Six years, 6,000 handmade parts and 15,000 hours of labor. That's the short story of this fully-functional miniature 1932 Duesenberg SJ phaeton. No wonder the builder was recently named Metalworking Craftsman of the Decade.

During our last installment of Model Hell, ParkRNDL added a photo of a beater-o-riffic 1:25 scale GM F-body in one of his comments. Obviously, talent such as this must be shared with all!

One advantage Model Hell has over Project Car Hell is that you can fit a lot of the little suckers in your garage. How about a vintage, unassembled 1972 AMC Hornet funny car kit? Yeah, you need this one!

Not long ago, I dug up some old photos of the 1958 Volkswagen Beetle that launched me on the primer-and-junkyards automotive path I've taken to get to this point. Now look what's happened!

I managed to avoid adding the Revell Gaga and the 1:16 scale first-gen Civic to my Model Hell Garage, but this one is proving even tougher to resist.

Model freaks have been ruining their eyesight and huffing glue fumes with Model Race Car Hell since the Barney Oldfield era, but what about models inspired by the fastest-growing race series in the world?

While it's a bummer when an Enzo goes up in flames, at least a few hundred remain. Not so with this '53 Willys Aero prototype model, which suffered Death By Inept Packaging.

After the agony of the already-sold '75 Civic kit last week, I figured I'd find a Model Hell kit you can still buy. This one ain't cheap, but that's what makes it Model Hell!

Once I started looking at those 1:32 scale Dekotora model kits, I knew I was in danger of being dragged back into the cruel, eyestrain-inducing vortex of Model Car Hell.
