ModelManLHT Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Hey guys, I am new to modeling, After wanting to get into it for I'm not even sure how long, this is my 2nd finished creation. Feel free to leave any Negative/Positive criticism, trick, tips, anything at all. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Welcome Logan. First off try using a camera with a macro setting for some better pics. It looks like you had a real idea in mind for this and you did well. To avoid fogged glass in the future just use a white Elmers glue. Above all take your time, spray paint (airbrush if you got one) everything (brush paints are usually for detailing only) and clean up every part before assembly. Flash, ejection pin marks, mold seam lines. Above all enjoy yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Like the other guys said, welcome to a great hobby, and listen to their advice. You're in for a lot of fun and a sense accomplishment. One small thing.....a '32 Ford like you've got here is a roadster, which usually, when talikng about ANY car, means something with a convertible top, a windshield that either folds down or is bolted to the body (not a welded-on frame), and side-curtains instead of rollup windows. A coupe is usually a car with a metal or at least, a hard top. '32 Fords come in 2 main flavors of coupe, 3-window and 5-window. There is also a cabriolet (sometimes loosely referred to as a 'convertible coupe') that is a cross of both types, having a solidly-fixed windshield frame, rollup windows AND a convertible top. Again, welcome, and keep on building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModelManLHT Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 Sounds good guys, thank you so much for all the tips and pointers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Pugh Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Just to embellish on what Bill said (and because pictures always help me).... 3-window coupe (back window and 2 door windows): 5-window coupe (back window, 2 quarter windows and 2 door windows): And then the roadster: (I didn't really need a picture of a roadster because that's what you built so you already knew what they look like but I found one with a pretty girl. JUST COULDN'T RESIST!!) :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
