Shawnmcouturier Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Hey guys, I just finished my first model. By your standards it is probably not very good but I think it’s ok for a first try. Any tips are appreciated. (Don’t hate to much, I am only 12) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovefordgalaxie Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 If it was supposed to be a new car with shiny paint, then it's not good. If it was supposed to be an old weathered car, it's awesome, specially for a first try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge Driver Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I've see 1:1 Hemi Mopars that look like your model. You have captured the appearance of the real ones very well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 This just what a car looks like if it's left outside in those Michigan winters. Well done and welcome to the forum.

Greg Wann Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hi Shawn, Great job. That is very cool. My only suggestion is to be able to make the tires appear to be flat. I really hope someone here knows how to do that. That is a detail part I could resin cast if I had a good master part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt Tuttle Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 When I was 12 I had been building for four years already and none of my builds looked even close to this, very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
