Into other expensive hobbies ?

Anyone here build models anymore? About two years ago I was thinking about getting back into balsa wood airplanes.

What about slot cars, like the kind Jay Leno has?

I build models. Besides my R/C aircraft, I also build plastic kits. Mostly WWII armor and the occasional dragster/funny car.

This thread really took off !

Since people are showing full sized cars.
Here's one that I've been working on. Going to shortly be my daily driver
And...no, it took a long time to get this way, it's not going to get repainted ! The interior, under the hood is nice, as is the fresh engine, trans. and rear end, but the original paint, stays as is.
