sheena Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Hi all,brand new to all this.I've just started to build my first model car and it's quite fun. I know this an odd hobby for a woman but I needed something to tinker with while home and I'm doing a fantasy car so accuracy of scale isn't a big deal and I'm hoping I can get creative but until I get some experience I'll be sticking to just getting things right per the instructions. I'm having a heck of a time getting the transmission to stay lined up with the engine but I'll keep playing with it. Hope to learn a lot while I 'm here and thanks for having me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxer Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Welcome to the most helpful forum around, Sheena. Just ask and you'll receive 3 ways to do everything. Hope you got your transmission mounted ... most parts are keyed in better, but not always. Do not be afraid to post photos ... all levels of builders post here.
