First Viper Models

[HotWheelz]

My wife bought me the GTS for my birthday. It was so much fun, she bought me another one for V-Day. These are the first ones ever ever done. The paint job on the GTS is pretty bad, but I got it right on the SRT. Enjoy.

Very nice. I'm too lazy to buy those. I just buy the models already assembled and painted

I have the re-occurring image of being retired some day, sitting at the work bench in my basement, building models like that. Then, my ADD snaps me back to reality and I just buy the 1:18 Burago model.

Nice work though.

I buy my maisto/burrago models and then mod them to my liking.

I also did an orange and blue (second pic right in the middle). Guess I'm going to have to do a graphite one since it's new for 06'!

They really don't take that much time...a couple of hours.

Thanks for the compliments. I collect the ones already assembled and painted as well, but it's nice to have some in the collection that are mine.

I like Viper GTS's idea...I may have to steal it

Look in my gallery for my Viper models. Not there but in my posession are: a nice Anson 1:12 yellow R/T10, one of the rare AutoArt 1:18 SRT-10 production version models in red, silver 1:43 AutoArt SRT-10, black HotWheels special edition 1:18 SRT-10 and 1:43 IXO Models Daytona winning red/white GTS-R.
Also, do take a look at my scratch-built 1:43 Roe supercharger (which got official approval from Sean himself)

Nice collection. I like the garage, where did you pick that up?

Not sure if you have a Big Lots close to you or not, but the one by me had this set and the red white gts for $4.99.

Thanks for the tip! I picked up the b/w set a couple days ago from Big Lots. They had the red/white GTS as well, but i didnt buy it b/c im just gonna put the box on display and the box is the same for both cars. I dont get into all the painting and glueing. Too much opportunity to mess up the car and make a really big mess lol

Your welcome, I'll keep passing the found treasure on as much as I can. I hope to own a real Viper one day but for now Ill stick with my toys.

The exterior doesnt need to be painted apart from the missing stripes on the front and rear bumper ya know Don't you know someone in the family who builds car models? I'd be happy to paint it for you and even swap in a custom Roe supercharger (NO not a real one, just the tiny 1:43 ), but I live on the other side of the big pond

By the way some time ago I picked up a very cool set of models at a local hobby store, both made by Revell.
Box no. 07386 is a White Mamba SRT-10 in 1:25 (note that the SRT-10 decal provided inside the box is silver instead of red ),

And box no. 7367 is a Shelby Cobra 427 race car with decals for either a green Feinstein Racing example, or a blue/white stripes Archway Ford (Balto, MD) car.

Here are two links so you guys can have an idea of what the box looks like:

I've always wanted to do models but I don't have the skill to do so
