One of my old builds

[stitchdup]

Hi there folks, this is one of my old builds that i recently found in the loft/attic. I built this about 14 years ago and it is box stock. I must point out it is not deliberately weathered, just really dirty after so long in an open box. The pictures are just as it came out of the box and i do have the snapped off wheel and hood but i'm not sure if i want to re-attach it or not. I may leave it as is for now, because it was the first model that i was pleased with when i was last building.I know its not perfect but even as is it reminds me of a time in my life when building models was therapy for me more than a hobby. I would like constructive criticism on it though as it will help me with my future models.

yeah I think you should reattach the wheel. looks great otherwise. is it painted or is it just the white plastic? kool find.

Sometimes keeping a older build is really cool. You could build another one and display together..

It's painted with Humbrol enamel over the plastic with no primer. I think your right, re-attaching the wheel would make it display better, but i don't think I'll wash it. I kinda like it dirty. I just need to practice getting that effect for another build i have planned in my head. I have another of the kit built as a low Overhaulin style build on Torque Thrust style wheels but its going in the rebuild pile. It hasn't aged too well as I built it before i knew to remove the paint where I'm glueing. Ah well you live and learn
