Out of all the models i have modded and sold on ebay the most one went for was £82,mk 2 Escort i even made the plastic end caps on the rear bumper like on the RS2000,now not trying to be a big head but so far i have not seen that done anywhere else.I have decided that anymore models i mod im doing just to keep.

i think he got some1 else biddin on them,most of his models are wel over £100.
he says he spends hrs making them which is bollex i think.he needs to spend more time makin the sun strips wider as on some cars they dont reach the edge.& the wheels dont even sit right on tha cossie,just look at the front 1's.bottom stick in just like alot of them.

We all share an interest in modding our models,either to keep or sell on to make a bit of profit to then fund more,anything is only worth what someone is willing/happy to pay,i would like to buy modified models but choose not to pay the money they go for,regardless who makes them or how good/poor they are as i enjoy doing my own,some models appeal more to one person than others.Lets enjoy doing what we all do,i applaud what all you guys achieve what ever level you reach

I do them as its a hobby, not a business or to make any money. Ive never sold any of mine. I may sell one or two as space is getting tight. I would rather make my own aswell. Then I can say 'I did that'. None of mine are perfect (except one or two matchbox ones) but I dont care. Ive done them to the best of my ability with the resources ive got.

Some, I do have to say, are fantastic. The work that goes into some (Im thinking of that Rieger Escort Mk3) is just brilliant
