Tired of building the same old kits? Matthew Quiroz (Red 4) found the answer! Here he tackles Tamiya''s Accord PIAA racer - which provides fresh challenges and a breath of fresh air for all of us burnt-out on OD (or RLM 02 in my case...).

Thanks!

I haven't had a chance to read this entire article but what Matt might not mention is he did four or five of these kits in a few days! Matt really has to get a life, the rest of at the IPMS club meetings were wondering when Matt ever slept.

These look even better in real life than these pictures show.

Thanks for the kudos guys. Rodger is giving me more credit than I deserve. I just happen to have more time to put into building than most folks. While I do build fast, I have learned to slow down a bit with these cars as they aren't as forgiving as tanks are. Hard to fix things with the ole' mud and pine boughs method :-) Hopefully I'll get a couple more features put together on the other cars I've knocked out here lately. Thanks again. "Q"

Excellent feature. Very enjoyable reading.
I'm glad you got hooked on cars. We've seen some great models from you Matthew.

Hi

Great article refreshing approach to modelling problems like burnout etc.

I have approached warships for the same reason as Matthew and it has reenthused (is that a word?) me as well.

I also have some car kits to do as well and taking on board the advice in this article I will build them with the same goal in mind.

Well Matt, ya said you'd do it and BOOM there it is! Nice article.
One thing you don't mention is the super-detail possibilities that a larger model offers. I know that after building some N Scale stuff, I'd go to 1/35th and think "This is huge!" and then moving to 1/25 it seemed humongous! Therefore making all the "little" stuff on the cars very "big" indeed.
It really does alleviate the 1/35 blahs.

Awesome!
