RodneyBad Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Very Excellent first build. Like alot of people have stated b-4 It took me a dozen models to get better. Now I'm on my 13th Great job. Isn't it fun to be here?
Corvette.Jeff Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 That looks way to good to be your first model! mine was a primered glue bomb Also welcome to the site! Emily,hmmm that sounds familiar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXPuI9pYzZc

Peter Lombardo Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Great first build, but you must be very careful now.....Just like cigarettes, there should be a Surgeons General warning on each kit box….â€warning model building has been shown to be addictive, habit forming and dangerous to your weekly disposable incomeâ€â€¦Oh what the Hey, keep it up anyway. Great first effort.
DrOlds Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Great job.. my first kit, i had glue all over the windows.. Very impressive. As for your next kit, I just go by what grabs my attention, which is usually more than one... I'm sure everyone on here can say that they have a small or large collection of kits stashed away somewhere... But keep us updated with whatever you choose.
beefheart22 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Looking good Emily. Candy Apple Red is definitely a good color for a Mustang.
Chuck Most Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Wow! I've been building for just over two decades, and few of my models look this good! Seriously! My first one sure as HECK didn't look like this... though my first model was a Mustang (Monogram Snap Tite Fox body). Great job, Emily!
disabled modeler Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Hi Emily, VERY NICE!!!! you have done an excellent job on the mustang! and being your first build cant hardly wait to see the next one..........very impressive work! mark
ChevyFan Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 I have to agree with roadhawg. I'm still having issues building kits this good. My first kit had glue everywhere and was hand painted. In fact most of mine have been hand painted, and I'm now rebuilding them. Keep up the excellent work.
Tony T Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 I don't have anything else to add that hasn't already been said! Very nice first build! Good luck with choosing your next build, and be sure to post it here!
seeker589 Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Emily - That is one fine first model! It took me a long time to get my stuff looking anywhere near that nice. Keep it up - just like everything else - the more you do it the better you get! I'm not sure how old you are, but on a related note - I met a couple not long ago that came together in college because they realised each one of them build model Corvettes as children while growing up. They are both Doctors now and own a collection of 1:1 Corvettes.
FordWagonNut Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Simply awesome work Emily. My first model melted from the paint....... Looks like your a natural at this!
ale8oneboy Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Emily! That's awesome. Keep on building. Not many can say their first model was as nice as yours!
wgflatliner Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 everything i'd want to say for praise has already been said. my first model was the old chevy lumina nascar.. the dupont jeff gordon vehicle, which was a level 3. apparently i was a little ambitious! my paint job was terribad. mix between terrible and bad. your model looks absolutely amazing for a first one. as a tip, when you get your next model, i have learned a pretty good technique to get all the wheels straight. What i'd do is place the model on it's side with the body not attached yet, and balance the chassis between two heavier objects so that way it stays straight while the glue dries. here's an example of what i mean: i would love to see more builds!!!
