First time modeling

[WayfromSmoke]

Hey guys I’m new to modeling and building an AMT lighting. I jumped into it full force and it’s slowly moving forward I molded the rear(still cleaning up) and bought a iceman v1 frame… I’m going to do away with most of the sub chassis that the model comes with and use sheet plastic to go under the body … I also had to use the “engine cover”🤣 so the height of the intake wouldn’t be a problem i have to trim out inner fender on the front still and the suspension is just mocked up not glued…any and all advice is welcome and yes I know I’m over my head for my first project 🤣🤣

Welcome to the forums Johnathan. That is an ambitious initial project, but you will find everyone here very helpful. Just ask and someone will eventually chime in. One bit of advice I can give you is don’t get too hung up on making everything perfect. Just try to improve a bit with each new project.

Edit: Check out the “How do I search for answers already posted here” in the Q&A section.

Thanks! Figure if I get ambitious on this I’ll get all mistakes done🤣

Welcome to the hobby! The main thing is to HAVE FUN! Each build is practice for the next one.

I applaud your guts for jumping in both feet. Don't get discouraged if you make a mistake along the way, remember it's just plastic and you can always change it. I do it all the time.

Over the years I've come to like building modified pickups and other customs best myself so I'll definitly be watching and cheering you on. 👍
