Why, oh why did I come into this damn forum...

Now I have to go buy a model kit tomorrow. Thanks a lot! Im going to go broke now. :swear:

I guess I figure I can draw the damn things, why cant I build em?

Anyway, any suggestions on what my very first model in like 10 years should be?

I want to do something custom...

I say what ever car is your dream car. Like me I love datsuns so I went out and bought revells datsun 510.

It's best to poke around the shop and see what strikes your fancy...
I get some of my best ideas that way.

Browsing the completed and in progess section of this board might give you some ideas too.

:p

Start of with something simple like a Tamiya Skyline/ EVO/ VW to get the basic's right first.

:evillol: You have come to the darkside :evillol:

Glad to see you here, its good for you to wander out of S/D and COT every once and awhile. Cant wait to see your progress thread!

Notice all these people are suggesting imports. Get a damn street rod. Lets see, '32 Ford, '26 Ford delivery, '36 Ford, '37 Ford, '39 Ford, '40 Ford Street Rod, '40 Mercury, '41 Willy's, '49 Merc, '53 Bel air.

Most of those are made by RM which is good to start off with. Im going to pick up a '37 Today.

I was looking around in my Dad's old model stockpile and I found one of my old ones I must have picked up at a garage sale. Its an old M325i BMW. It looks pretty sweet. Im not sure of the year, but Ill post a pic and maybe someone on here can tell me. Anyway, Im going to head up to the model store later and see if I can find anything else.

Keep the ideas coming!:)

I would also go with the Revell '32 Ford. You said you want something custom, and if this is your first model in 10 years I'd suggest staying away from doing much if any custom work yourself, and with the '32 you can choose a few ways to put it together, satisfying your custom itch without frustrating you away from the hobby.

Glad to see ya here, mate!!:sunglasse

Thanks Tonio:)

Anyway, here's the model I found:

I kinda like it :biggrin:, but Im off to the model store now, to see if there's anything that catches my eye. I need some new supplies anyway. See you all in a little while.

That's a cool model!! Very hard to find!!:)

That would be the product of some garage scale scavaging a while back. :biggrin: I just got back from the model store, and I think the Bimmer is gonna be my victim.

Goodluck with the build

:grinno: ...welcome to debt. From now on, all of your money will be spent on boxes of plastic, and itsy bitsy bottles of toxic chemicals.

:iceslolan Enjoy.

i think u should get a atm-ertl street/customs kit coz they usualys have extra things like different engines and stuff.

good choice... hehehe. my 1st model was opel cliff-calibra, which is a DTM race car..!!! full of decal n gave real pain to put them together. so yea... do it slowly, as slow as u can. allowing plenty of time to think before u act (belive me, i still do something stupid things). so yea... be patient, its not the skills that 'grow' over-night. hehehehe. good luck...
