Dr. Cranky Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Emily, I agree with all the praise, the first thing that strikes me about your model, for being the first you've built, is how clean and well put together it is. Congrats. May you model for many more years and enjoy every single moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr moto Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 WOW! That's a beautiful job! With a start like that, you'll be building contest winners before you know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randx0 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 nice job on a difficult color and the assembly looks good too! So what is next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 That came out very nicely, Emily. You made an admirable recovery from your first paint-job. I've had more than a few go like that, and I still have one happen like that every once in awhile. It's like your schoolwork- the more you practice, the better you become. Focus on building your basic skills and try to pick something you want to develop each model you build...painting, detailing, and so forth. I had to stop doing most of my building for a long time due to life, when I was able to actually start doing some serious building again last year, the kit I started to work on (and still finishing up,) I decided to focus on the basics- good paint job, detail painting and neat assembly. I also decided to relearn how to use my airbrush. The results have been pretty good, I just need to foil it, touch up a couple spots and I'm done. Keep at it.

Foxer Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Extremely nice build, though, it can't be you're first..it's just too clean a build!!! Very good job ... I think you're a natural for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael1969 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 This is your first. It took til model ten or twelve for me to be brave enough to paint the model. You are starting out great. Just like everone has said, the more you do the better you get. Great Job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Kern Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Very nice build there, Emily! This really brings back good memories of helping my daughter build her first model. She only stayed with the hobby for a little while, but it was just neat to see how satisfied and proud she was when it was finished. I also hope you continue on with building, who knows, you may just be the next Shannon Dimaulo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyn Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Emily, That is absolutly beautiful! I may have to send you a few PM's when I finally decide on a model for advice...........

Custom Hearse Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 AWESOME work Emily! My first model was such a glue bomb that it was embarrassing... I look forward to seeing your next build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayC Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 You've got something to be proud of for your first model! I wish my first model looked that good. Now, over a decade since I last built a model, I hope to restart the hobby. I hope my first model in a very long time looks at least that good! Keep up the good work!

roadhawg Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 You know, everybody keeps saying that this better than THEIR first build.....PFFFTTT! I think its better than a lot of the stuff I build TODAY! What impresses ME the most is you didn't give up when the paint went bad....you FIXED it! AWESOME! I've seen a lot of experienced modelers get frustrated over less that that! Very well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
