Vintage and Military Model Car Kits: Start to Finish

1. Vintage and Military Model Car Kits: Start to Finish Model cars are unique pieces of art, to say the least. They have been in existence as far back as one can remember. These scale model kits are the replica of actual cars. You may look at some of the fine art pieces that are model cars and wonder how they are made. The assembly of model car kits to make the final model cars is an intricate process that is a mix of skill and artistry. In this post, we look what it takes to make two of the most model cars; military model kits and vintage model cars. These are a specialty of Wespe Models, a modeling company who have mastered the art and have become one of the leading scale model car builders. Vintage Model Cars Construction Vintage machines have a way of taking us back in history, making us get in touch with art in its raw and untamed state. Having a vintage scale model car has almost the same effect. So, how are they made? First things first, we get all the vintage model car kits on a sprue tree, which is basically a skeleton of the car. Each and every individual car model has its own kit. Each part has to be fitted precisely to match the original cars. The parts are then glued together. To give it the vintage touch, some models are sanded a little. Just like that, you have a part of as far back as the 1930’s with you. Smaller scale models such as the 1:8 take a short time to put up which larger scale models have to be more detailed and so take a tad more time. Military Model Cars Construction We all love a military theme. It gives us that much desired bad-ass side. For those who have not got the chance to experience the military first hand, military model cars come close giving you the idea of what actual military vehicles look like. Equipped with all the ammo (not live of course), these pieces of art are a must have. The thing about military scale models is that they have the smallest scale, up to 1:500. It is understandable, though, since most of the military machinery is huge, ranging from military trucks and jeeps to destroyers, tanks, and Humvees. How are they put together? You may ask. Well, here is how. Just like their vintage counterparts, the parts have to be categorically organized and put together to build the models. All the parts are attached to the spruce trees before being trimmed and painted in the military colors. Finally, the models have to be brought to life, and what better way to do so than by applying decals. These usually flags of countries and the medical flag for medical vehicles.
