LMDAVE Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) Started this project as a trial since it was my first "car" model, but had other modelling experience. Made a few mistakes along the way, like not to use CA (super) glue for window parts. Clamping the finished body on the finished chassis is a pain. Hoping the use of BMF for the trim will be easier than this EZ chrome I was using. And didn't even notice until I took the pic under the hood that the driver side suspension bracket must have popped of. All in all, I'm satisfied. I built a small scale garage for picture taking. Now, on to my next project. Edited February 9, 2015 by LMDAVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rv1963 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Good work Dave, you will get better. What's more important is that you had fun and learned a few things in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMDAVE Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Thanks, and yeah the garage will be an ever evolving thing. I feel I'm getting way to into this now doing a garage, but it definitely provides the perfect background for pictures and lighting with leaving the top open. Here's an update picture already after adding a door and some banners/posters to the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom Mike Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 She looks great for your first build Dave, and like I said in the build thread, keep it around as a measuring stick against your future builds. You'll be amazed by how much you improve with each successive build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Truby Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Every model you build is a learning experience. Have fun at it, enjoy and cherish the progress you make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
