TransAmMike Posted November 29 Posted November 29 Hello Kelly and welcome to the forum from another 70 year old. For just now taking up model car building you're are doing quite well. That's really nice paint on the Chevelle! Keep up the good work.

Since my first 2 I have watched a lot of videos and wow you all do some amazing work! I’m doing this to get me off my couch since two big operations in the past 2 years My little sister comes over often and a few months ago she slapped me around a little (haha) and told me to get started and so here I am!! Thanks again. Kelly
HankinWisconsin Posted November 30 Posted November 30 I'd say you're off to an impressive start! Very nice Kelly!
Trainwreck Posted November 30 Posted November 30 Hi Kelly, first I'd like to say pretty nice work for a newbie. If could offer a little advise I would suggest cropping your photos to show only what you would like us to see. Other than that I'd say you're off to a great start. ✌️
