Introduction
Some people restore and collect full-size automobiles, filling their garages with sports cars or antiques. Some people race in the Indianapolis 500 or at Daytona. Other people collect or race miniature replicas of these and other cars-hobbies that present their own special kinds of artistic challenge and competitive excitement.
Getting Started
The hobbies of building static models, assembling a valuable collection and competing with racers involve many thousands of people around the world. Hobbyists of all ages get started by utilizing the services of organizations and associations of model car fanciers as well as guidance from numerous other sources.
Plastic Models
It was not until the 1940s that crude plastic kits began to appear on the shelves of hobby stores. Now, after great advances in the formulation of plastics, great detail is possible. There are simple kits for young children and kits sophisticated enough to test the skills of even the most experienced modeler.
