Anyone else here like to build models? I'm not a huge hardcore model building person but I do love building gundam models and lego models (shh don't tell anyone ^_^). The more pieces and the more intricate the better. I just built a perfect grade gundam model kit that took me about 13hrs and I loved it. Anyone else like to build any other types of models?

I'm surprised you guys wanted to see them. Well here are some pictures. The first picture of the internal body work I took from the net though because I didn't want to take off all the armor because it's way too much work and I honestly forgot how some of it connects ^_^

the two gundams I amde were not constructed like taht at all, they didn't have the inside structure, just the plastic outside, which of course led to them always falling down for having no strength at all to hold them upright.

Ah LEGO I grew up with it and still have most of my bricks. There's galleries online of pieces made by LEGO builders, some quite intricate.
One of my favorite builders: http://www.ericharshbarger.org/lego/portfolio.html (http://www.ericharshbarger.org/lego/portfolio.html)
There's also Brickshelf (http://www.brickshelf.com/ (http://www.brickshelf.com/))

I used to do models but I don't have any digital photos of them because that was almost 20 years ago. I did an F-15 with my Dad and a bunch of Star Trek ships myself. I think my favorite of the Star Trek ships was set called the adversary kit which had a Romulan Warbird, Klingon Bird of Prey and Ferengi battle cruiser. Why is it that the bad guys always have such cool ships? I actually took the Star Trek ships (I also had several Federation ships) and hung them from my bedroom ceiling using tacks and fishing line.

Just Bumping this thread cos I love Building Models, I have done a few Airfix etc and Enjoy the Intricate Lego sets, but the real fun for me is in the Freestyle work using Balsa wood etc
when you come up with the concept design and build yourself, Boats, buildings what ever you want really, I find it very engrossing and therapeutic, anyone else tried this?

I used to make model air fix when I was younger wish I still made them they're so fun!
-
I used to have a few gundam models. Dont know what happened to them now.
I have a massive collection of lord of the rings miniatures. I used to play warhammer as a kid but now I only play lord of the rings. You have to build and paint stuff yourself. I find it very theraputic. Some of my models are bellow.

Yep.
Currently trying to decide on which version of TARDIS to build and trying to find accurate plans - so not totally freestyle but not kit either.

Anyone scratchbuild model ships?
-
I would like to learn how to build model ships
-
So would I. Haven't taken a stab at it yet - was looking to see if anyone had any advice but it doesn't seem to be an overly popular subject :wink:
-
Yeah, it is pretty quiet!, I've been trying to find a club for it over here.. But no luck!

I used to build a lot of gundam models when I was a kid. I also had tones of Lego vehicles and those old bionicle robot figures. They were the best. Wish I could find the original figures. Be a great reminder of my childhood.

I do a fair bit of model making. Old battleships, ocean liners and star trek ships are generally what I build, as well as HO trains
