together a couple kits. Like an 85 GN or t type for the body and wheels, and maybe a GSX for the engine. The 455 Buick looks almost exactly like the 350, and in miniature form it'd be almost impossible to tell. I have some left over engine paint, so... Long term goals though. I'm fine enough with the real thing for now.
