Anyone on here into plastic scale model cars?.I used to be really into them when I was young,I used to build nothing but 4x4s and pre-runners.My son and I just built one the other day and I started looking on the web for some cool ones and these are some of the ones I found:

That red blazer is a cali, hawaii or florida rig for sure... You don't see the ridiculous wide wheel thing anywhere else... 


It takes a lot fo time to make something truly nice, those don't look bad at all.

Those are sweet! I have a Chevy that I lowered somewhere. I have about 60 models & about 1/2 are new & have never been opened. I have had them for about 8 years.

tamiya makes very scale models cars... also make some awesome scale r/c cars too

[Cheesemaker]

That takes me back.  I've got a bunch of model cars still in the boxes.  I loved the hot rods and el caminos.  Grandpa and I would put them together, but he was more into the WWII era models, ie. battleships, tanks, and such.  He would get really detailed and tell me how they were set up in real life.  Good times.

I just bought a 77' Datsun Pick-Up with Rockwell axles model off e-bay.I had one when I was younger and I wanted to build it with some regular off road tires and my Dad made me build it with the monster truck tires it came with.This was in the 80s and I've been looking for one of those kits for a couple years now and finally found one on e-bay,in fact I found 3 of them.

Good stuff Peps! Now I gotta take some recent pics of some of the stuff I've built.    I have mostly lowriders and muscle cars but I do have some pretty cool 4X's I haven't built yet.  Even got a sweet right hand drive 4Runner...

There's a couple of places over here in So-Cal that stock them,there's also a standard cab long bed model and a 4-Runner and 2 wheel drive lowered mini truck versions too.They're Japanese models so the instructions are in Japanese (Maybe BigMike can help us on that one,although I doubt they have a 3RZ swap for them   ).If you're really interested in getting one Dan,I'd contact Pegasus Hobbies in Montclair,Ca ( http://www.pegasushobbies.com/gal_cars.htm  )...They have them in stock,if not I'm sure they can order them.
