Late 1965 or maybe early '66...IMC Ford GT. I wuz 7 years old in 66. My Dad gave me sum tips on assembly, glue useage and such and how to use an xacto knife but I did all the work myself and as I recall it didn't turn out half bad. Now my Dad explained to me that after you finish a model yer supposed to put it on a shelf and just look at it. Of course to my 7 year old brain this idea of looking and not touching wuz ridiculous...I built it, I'm gonna play with it. So my first build didn't last that long but it wuz fun.

Show Us Your Work Bench
Mothersworry replied to Bruce Poage's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
My little shop of Horrors...posted before but perhaps some that haven't seen it might find it useful. Built the shop in 2018 in anticipation of retirement (2020). Ikea Kitchen cabinetry wuz used throughout. I also maintain a storage unit that has sumthin like 1200 to 1500 or so unbuilt kits (kinda lost count after the last collection I bought). Entrance to the shop, some of the more interesting kits (vintage) on the shelves, the door is fer a supply pantry. Resin goodies stored between display cases. Secondary work bench in the foreground to the right. Paint booth with compressor located in sound proofed cabinet below and manifold mounted to the right side of the booth. Secondary work bench in the foreground to the right. Main work area, airbrushes and related stuff in drawer below paint Booth. Drawers to the right contain various painting supplies. TV mounted on wall, drawer units above contain resin bits and goodies, photo etch stuff, detailing parts, decals and abuncha other goodies. "In progress" kits on shelf below. Secondary work bench...this is where the messy stuff gets done, Dremel work, soldering, polishing, metalwork, etc. Cable driven hand held tool holder controlled by a modified foot pedal...can take the Dremel down to 0 RPM. Ultrasonic cleaner fer cleaning resin and other stuff and Dehydrator on the bench as well. Closer shot of the main work space, currently playin around with a '63 Galaxie lightweight. Creating a Bostrum seat master fer Kevin to cast up. Supply pantry...I like to have spare stuff. Opposite wall in supply pantry, can never have enough paint...sums good, mores better, too much is just right. -
Let's see your paint storage system
Mothersworry replied to Monty's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I store my paint in drawers to the immediate right of my main work area, organized and labeled fer easy access. I keep a tray with the brushes that I use most often along with mixing cups, some alcohol, mixing stick, and various cotton tipped swabs on the right. I also have various thinners and brush cleaning bottles on a tray that is stored out of the way until I need it. -

Some very nice models, but it seems this Threads gettin a tad off topic...supposed to be about replicas of real Hot Rods and Customs that actually exist/existed in full scale. Just sayin... -
