*** Important message for wouldbe buyers and sellers on Ebay or anywhere else***
The key to a good smooth sale is COMMUNICATION! Especially from seller. As a buyer. Be sure to check out the seller before buying.
Buyer beware!!
Seems I'm not the only person that has had a problem with this person! This is from 2004. Check it out. http://www.chevelles.com/classifieds/report.html are there more out there? He has been kicked off Ebay
now. He does have cars for sale in ads in other places.
I am expanding my site. It will have 10 pages instead of 5 !! That will also allow me to put more
of your pic's on here. Send me some ideas of what you would like to see!
***I would like to thank all of those of you that use my site as a starting point for searching the
internet. If there are sites that you would like posted here. Please just let me know and I will
add them.*** I know that some of you have hobbies other than scale model cars. Let me know
by sending me a link and I will add them also.
Hopefully this site will help you with your scale modeling needs. As a modeler. I am always learning
new techniques by talking and sharing ideas and experiences with others. I will add links to sites that may be of help with model
buying, parts, tools, auctions, etc. This will be for diecasts also and I may add links for the real car builders as well.
Updates:
If you would like to have some of your diecasts or models on my site. Send me some pics! That way you can let
others see your cars. Doesn't matter if you are a collector, builder, customizer, or just want your favorite on here.
Send the pic's and I will add them on here. The more, the better!!
Lets start with 1/24th, 1/25th scale plastic models. I have built many of these. For me, the hardest thing is painting! Since I have
no paint booth. I have to spray outdoors. Either the wind is blowing, a bug lands on it, too cold, or it's raining. I also keep forgetting
to heat up the spray cans with warm water. Anyway once you get your model. You will need some tools. Parts nippers, brushes,
etc. Here is a site you can go to if there is no hobby shop near you. I have bought many items from them.
Micro Mark You will be glad you did. They have tools for all your hobby needs. If you need your chrome replated.
Try this site. Chrome-Tech U.S.A. For tips and tricks. Try the Scale Auto Magizine site. There you can get some good ideas that
others have tried but I think you have to enroll.
Now for detailing parts. I will just make a list for these sites. You can decide which is best for your needs. I have bought items from
most of them and had no problems at all. Check them all and compare prices.
Detail Master Model Car Garage
Scale Modeling by Chris R & D Unique
I will be adding more to the lists later. If there is a model you want but can't find. Try one of these sites. You can also find some rare
older models.

*** I thought I would pass on some info***
If you are planning to use fuzzy fur in your models or diecasts. I would recommend Ken's Fuzzy Fur. I have used both Ken's and Testors.
I will NOT use Testors again! It is too lumpy when applied and just comes out crappy looking. They need to change whatever process they
use to make it. Ken's on the otherhand looks great as carpet. Please remember! This is MY opinion based on my results as well as another
fellow diecast rebuilder!
For your 1/18th scale diecasts you can go to these sites. Mikes even has some replacement parts. Diecast Muscle has an auction page. To be honest. In my opinion National Diecasters has the better sale prices. But again, that's my opinion. They are all great people to deal with from my experiences with them.
Here are some quick links to Ebay 1/18 scale diecasts:
Here are some sites for the 1:1(Real Cars) builders.
Into older Funny Cars? Check out this site! Funny Cars
Here's a new site I just added. Check it out!
If you are into older Hot Rods. Check this site out

I visited Blue Oval Industries in Elkton Va. Very friendly people there.

Here is an interesting site! Are you old enough to remember the old Tether
