So I'm on my first model car build... And I just painted the body of it yellow. But the problem I'm having is that it wont SHINE It's very flat looking. I want that enamel-ey shine, see yourself in the reflection look. How are you guys accomplishing that? I got glue on my windows. And I'm pissed off. How do I get it off of the windows? Which skill level do you suggest? I'm mostly finding myself into the painting and design of the vehicle. But I also like the small detail building of it. I've been working on a level 3. What is the biggest scale available for builds? Any other tips for a newbie?

I just have to say, thank you everyone for your support! It's been a battle, but one that I'm proud to be winning. I have group meetings 5 times a week, NA meetings 3 times a week. But, ever since I've been working on my '68 Dodge Charger, it's not as overwhelming. Just installed the glass today. It doesn't look as nice as the ones I've seen on here, but I'm learning some tricks along the way.

Hey there! My name is Nikki. I am 22 years old...and I'm a recovering drug addict. I started doing meth a while back and got addicted. But now I'm in a recovery program. This last Wednesday, I found myself really anxious and nothing was helping. I wanted to do drugs. Well - I FOUND SOMETHING EVEN BETTER I got my very first model car. A level 3, difficulty. I found that when I was on drugs, I used to tweak so bad. I would clean grout or try to get every nook and cranny of the kitchen vent hood. It was always about small detail. And sure, I can still do those things. But needless to say, I don't feel as driven to do them. No sane person who is sober ENJOYS those tasts. But, with model cars, I can ENJOY building something, feel accomplished and fill the need to "tweak". I couldn't be happier to have found this hobby.
