Newbie question

If you can stand it, try the froum at Scale Auto Magazine, just follow the rules and you'll get along fine.  Then there's www.automodelling.com, more European, but a lot of fun folks.  Many more available, nothing like a little first hand research though.  Drop in at a Chrysler dealer, they may have a Viper to look at.  Stew Hansen Dodge in Des Moines, Iowa used to have several in their showroom (Stew's personal collection), might see if they have a website.  Best advice, build what makes YOU happy and have fun with it!

Here's a good site that I stumbled across-good reviews, galleries & tutorials.

 http://www.briansmodelcars.com/home

Hope this helps & good luck with the Viper-post progress pics!

 

Another good source for auto modeling and forum is here at http://modelcarsmag.com . Great magazine and thier on line forum is awesome...

if you get a chance, try   Index BMC  lots of tutorials on that site

www.italianhorses.net has some very good tutorials as well

Another real good one that has some great builders for members and quite a few really good tutorials is the Model Car Mafia's board. http://phxcarmodelers.proboards.com/index.cgi?

 It has been a little slow the past few weeks, but if some new people got on there and post some questions and pics of their models. The regulars are always checking in and will reply. Just go through the post and see some of the stuff on there.
