Me too! Mostly Monogram and some Testors kits. I hated AMT/ERTL (models were junk.....nothing ever fit). I would hand paint the interior and engine and even made engine wires. Anyway, 1989 and 1990, I won 3rd and 2nd place at a model mall contest. If remember serves, my 3rd place was a Pontiac Grand Prix Turbo (I made the HUD out of a 3rd brake light out of another kit) and my 2nd place was a 1990 Lexus LS400 (I used bare metal foil for the chrome area of the car, I guess the judges liked that....). It was great fun (patience too), but I haven't made anything in YEARS............ plus I have no room for all that crap. Which reminds me, I have most of them in my parents basement somewhere....... gotta dig them up one of these days.
I used to build legos back in the day (80s), but they really didn't have much as they do nowadays.
