I'm not very good in spraying jobs but getting better and better in scratchbuilding body kits. these was said by a pro builder.
1st bodykit spend me months to sand, then on the 4th bodykit, it takes me 2 weeks to complete and it looks near perfect, so I grade myself as a good scratchbuilding modeler. But still try best to improve more in everything.;)

Well if your talking about the pre rated skill I usually get 2s as they are jsut about the only ones made. I've only ever done 2 snap kits, a Ford explorer and a Kenworth semi. I've done 2-3 level 3 kits and I've been planning on getting a level 7 :eek:
