Mattsteel85 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I'll start by saying hello to all my fellow model builders since this is my 1st post... Both models are made by Revell! Been about 15yrs since my last so I'm still a beginner! Well that's what I consider myself! 70 Dodge Challenger 2n1 67 Chevelle Pro street
maltsr Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Two nice, clean builds :). Welcome to the forum!
Mattsteel85 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 Thanx man I'm really pleased with how they came out!! Def caught the BUG!
Mattsteel85 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 70 429 Mustang (grabber blue) w/ white interior coming soon!
StevenGuthmiller Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 For someone who considers himself a "beginner", it looks like you're a very quick learner! Get yourself some Bare Metal Foil for the trim & a polishing kit for the paint & you'll be running with the "big dogs" in very short order! Nice work on all of them! Steve
Mattsteel85 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 How easy it to apply the foil on trim?
Mattsteel85 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 And yea I consider myself beginner when I see people Chopin up cars and making custom rides doin all the wiring and brake lins
StevenGuthmiller Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 How easy it to apply the foil on trim? It takes a little practice but it's really not difficult once you learn the basics, & maybe a few "tricks of the trade". And yea I consider myself beginner when I see people Chopin up cars and making custom rides doin all the wiring and brake lins I've been building for nearly 45 years & I still don't do a lot of those things. All depends on what you're interested in. You can build some very nice models that don't even have engines & rudimentary chassis, with a little attention to detail. If a high level of mechanical detail is what you crave, go for it. Personally, I like to focus on external details. This '59 Dodge Royal Lancer has no engine & a flat chassis plate with absolutely no detail, but it can still make a nice shelf build. Now, if you're into the mechanical stuff, you could go nuts on this one with some "donor" parts. Steve
花火 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 nice work Matthew. I like the color. BTW Steven's pink car looks awesome..
Againmikewins Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Those two builds look great! Sounds to me like you are in the same boat I was in 3 months ago when I decided to start building again after a long time away. What brand of paint is the grabber blue on that Mustang?
Mattsteel85 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) I got the grabber blue from megahobby.com, a model masters 2700 series rattle can Edited November 18, 2015 by Mattsteel85 Hit send by accident
darthsideous Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Beginner? Don't think so, those two cars look fantastic! Good job!
