This was my first car model.

This was my first car model. It's a Corvette '57. Sadly, when i was 12 years old i wanted to restore it.
But when i had sarted to cut away al the glue i lost al the interest in it. So here it is, my first model in pieces.

Hi Anton!
Cool, I wish I had my first atempts still laying around. Well, I don't so therefore it's nice to see other peoples first builds. I have some pics of old ones from me, but that's only planes and one helicopter. Have a look if you're interested, it was a blast from the past when my parents showed them to me this summer. Had totaly forgotten they stil existed.

Edit:
Be very careful with this one, don't do anything with it or you'll regret it for the rest of your life. You can buy a new one but you will never build your first model again!

Okay thanks for the comment niclas its fun to find the first one. but i am afraid that i already have ruined it! but i wont do any more to it. it shall remain in the conditon its in:P

I will have a look.. even thoug i am not that interested in planes and sow. But my absoulutly first model was a plain and that vette of mine was my first car.

Cool.
I think I may have killed of a few of my first attempts while I was still a kid.
I remember some pretty serious car accidents in 1/24 scale in my parents driveway involving some nail polish remover and a cigarette ligther. Freak accidents really that just happend to take place when I was around. I even think there may have been a passenger jet airliner involved in one of these craches at some time...

ahh my eyes its is wise to improve on your models i got lazy and bought another one and improved it. its restorable but its easier to restomize get a newer model vette gut it for parts.

you got some work ahead of you

Is that finger paint? J/K. It would be cool to come across some of my old stuff. I'm sure they were trashed long ago.

My mother got me into modeling when I was 5 years old , she bought me a 55 chevy snap tight , a TA and a "black and white" all snap tight.

This is my first Skill 2 that I can remember building.

[weaponCIVIC]

lol i dont know what we think as kids, i bet you were so proud of it too?

i know i was with my first, mabye if i get my camera soon ill post it..i tried soo hard to modify it and make it look good, but the engine mods i put on just dont make sence lol.

[Realsweden]

my first buil was a helicopter which lasted for about two hours. Broke a lot of parts and then just threw it away... about 13, maybe 14 years ago..

[Jumpman_Z]

LOL, it seems everyone tried to paint their first models with a brush, including me. Anyway, at least you finished your first model. I broke major pieces on my first few models before I could finish them.

[76 maverick]

Most of my models are painted by brush but I`ve never made a show car.

[proosen]

Nothing wrong with brush painting, takes longer to get good results than with airbrush or spray paint. Not the first but an early one, and believe me...this one is the only one looking this good before I got my airbrush. Don't know how I managed to get this shine with a brush and good old Humbrol 21!? It's built some 15 years ago, I think?

my first build is an old Toyota stalet (about 10 years ago or more), I did a stupid thing, which is after I paint the car, I want it dry faster, so I did put it in oven with low heat, but After I came back from toilet, the car melt like cheese! lol~

[GvEman]

It's nice to bring old memorys back
I remember that i got that vette and an other car from a friend of dad. I had no printings for it so i built it as i thougt it would be.

Nice job you made on that camaro Niclas. And its brush paint, verry nice!
