stitchdup Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 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.

jbwelda Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 yeah I think you should reattach the wheel. looks great otherwise. is it painted or is it just the white plastic? kool find. jb
slusher Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Sometimes keeping a older build is really cool. You could build another one and display together..
stitchdup Posted November 2, 2014 Author Posted November 2, 2014 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
