....bump.

Does anyone still build models?

I managed to snag a NOS Tamiya McLaren MP4/4 kit a couple of years ago. Brand new sealed almost 30 year old kit. I haven't had time to even start it yet...

I used to build models in my teens but then sold like 60 of them for 40 dollars. Totally regret it. Could have used them for parts! Now I collect 1/24 scale diecasts and build dioramas and sets for them. I want to start getting into photography but just too damn busy!

Here's my latest diorama that I made.

Hope the plastic is still OK. I had one of those but by the time I went to build it the plastic had turned into something with the consistency of sugar. Had to throw it away.

If It’s that old you’ll probably want to think about how old the decals are too. There’s a product called liquid decal film to keep the decals from disintegrating. I found out the hard way when I built the Mclaren...

BUMP from the dead.

Does anyone still build these in their spare time?

Anyone recommend a place locally where I can buy kits and supplies?

PM Hobbycraft is pretty obvious but the prices are a bit more than everywhere else it seems and I also would like to go to a place with a large collection of detail-up parts and transkits for 1/24 import car models.

There's a bunch of guys in here that'll steer you in the correct direction. Bunch of them do regular sales of overstock/bulk kit buys too.

Modelland and Action Hobby are probably the only two other choices in Calgary. For actual kits, best bet is to order online if you want something specific. For supplies like glues, paints local are comparable if you need something on the fly.
