Hpiguy's Model Workshop, Kit Stash, Plastic Models, RC Models

Here's a partial view of the workshop, painting area and kit stash. I left out the shelves of built kits and RC models, planes.
If you want to see a particular kit opened up and reviewed to get a look see, let me know in the comment section. I'll do a full review on parts and manuals.
For kit build ups of all types I encourage you to subscribe to ClassicPlastic101 channel. He does great work and tutorials on building and painting all types of plastic models.

[@CycolacFan]

Don't think I've ever seen anyone who literally builds every type of model and subject matter, that's great to see.

[@hpiguy]

I like it all, thanks man.

[@mariomeza3408]

WoW, what a collection! I was ones into the rc stuff but got expensive and once was a co owner of a hobby store.

[@johnwilliams7102]

Wow ! A veritable Treasure trove! Great organization. I was hoping you would give a tour of your shop ... as a new viewer did not know you had this in the archives. Impressive. Thanks !

[@joemilbrandt9320]

Like to see the 62 Impala. I want to do as many Impalas as possible. Thanks enjoy all your Builds.

[@petermerz2704]

Love the stash. Like you, I build everything. I prefer sci-fi, but haven’t done one in months. Saw the call out for you channel on Max’s Models, so had to check your channel out. Thanks for sharing. Happy days and model on! 😎🇨🇦

[@adambernier1155]

Rambo was not my first, Huey Hog was but......I remember putting The Rambo kit and the Tour of Duty kit together at the same time to make a formation from the ceiling lol. Every time I smell model glue to this day reminds me of a hot Wisconsin summer in the 80's. Love your videos!!!!!

[@tsarbomba1]

That castle would be something to see!

[@larrymartin8146]

The “General Lee” is a great kit. Have a few built and a few still in wraps. Also Petty’s Winston Cup car in the same scale is another great one. I have to many of those lol

[@johnmarkrussell6680]

I would love to see your collection of built kits.

[@richd9505]

Hello. I have been watching you for a year or two. I would like to see the room you keep the models that you have built. I love the way you make your cars look old and rusted. Thank you.

[@hpiguy]

There is no room. Most get stored. Thanks!

[@19babyjack55]

I am new to your video channel; I saw your delightful build of “Mr. Gasser” via the Atlantis Models website, and now I’m hooked! Love your whole approach here.

[@hpiguy]

Awesome, thank you!

[@iancameron1662]

You should do a vid on all the models you have done

[@TheScooby2011]

instant sub,for the kit stash alone,i enjoyed seeing that :).i have been away from modelling for 2 yrs,have nearly finished building a mancave,to restart building again.when i get it finished i may upload a video of my stash,if someones enjoys looking at my kits as much as i have enjoyed watching yours,that would be cool. thank you for sharing this :)

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching, enjoy your hobby as much as you can!

[@mightylonesome9426]

Would love to see your finished kit collection. I bet It takes up a large size room. The Revell 68 Mustang is my favorite Mustang kit.

[@alensley1368]

I'd like to see one of the older AMT NASCAR kits. I have dozens of them unbuilt and I remember opening one and the trunk didn't seem to fit very well. Love your channel. Rick Salvino has gotten my back to building since he came out with some of the new Petty kits. I'm working on a few practice kits since I haven't built one in about 15 years. Love to do NASCAR models. I have 125+ kits I've collected so I guess its time to get back to work. Thanks for your cool video's.

[@wwkdiecastmore5647]

Love this channel, thanks for all the reviews! If I see a model I am interested in I always come home and see if you have reviewed it. One question for ya, can we exchange homes! LOL!!

[@SkyrayModels]

Great stash and work area,i built the Robert E Lee last year and put it in a water diorama and added lighting,it was a great kit, very rare to find one here in the UK.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@andrewkearney6228]

Hi Cris, Jake from R.I. I noticed you spray paint with your right hand and detail paint with your left hand. I am all left handed.

[@TexasJeff64]

I have built a bunch of the wooden wagon kits, they were a blast to build.

[@hpiguy]

Sweet!

[@timothygray6031]

Tamiya Toyota Brusier is that an original issue from 80s always wanted one of those finally got a Super Champ thanx for sharing awesome collection

[@hpiguy]

It's a re-issue from 2007 or so. The newer issue.

[@edwardperry4226]

Love the old mopar

[@williamaviles2647]

Nice workshop. Great place you have.

[@Roadhog0822]

Awesome kit stash welcome to the community my friend I like them all so whatever you want to show I will watch them

[@hpiguy]

Thank you. I have two open box reviews up as of right now. Feel free to take a look.

[@tomlappin9657]

Thanks for the tour..very cool..and gave me some ideas on how to store my paints and supply's I also have some of these kits in my stash as well .thanks for sharing/ T

[@hpiguy]

Thank you Tom!

[@danielbritton8588]

I love the Paashe H model airbrushes. Siphon is a pain with bottles but using that airbrush is so easy. I do not clamor over double action. Many times singe action is very trustworthy. Especially painting fish in taxidermy. Trout is aggravating with a double action.

[@modelrailroadingunlimited20]

I would like to see you build and especially paint the Raybestos Thunderbird... I am learning so very much from watching you... I have used an airbrush for years and never knew how to rattle can a perfect paint job like I am learning from watching you... Thanks ever so much for your expertise...

[@hpiguy]

You can watch any of the dozen or more stock car builds I've already done. They are all the same underneath, only the body changes on those. Have fun!

[@bobpratt8224]

Nice collection..

[@stebo59]

Chris would love to see you do a build on the Diamond Reo truck. Love your work and your models my friend. Keep up the great work

[@hpiguy]

Maybe one day!

[@bblaze202010]

the days of thunder series is great, loved the movie. would like to see those kits...

[@danielmiller4492]

Wonderful shop and collection. I've been trying to find the magnum pi Ferrari for years. Can get diecast but it was one of the first models I actually painted well and detailed when I was a kid. Been trying to find it again

[@hpiguy]

Very cool!

[@damiandamian2553]

Been watching some of your work and learned something new. I'm in the Southwest and dig the Boot Hill Express and many classic Show Rods and Customs . Doing the Coke Machin and some Zingers currently.

[@petethescalemodeller6130]

Awesome collection , thanks for sharing buddy :) wish my stash was this tidy haha , take care keep modelling :)

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@RJDCR]

nice work space....and some real neat kits....Rock onnn Chris Robert ps I would like to see that 1/12 Camaro , review / build......

[@hpiguy]

I'm glad you took time out of your day to watch and comment! Thanks!

[@thunderbird885cc]

I enjoyed this one . I was specifically looking for a video on your setup

[@s1Obomb]

[@rogerwachal3718]

[@robertafay9198]

[@Merylstreep1949]

Please do the moebius Herman and Grandpa kits and the large scale Petty stock car please. I remember that Testors Hemi was expensive when new ....you are lucky to have it!

[@rayst.pierre4499]

I wonder what your stash looks like lately,nice!

[@nedwhite2524]

It's great you have dedicated work stations for your hobbies. Also I didn't see in any of your past videos or in your stash any 55,56 or 57 Nomads have you ever built one or are you planning to in the future?

[@averagemodeler]

very cool stash and work space.

[@hpiguy]

Thank you!

[@stevenbongiorno9277]

The Bruiser would be a cool kit to see open

[@craigwest8386]

You need my Billing Boats Calypso kit for RC. Huge, beautiful scale model. Multi media.

[@BibleStudyReview]

Would love to see you do that Pro-Modeler 69 Charger! Purely selfish reasons- I have one that I am going to build a General Lee with. I would love to see an update of what your stash looks like now!

[@briancarsen6315]

Wow wow wow! LOVE your stash of cool stuff. I'm kinda envious of cold buster , Subaru brat, and especially the bruiser! My first rc car was a tamiya frog. Second was a hotshot. Super fun kits to build and really a BLAST to drive! The frog was super fun car for a 13 yr old kid in a Podunk town Beulah ND. A few of my friends got Blackfoot, grasshopper, copycat got a hotshot 4wd. Them are fun kits! I should have got the 1/16 petty car and general lee. I'm doing the revell 49 mercury in black with the flame dekals. Do you think the decals will snug down over the louvered hood with some markfit setting solution...Or just use the non louvered hood? I'd like to see your build on that kit and it's custom. Fit and finish are nice 14 yr girls have built em up.

[@maxbrandt6]

I'm liking that mpc kit of the Police Patrol Car, gotta find me a copy and put Gotham PD markings on it!

[@gatblau1]

Yeah that’s a cool kit. I built it when I was a kid and recently bought the re-issue. It’s pretty simplified but fun.

[@michaelmaciejewicz7534]

I don’t have close as many as you do Chris I found on E Bay the parts I needed for my Mack R365 ST build I am on the finals now

[@ModelManTom]

Subscribed! Your studio layout is well organzied! That's a great variety of subjects you have in your stash. Boats and ships are something I have not approached yet. As you said, who doesn't like an old-time paddlewheel?

[@hpiguy]

Thanks! I have a review of that paddlewheeler up as well now.

[@kevinchapman635]

Nice collection. I’m looking for the ( orange blossom special ) kit from the 80 s The 30s Chevrolet truck had it once Never put it together

[@Duececoupe]

Almost look like my stash, besides those modern Nascar thingmajigs, my Nascar interest ends about -70/71, I'm a total old school in most things.... Anyhoo, I've got tanks, aircraft, helicopters, ships, big rigs, cars....my favourite to date is Merit's USS Yorktown CV-5 in 1/350, needless to say, I'm eagerly awaiting the same in 1/200! Yip, I'm USS Yorktown (and USS Coral Sea CV-43) obsessed! Definitely gonna get a B-Wing and a Y-Wing at some point! Wisconsin, eh....Milwaukee Road country! 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻🤘🏻😍😎 Using a couple of old '57 Chevy's as testbeds, trying different acrylics....one is in grey and gold metallic, loved it, could even use the Vallejo thinner without any problems! Too waffling about, I'm keeping you away from your building! 😉😆😂

[@ralphmiller986]

They say admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery 😂 that said I would love to see that Munster mobile . Thanks

[@jerrylindsay3751]

Hi its Jerry from hamilton Ontario Canada. How about the 1 16th scale general Lee. I have one that I haven't built yet and some ideas from you would be great. Thanks Jerry

[@BibleStudyReview]

Jerry Lindsay ditto

[@MikeJBlues]

[@jimsmodelcargarage3196]

I would really like to see a review and build of the yellow Buick GSX. Thanks.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

I bought a set of 4 air brushes from a well known shops Amazon "store" a few years ago. The air brushes range from basic to highly adjustable, and, they're all re-branded Pasche (spelling ?). The set also came with that exact "compressor" but with a different name. I use the brushes often, but, never used the pump. What I did was buy a Harbor Freight 3 gallon "pancake" compressor for $40, then, I did a little "plumbing project" so that I could use it for my brushes as well as my brad nailer. Basically, I built a manifold with a standard 1/4" quick coupler on one end and the 1/8" air brush regulator/connection on the other end. It works great, and, I have under $200 invested total, including the brushes. I even got $20 back when I sold the other pump to a friend after he got tired of paying for "canned air" for his air brush. Also, I'd LOVE to have one of those Lil Red Express models to display with my real one!

[@hpiguy]

Cool!

[@jeffk3037]

Do a 68 charger,Barn find style. Flat tires and dirty. That would be pretty sweet

[@KrookidKustoms]

Dude I would love to see the chopped t kit 3 in 1 that builds two cars

[@MrModelworx]

Chris I'd like to see a kit review on the polar lights 1/25 Talledaga nascar, I've always wanted to see what come in that kit.thanks

[@josephmilbrandt5322]

I have a 1967 Corvette 1/8 scale MPC model ( possibly 1/16) and have been looking for that kit. Any ideas? Just found your site and I am starting to feel younger already. I live in Southwestern New York and there aren’t many model shops in the area. A hour trip north t Buffalo would probably be my best option. Thanks and again I am enjoying your videos. Joe

[@hpiguy]

I've never even seen one that big in person. I know they exist but I haven't sourced one. Thanks for watching Joe!

[@give-nofacts420]

49 merc wagon! Please build that car 😁

[@redcastle12b31]

I'd love to find a 49 Mercury kit. My dad had one when he went into the military in the 50's.

[@hpiguy]

I'm sure they are floating around Ebay, etc.

[@jacobeakright6387]

Would be cool to see some kit bashing with taking parts from one kit and another one to bliud one

[@Tarakasper1012]

Would love to see where you put all the finished kits

[@alconk7129]

Thank you for sharing!

[@jeremystrickland7767]

[@hpiguy]

Thanks as always! 'Like' the FB page for the channel and join the fun if you haven't already! facebook.com/hpiguysworkshop

[@ToddHLHG]

Awesome stash!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@danielbritton8588]

I have many kits for nostalgia sake. It is 2022 now. Do up those RC planes & fly them. Eventually disaster will happen & they will all crash & become trash & spare parts. Freeing up some storage space. Stashes are cool. Like dragging the hobby shop home. I have kits for ideas I don't want to pursue any more. I have an itch to do the 1/125 Blue Devil Destroyer. I have 200 stash kits but, I still want to buy that Lindberg kit. Another nostalgia build as my brother did one way back. I have it but, it's a wreck.

[@Darryl603]

Did they ever produce a "corvette summer" movie car? Thanks for sharing with us...

[@bobrobinson2587]

I'd like to see the Kenworth W 900. Maybe the Diamond Reo too.

[@anthonyfogleman8652]

Can you do a review on the 1973 richard petty dodge charger 1/16 scale? Thank you Nice models!

[@hectorgill328]

Any chance taking a look at the Super Clod Buster. Thanks again.

[@hpiguy]

No plans on that any time soon, sorry man!

[@Calatriste54]

Really like ICM (1911?) Roadster with Ghost couple. I see ICM has a large selection of cars, do you have any more?

[@hpiguy]

They will be sending more kits as we go along. This video is quite old.

[@glennhoopes9764]

Waiting to see you build the munster' s cars

[@RDMash]

'70 Buick GSX, I'm into Muscle cars and would like to see you detail and build that one :thumbs up:

[@earlharman2040]

I’d like to see you do the Kenworth W 900. Aerodyne by Revell. I have that model and I’d like to see you do it first.

[@dkae92]

Is there any armoured truck kits? Or is there a armoured army vehicles you would recommend to convert to one?

[@NorthernMuck06]

Could you also build the 71 plymouth cuda with the 426 hemi? I have the kit and I don't know how it will build

[@georgerogers614]

Do you sand between primer and paint or just one over the other?

[@leomaida7414]

I would like to see the MPC Dodge Dart Sport built

[@docb.9908]

That '49 Mercury Wagon would be neat to see.

[@michaelandrew4488]

Older vid but if you have some time would like to see that Atomic Cannon kit please.

[@martinsimon4025]
