Several models to date ChristopheB

Hello everybody,

I am a newbie. I have been learning a lot on this forum since I came back to the hobby two years ago. I am still learning and would like to share with you some of my work to date.

Here is my first plastic model: Revell 70 Mustang Boss 429 1/24. Built OOB just added tire markings (Shabo).

The second one is Renault 5 Turbo Rally Tamiya 1/24. I am from France and I have been in Florida for 3 years now. I guess after building a muscle car I needed a french car. Built OOB just lowered the car because it was really sitting too high.

And then I wanted to build another american icon for us frenchies: a nascar. It is a Monogram Ford Thunderbird Nascar 1/24. I liked the "Batman" theme. Built OOB + wiring on engine.

And finally, last in date is my favorite american car: a Mustang. My wife allowed my american dream to come true by bying a 1/1 Mustang V6 convertible:smooch:. The model is a Revell Mustang '07 GT Hertz 1/25. Added wiring and pegasus rims.

It is not perfect, as I said I am still learning but I hope you like it.

Comments and critics are welcome.

very nice work, you should post some build up threads of your future work.
I'm really liking that shelby mustang.

Steve

Thats a really nice collection you've got there. I really like the mustang in the Hertz colours

Very nice.

And yes, we love work in progress threads here so the next time you start a kit, take a few photos and post them up.

Nice work!!! They all look great!!! Love the Hertz with those bigger rims!!!

Nice collection :bigthumb:

I'd like to see some pics of the Mk1 Golf you have as avatar, did you build it?

Salut :wave:

Bonjour la Belgique!

The MK1 Golf that you can see as my avatar is a bit off topic here since I made it from a 1/18 diecast Solido.

Here are couple of pictures though because I have some pictures of the work in progress:

Thanks for all comments. :)

I will try to show you some work in progress threads but I am a slow excited builder: I may have at least 5 models started at the same time and I jump from one to the other as I make progress which leads to slow progression overall...:frown:

Thanks for sharing these, for a newbie you sure build them nice. The finishes are excellent. Great work.

That is not a problem.
Well, actually, I think it is a problem... and one that many of us here share.

I have more than 10 that have been started sitting around me.

Thanks for the pics, you're really talented :thumbsup:

Those two stangs are sweet!!!

Also, that golf is amazing!
