Plastic car models

I used to enjoy putting together plastic scale models. I subscribed to scale auto enthusiast magazine and dreamed of building scale models like the ones in scale auto enthusiast. I never achieved my goal of building that great model.

I wanted a spray paint gun so I could paint my cars, but I only had bottles of spray paint for the body of the cars and I also had little bottles of paint and some brushes for the smaller parts of the cars like the engine and hubcaps.

I had I think three different kinds of glue. I had nontoxic glue that came in a tube, I also had the toxic version of the nontoxic glue. I had some quick set glue where I would hold it for 30 seconds and the plastic parts stayed together and it would dry in I can't remember how many minutes. Another type of glue I had was some kind of rubber cement I think. One type of glue I did not have that I wanted was quick set epoxy which I think is suppose to dry in five minutes.

  1. Your comment about car modeling certainly was unlike your screen name! Glad you liked our title; we're still around, serving the car-modeling community. Why not come on back and give us a try? We're getting ready to celebrate our 30th anniversary, so it's a great time to re-up -- and maybe we can get your glue "issues" taken care of!
