I got a new phone recently, so decided to try and take some pictures of my 1:25 scale models. The quality of them is hardly the best (both the models and pics :p ) but ive worked up a somewhat decent collection in not much time.

Unfortunately, theyve been collecting dust more than anything lately.

1. '49 Mercury
2. '51 Bel Air
3. '57 Fairlane
4. '66 Nova
5. '67 Charger
6. '67 GT350

just wondering, are those diecasts or AMT/Revell models?

Theyre AMT/Revell. Around here, i can get them from about $25-40, depending on which hobby shop and whether i choose AMT or Revell. Most of the Japanese brand models are $50+.

As for the dustbin, thats actually my drying stand :p All bar the Nova are airbrushed, so i usually just sit the models there when they need to dry, out in the sun.

Thanks, are you sure that drying outside is the best option regarding dust collection etc?

Probably isnt, but i get quite impatient making them so i usually try and get a coat on every 30mins-1hr. My latest project i'll probably try take more time on though. I usually make them under an awning, and have an old concrete sink standing on end, which i can store different things in, and keep them relatively out of the weather.

The RX-7's finished, but it looks like the the colour didnt come out right in the picture. It looks like between the yellow-orange and the red, theres some lighter yellow there. On the model, its just the yellow-orange, red, and white stripes.

Started brushing a few more things today, mainly the suspension and engine details.
