'70 Dodge Challanger

hello.. i am new to this car modelling scene and i was looking around in this forum a bit before and thought it might be fun to try it out, so i went to the hobby store next door and bought me a Revell 1:25 Dodge Challenger, paint, glue and the other fundamentals, ill post some pics and let me see what you guys think of my progress

Right on, Make sure you get some pics of your progress, and dont get discouraged. Each model ends up being a learning experience and they just get better and better with each one. Make sure you check out the FAQ, lots of tips on making a nice clean build.

Thats my favourite muscle car!!, keep us posted!

Welcome to AF! Make sure to show us your models and read the FAQ extensively! I cannot wait for more progress on your Challenger.

i'm working on a charger too, '71. i would be posting more pics but my camera died....another item to the long list of things i need to buy.

Done the paintjob at the chassi and am just about to give it another clear coat and then im going to do the interior

F*CK!!!!! THE PAINT AT THE CHASSI IS FALLING OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DANG . need to strip and repaint the whole shit now.. :(

Did you use primer?

no *embarrased*

damn, that sucks.

Thats exatly why I am holding off on the body of my Yenko until later. I want to learn as much about painting as I can until I get there.

okay after some struggling with the paint im ready for PRIMER :) and the blue again :D

allright my front bumper is finished http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/502/217070P1010215-med.JPG

worth to note is that the chrome seen on the pic is NOT in that bad shape in real life, the camera managed to screw it up somehow.

i like it. Not bad for a newbie. Dont forget to paint the chrome trim.

^BMF looks better than paint unless he uses Aclad II

thas pretty damn nice! u plan to polish it rite? still looks good tho. btw tamiya has some videos of spray painting u can download online 4 free and it doesn't take long for 56k either

Good start,front end looks good.You picked a nice easy model to start out with.I've built it and it goes together with minimal fuss.
