first model...wish me luck
ok, so im no newbie to AF, but i am to car modeling. i dropped by the local hobby store today to pick up a x-mas present and model kits were 40% off, i couldnt refuse. i thought to myself "self, those guys on AF have some really good looking models...maybe you should do that" and so im trying. i picked up a revell 1968 firebird 400 ram air kit.
i have no digital camera, but everyone i know does, so i'll get some progress pics for you eventually. expect no stupid noob questions out of me, ive done a good bit of reading a research before hand. anyways...thanks for getting me into this.

Re: first model...wish me luck
that Firebird should go together pretty well; it's a great kit!

Uh-oh. AF's captured another soul for life. Welcome to the world of modeling! Prepare to lose all your money invested into a bunch of plastic.

GOOD LUCK! i think your only goal for your first model should be to finish it. dont worry about details, just finishing a model teaches you the steps of modelling from start to finish so next time you can plan ahead a little more. so dont worry if you forgot this or that. finishing is going to teach you the most at this point! please post pics when possible.

Re: first model...wish me luck
well, for an update, ive got the main parts assembled. the interior and the chassis (for lack of a better term) and im trying desperatly to paint things, not going too well.
i bought this really cool color blue for the body, but its in cheap-o spray paint form...any tips on getting a halfway decent gleam out of it? (besides not using black primer....geez that was a moron thing to do)
