A review of plastic Architectural vehicles

Introduction

These car models are from a shop on ebay who sell 1/300th architectural cars very cheaply and in 1/300th scale. I brought 100 which was the minimum order size!

They were all painted up the night before a convention so I was a bit rushed and I didn't have a big range of colours with me. I plan to paint some more in different colours and also convert some to station wagons and SUVs. They are made from plastic and are easy to cut with a knife. Since the car models are pretty generic I wont try to guess the make/model of car!

Sedan

This one came up nice with a paint job and I managed to paint 4 headlights on it! You can see the sunroof but otherwise they are pretty plain.

Another Sedan model

A good shaped car model without a lot of detail, but for the price who can complain. They were softish plastic and were easy to scribe more details into the car (you can just make out the doors that I scribed onto this model).

Sports car

This looks a lot like a late model Porsche 911 to me and it is a nice model. You can make out the spoiler on the back. The only thing I didnt like was that the wheels look too small and narrow, so I think I will have to pimp it!

The first batch painted

As you can see, it is quite easy to create different looking cars by painting details such as headlights, taillights, bumpers, grills etc, It should be easy to add some more details such as a plastic strip to make a taxi or police car.
