DaytonaLover Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Here is my first model-- A 54 ish corvette. You can definitely tell that it's a first (it wasnt supposed to look like a gasser in the first pic). hardly painted it, hood doesnt really hinge, it has zero lights, and no windshield frame.
DaytonaLover Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) And my most recent completion, a revell 32 ford sedan. you can see one of the four link bars that just came off a minute ago. I completed this one a week or two ago. It was originally going to be gloss black, but the paint ran so i turned it into a (sort of) rat rod. Notice the shave door handles, hinges, and lack of mirrors. Edited July 17, 2013 by DaytonaLover
DaytonaLover Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) My current projects are a 68 vette and an 05 vette. Im a big fan of corvettes, my dad has had three recently. Edited July 17, 2013 by DaytonaLover

I was like ten when I built the old corvette, but i did build it with some of my fathers guidance (he did some building when he was in middle school)
drunknmunky Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 We all started somewhere. I'm glad you have the courage to post up your first builds because I know I wouldn't be brave enough to post mine You can definitely see improvements from the first to the second. Just keep building and you will learn what works best for you. Welcome to the addictive world of plastic. You're in the right place if you've ever got any questions.

DaytonaLover Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 Thanks guys! I have always been a sort of mini Chipp Foose, shaving mirrors and door handles and stuff. Since I'm not at the 1:1 level just yet I decided to compensate with models
Danno Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Keep 'em coming, Parker. Every build is a learning experience and they all get better and better!

That's definitely great enough!
Geno Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 You're doing well Parker. Keep plugging away and each build will get better as you learn new tricks and tips. I'm still learning with each build and I'm 50, lol.
