AMT 1925 Ford Model T (first model in 10+ years)

[drpndstroy]

First a little background story about me before we get to the pics. It's been at least ten years or better since I've touched models, that being said

my skills are rusty, my talent (or lack there of) is poor as i was young back then and most of them were just glue bombs and I was quick to lose interest

with every kit i started when i first got into detailing them years ago. So this will be the first of what i hope to be many projects to increase my knowledge

and modeling skills. I've got several other "old" projects I want to pick back up but i chose this AMT Model T kit to knock the dust off and actually

successfully complete one without wasting an entire "tube" of glue ( I used to use testors now i use Extreme Power thin and medium CA ).

Furthermore I was in a severe auto accident back on Christmas eve 2011 and video games kinda ran their course and now I want to stir the modeling

nerve again so that i can achieve my end goal which is building a Fox Body Mustang Coupe to match my 1:1. But enough blabbering about my past and

on with the show...

Smoothing the firewall gap

Carved the tires and filed the wheels both from different kits to get the style I wanted for this particular build

Painted the motor

Primed the body

Wrapped the headers and then Sharpie'd/painted them

Painted the Body with a custom mix

painted the carbs and wired up the plugs (the wire scale is way off but I'm just getting back into the hobby)

Kirt-

It's looking good so far, as are the projects in the background (Love that crew cab dually), but you have to change those spark plug wires. If you are like me you'll always wish you had.

Later-

I'll leave this one as is just to get the hang of detailing until i can order the right scale stuff as my local RadioShack doesn't stock 30 AWG wire. I'm not going for perfect on this one i just want it clean and completed...that's why it's not getting any drastic body mods or anything. now when i get started on my fox body coupe EVERYTHING will have to be perfect. this one will be ok though it's just for me to practice stuff like wiring and braided hoses and what not. it's pretty much my learning curve. I hope to get as in depth as Romell's 67 Chevelle when i do my fox body mustang

Great build so far. I, too just got back into models after an injury. Your skills are still there! Lets see more of that bodied dually..
