As a teenager, and even starting as early as age 6, I liked to build plastic models. At one point I think I had built every single 1:172 scale plastic model which existed. I built race cars, army tanks, HO scale rail-road buildings, and nearly every possible aircraft.
In fact, I had so many airplanes hanging from my ceiling with fishing line, that times you could not see the ceiling. A miniature Smithsonian Aviation Museum in the making - so, that's what I did in my youth, and I enjoyed it very much.
Why is plastic model assembling a fascination? It's just plain ridiculous to think of owning, say, an aircraft, vessel, lorries, engines or military vehicles in your own home. The best way is to purchase a scaled-down version, without the interiors.
"Plastic Modeling Kits" by Jack C. Harris, Crestwood House Publishers, New York, NY, (1993), 48 pages, ISBN: 0-89686-623-8.
All vehicles, both military and civilian, have been produced into scale model kits. Each brand name is obtainable in the market. Prominent brand names, such as Airfix, Revell, and Tamiya, have been popular since the 1970s. They serve the largest selection of plastic models. Various other favorite brands can also be found.
Aircraft scale models are considered the most in-demand variety. The military jets are the favorite of many, particularly the larger scale models. Next favorite goes to the military vehicles of all kinds and designs. Military models can be used in extravagant dioramas; dedicated modelers can produce life-like scenery based on photographs showcasing the models. Some have gone as far as building accurate scale warship models on turbulent waters. Dioramas are an enjoyable aspect of scale model kit building, and options for materials are numerous. You are only limited by your imagination and creativity.
Would you like to learn how to customize your plastic models once you are completed, there is a chapter on that as well. And there is information on how to win and enter contests, and where to display your plastic models where they will be viewed the most. You'd be surprised that museums will be happy to have your plastic models if they are done correctly, and you can even enter them in the local county fair for prizes and accolades.
