Was wondering, any model car freaks here?

I started collecting scale 1:18 models a few years ago. Later when I became more interested in the Viper, I felt that the details aren't good enough for me, so I also started modifieing them... Today I'm building custom models for lots of Porsche, Ferrari and other owners, for instance from the ViperClub or for model enthusiasts from all over the world.

Here's a model I did for the german VCA.

In a few months I start a red RT for a member of the UK VCA.

Here's a picture of the VCA president's car I'm working on at the moment. Rebuilding the whole interior. Everything based on a 1:18 scale Bburago GTS Viper model.



This is a Venom 800 TT Viper I'm building for a guy in Australia.



And here's the engine of one of my Vipers...





Here's my full model list... All scale 1:18

I collect model cars too, but I have about 52 models.


Thats really cool what you are doing to those vipers though!

i used to build models back in the day, but i've kinda lost the time and patience

the detail is rediculously good. Nice Work
I now really want to go and buy a new model

I've Got a good size collection, but building them tends to get old.
I usually just buy the maisto etc. 1/18 cars, but have found some outstanding ones for cheap. Most notably, the Beanstalk Group Ford GT. (I reccomend this model to anybody who loves this car ~$45)

quite the hobbyist. how much do you spend on this?

yay you have a delorean
