Look at the end for the updated pics and such....
I'm still new to the custom Joe thing, I'm used to making things look a little.... well different... I dont know how many of you build model cars so I thought I would share some of the one I have done. I dont have many good pics of then as I just learned how to use my dads nice SLR digy camera only recently. I have been building them since I was 7. Since then I have finished about 200 cars, have another 150+ in the works and then another 200 still yet to start. What can I say, I love cars... Pic #1 This is a AMT '94 GMC Sanoma I started about 3 years ago. It's been modified with parts from a Civic, 90 S-10, '95 S-10, and scarp plastic... Lots of work to go... The other one is a Aoshima Nissan Terano (Pathfinder in the U.S.). It's just been converted from a 4x4 to a mini truck that you can barly slide a Dime under.. This is my Tamiya Casotrol Supra... Nothing really speacal, just about 100 decals... ugh... But look sweet in person... MY Revell '65 Impala... This one was fun. Wire wheels on a beat, rusted, and muti colored heavy Chevy.. Made for street beater class for a show about 5 years ago... I'll post more later

Those cars are sweet. I especially like the Toyota Supra Castrol version because it reminds me of my Gran Turismo 2 days. I also like the work you have done giving those old clankers rust. Now that is some talent. Keep up the good work and try your hands on some Joes if you are into that as well. If not the figures then definately have a go at the vehicles.

Nice. It's been years since I've done one. I used to glue pieces of thread in place for spark plug wires. I've got a couple of models in storage that I intend on assembling one of these days. Very excellent detail on those.

Nice, I love all the rust and damage. The one thing I never liked about model cars was how shinny and perfect. I can'r wait to see what you can do to a Joe.

Just so you guys under stand how this all started... I got my first one at 7, worked at a hobby shop when I was 18.... I was into it like some of you are in to Joe's... I had at one time over 500 car kits... It's now done to about 250 ish...
This is a pic of most of them I have now, but not all... Going back in time.. Made this when I was 8.... I made it like my dads truck thats in the back ground, it was still nice back then... '80 Datsun truck.... A '40 ford dad made in 1963, I restored for fathers day and the same '40 Ford kit he made, I built as a 9 year old
