  1. Wow! Everything looks so good and glossy! How did you make every single piece shine? Because every part I paint, the color turns out dull.
  2. Sup Dave! The ferrari is a Revell, and you should definetely start building it soon! It looks really great once you're done with it. The engine is the best part to make too
  3. Thanks! Actually, the Ferrari was pretty easy to make, just kinda took a long time haha. Thanks for the painting tips! They really came in handy!
  4. The instructions said to paint the viper blue, but that's such an ordinary color for a viper so I wanted to paint it green! (idea came from the game Need For Speed Most Wanted, Jazz's green viper ) Wish me luck for a successful model
  5. Woot! I got the pics! This is just a practice, but anywas heres more pics hahaha The hummer was my 2nd model, and it turned out pretty horrible... bleeh! ANyways, thanks so much for the great advice! I will definetely go out buying some clear coat! And thanks for everyone kindness and dealing with my noobishness
  6. Thanks for the tip! I have tons of Elmers glue somewhere in my basement Just one question i had was that I was looking around and saw many different kinds of model cars, but I find that most good ones have like a shiny touch to it. When i paint my model cars, the color is dull and flat. Others have a metallic kind of look and I am wondering how you guys get your paint to be like that.
  7. Well I managed to get some pics in, but it will only let me post 2 pics at a time . Here's some pics! Advice + Comments would be greatly appreciated!! Edit: Im trying to post more pictures, but it says that I already used 1.76MB of 1.95MB in only 2 pictures!!!! I'm pretty sure I saw others who could post more pictures.
  8. Thanks Brendan for the great advice. I went to my local Craft store and got 2 more models, the Viper and 70 Chevelle from Revell. Hopefully these will turn out better then the other 2 cars I also just got a new digital camera from the Black Friday sale so I will try to get pics of my cars. (hopefully) I know what you guys mean by Enamel paints being a pain!! They are!!! They take forever to dry and smell pretty bad. I also had to hand paint the chassis and body because i cannot afford a Airbrush + air compressor and all the other materials I need. One question i have is that i use Testors Enamel paint right now and when i try to switch colors (still using the same brush) is it possible to take out the paint on the brush? I have only 1 paint brush i can use and when i try to switch colors from red to black, there would be a hint of red in my black paint!!! I tried washing the brush with water, soap, and just about everything, but still the paint will not come out!
  9. Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. However, I'm sort of confused on what you mean by painting the parts when you need them. If you need a part and paint it, would you have to wait for it to dry? Anyways, I'll try my best to get some pics in however it might not look so pretty compared to some of the cars i've seen in this site hahaha This is a great hobby, and it's really fun to do when you're inside.
  10. Hey guys, I'm new here and just joined yesterday. Well hello everyone. This week is thanksgiving and i basically have no school for 1 whole week! I would probably be outside riding my BMX bike, however weather did not allow me to do so... So i wanted to do something inside, and decided I should try to make a model car. That's when decided to get one. Recently, I bought a Hummer H2 Model and a Ferrari Enzo Model both from Revell. I build the Hummer in a matter of 3 hours. Nice and simple. However the Ferrari was quite something.... My main question was that how do you guys paint your parts? The Ferrari basically came in many MANY tiny parts. I have to build the engine, suspension, and almost everything, and it was all overwhelming. Today, i literally painted every single part, from engine parts to wheels, and i numbered them and placed them on a peice of wax paper to dry. I put the number next to the part so i remember which part it was. It took me about 10 hours or so..... my main question is, is there any other way to paint it quicker and more effeciently?
