I tried that in highschool and I got half-way done with one but I was getting so pissed because I would paint the pieces before I glued them together, but the glue would take off the paint or make it really tacky when I tried to put the parts together. But if I glued first then I couldn’t paint some of the smaller parts. It took too much patience for me. ---

I do have a pretty decent collection of 1/18th scale Die Cast cars/trucks. Basically, since I can’t afford all the real cars I want, I just get them in Die Cast. Got about 25-30 so far. ---

They can be had premixed from TCPglobal for a very reasonable price. I still used a tamiya clear on the model cars out of a can for the clear. ---
