  1. Mark, you know I picked a set, or I think you do. You helped me in my other thread about what company to go with and then I asked for opinions on the '55 Chevy Bel Air from Revell. Everyone says it is a nice clean kit and should be a good starting point. BTW, it is the new tool kit not the old one
  2. I live on the Eastern most tip of the North Fork of Long Island. Unless anyone knows of a hobby shop before Riverhead I dont have one within an hours drive!
  3. I definitely can do that. I will break it down into a list! Skill Level: Minimal (I have done 0 models) Accuracy and Detail: What I mean by this is replicating real life cars as closely as possible without going into modding of bodies etc. Simply paint and decals. 6 Month Goals: To be able to construct and paint/decal a life like 1:24th replica car to decent detail (decent: paint will have probable marks/scuffs, decals will not be straight, engine and accessories might not be perfect) 12 Month Goals: To be able to construct and paint/decal a life like 1:24th replica car to great detail (great: paint will be near flawless, decals will be straight, engine and accessories paints to detail) I know this is still very bland but it is something.
  4. I need info on all the things one would need for his/her first model car build. Accuracy and detail is the key here so lets hit up a bit more than just the basics. Middle of the road starter set per-say. Thanks, Ryan
  5. I think I will purchase this Revell '55 Bel Air and do my first kit. Now to choose colors, brushes, and everything else under the sun I will need!
  6. Thank you Mark for your response it helped a lot. I DO NOT want a curbside kit as the point to my starting this is accuracy and detail. So I appreciate the help!
  7. This will be my first model car and I thought about starting with a '55 Chevy Bel Air. I was wondering what the best company to buy from for this particular vehicle would be? Any insight at all. Detail and Operational-ness (not a word?) are the main points I am looking for. Price is really not a problem! Thanks, Ryan PS. Yes this is the revell model just used to show what I am looking for!
