vancouver71 Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Hi there, I am not a native english, so my english is not perfect... i am 28 years old, and I always wanted to build cars (model cars) so 3 weeks ago I decided to buy my first one, Dodge charger 68' Revell and I finished the car this morning. I made so many mistakes, but I learnt a lot... First I did not primed the body because I did not want to spend 15$ in case that I do not like this new hobby... so I painted the body with a brush and acrylic from Tamyia (lots of traces on the body) I also only bought few colours to start, it is pretty much black there is also paint marks on the windshields... Inside, I undid everything because I glued the seats in the wrong spot,I was not able to glue the doors.. After all,I really enjoyed...I spent almost 3 weeks on it. If you guys wanna leave a comment,I will appreciate it. Next week I start a Ford Pick Up 56'... thank you for your time. Mickael
1930fordpickup Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Great start, we all make mistakes so do not let it get you down. You will get better as you go . Don,t worry about the paint for the first few kits.

PappyD340 Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 WELCOME to the forum Mickael, I think it looks real good for a first build, hang in there the more you do the better you'll get!!
peter31a Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Welcome, Mickael! Good start. Keep going. It is by doing that we learn. And take advantage of the experience and advice here on the board.
vintagedragcrazy Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 welcome mickael i'm new here too. about your build if you had fun and you like it that's all that matters everyone has to start somewhere and i think you did a fine job hey who doesn't love a mopar!!!!!! keep up the good work and enjoy!!!!!! vince
Pete J. Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Nice build for the first try. One thing I have learned after years of building is that each mistake is a lesson. The lessons continue until they are learned so don't get frustrated by the mistakes, just look at as part of the education.
