64 Pontiac My first build finished

[10thumbs]

Hi Matt, congrats on your 1st plastic model build.  Man, a '64 GTO brings back memories.

If you don't mind, what really distracts me is the closeup pics showing a shiny flake, like on the interior shots and along the dash and door frame.  Granted, this is a small scale, but this can still be dealt with.

Really good is the idea of a well done opening door, showing an interior just as I remember.  The Pontiacs were a nice ride and had great quality interior enhancements....even better when they had a potent motor.  They ran very well.

Great model, well done.

Thanks everyone! 

 I had a lot of fun and learned many things from building this kit. One thing that I learned was to be sure  that everything fits together well before painting the body and other parts that match it. On this kit I had to rebuild some parts of the door frame after the body was painted. I should be able to iron out some of these problems on my future builds which are sure to include a few more of my favorites like the older Pontiac and Chevy cars.  It seems like a good hood hinge is needed on some of the kits I have looked at. So just for fun I may work on a hood hinge that opens and holds the hood up on its own.
