My 2 Completed Models

These are my 1st 2 built models. I built the mitsubishi about 5 years ago and the Lancia last year. I have been so dissaopionted in the end results I have 30 kits still unbuilt or partially built.

Hi,

since when do you built models? You cannot be new to the hobby, when you built the Evo 5 years ago.

I think the models are built box stock and don´t look bad, but always try to improve your skills.

F.e. sand the wheels to give them a used look, take time while blackening the window surroundings. Try to finish one model before you start with the next one.

Just a few hints, to which I stick still today ...

I consider myself new because these are the only 2 models I have built EVER. The Mitsubishi was my first attempt, Lancia the second. Thanks for the hints

very good kits... he presents the rest of your collection.....

OK, for your first 2 models these really aren´t bad. Nevertheless be critical to yourself ( in your comments I can see you are ) and try to improve model by model. Try to get hints from the other threads and take your time, than it will work....

Hi Dave!

Welcome again! thanks for postiing the 037 (and
the reference linx).

I haven't built any rally kits yet but I'm guessing that they are much braver kits to try for your first models than the road cars I do. They have so many more details and decals to fight with - so well done!!

Like the guys before said, really spend a time looking at all the threads on this forum (even if the thread title sounds like something you aren't interested in) and you will pick up so many hints/tips/ideas that your building skills will improve overnight.

my piece of useless advice for the day: get tons of masking tape (ONLY Tamiya) and use it all the time, everywhere every time you are painting :)

look forward to seing your first "in progress" thread here :bigthumb:

Looking good for first kits.
I agree with other guys about forum and tips.
