Show Us Your Build

Hobby Learning Center / Community

Share a finished custom diecast car, plastic model, train layout, slot-car setup, rocket build or display project with Muncle Mikes. Approved submissions can help another builder understand parts, fitment, finishing choices and the lessons that do not appear on a product box.

What to include

  • A short project title
  • The display name you want shown publicly, or a request to remain unnamed
  • The exact product, casting, kit, set or project base
  • Manufacturer and part number when known
  • Parts, wheels, tires, track, scenery, motors, paint, decals or tools used
  • Your experience level for this project
  • Fitment, assembly or compatibility notes
  • One practical tip for the next builder
  • Clear photos of the completed work and any useful process details

How to begin a submission

  1. Email munclemikes@gmail.com. You can also find our email on Contact Muncle Mikes.
  2. Use “Show Us Your Build” in the subject or first line.
  3. Include the project details listed above and attach clear photos that you own or have permission to share.
  4. If your email service cannot send the attachments, send the project details first and tell us that the photos are available.
  5. State clearly whether MM has permission to publish the text, photos and display name.

Permission and moderation

  • Sending a project does not guarantee publication.
  • MM will not publish a customer build without clear permission.
  • Only submit photos and text you own or are authorized to share.
  • Do not include private contact details, addresses, order records, license plates or other sensitive information in public-facing material.
  • Submissions may be edited for spelling, length, safety, clarity and product identification without changing the builder’s meaning.
  • Unsupported compatibility, rarity, value, performance or historical claims will not be published as verified facts.
  • Unsafe instructions, prohibited activity, unrelated promotion, copied material and low-quality or misleading submissions may be rejected.

Where an approved build may appear

Depending on the project and permission granted, an approved submission may be shown in the MM build gallery, a relevant product or guide, the Collector Community, a verified collector record or the contributor’s Collector Workspace.

Photos and tips that help other builders

Photograph the full project, both sides where relevant, the underside or chassis when it explains fitment, and close-ups of modifications or problem areas. Tell us what you measured or tried yourself, and which details came from the manufacturer. Mention failed attempts or adjustments when they can help the next builder avoid the same problem.

Before submitting

Confirm that the project is complete, the images are in focus, the product identity is accurate and every person whose work appears has agreed to the submission. Keep original image files until the review is finished.
