Prince Ital Mike Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hallo everybody! Summertime is a bit model building unfriendly season for me as the weather is forcing me to do things like mountain biking, visiting music festivals etc.So I decided to share with you my very first model car build, the 55 Ford F-100 Street Rod (Monogram). I bought this kit to use the body for my 1/24 RC car, but when I opened the box, there was that smell and I was thrown 20 years back (I produced airplane glue bombs as a kid) and simply could not resist to finish it. I am very thanful for that as it meant a comeback to this beautiful hobby. It was a first one, but I tried some techniques like wiring the engine (looks strange, the wires are hanging in the air), I flocked the seat and did some foiling (using very weird foil from the RC market). I didn´t take care about the sink marks that time. I decided to leave everything as it is to remind me my first attempt on this field. Thanks for your attention and as always, your comments are very welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
