41' Willys

[briandyche]

Hello! I'm new to both AF and modeling. Well, I've been looking around at AF for a couple months, but this is my first thread. This is my first model. Ever. So, consequently, it's not very good, but I'm having fun with it. I learned the hardway the difference between CA and liquid cement (engine) Everything is brush painted, I'm working on building a spray booth to help with that, since where i live I can never spray outdoors. Pictures are taken with a cell phone, sorry, I'm hoping to get a digital camera this weekend. Oh, and I'm 15 btw.

Looks like a clean build so far for your first ever... with the paint you would be suprised how good a rattle can paint job can be, something to think about... keep up the good work and welcome to AF!

My spray booth prototype is done. Just masonite on 2x2's for now. soon to have doors and suction. The final will be plexiglass with L brackets. I sprayed the body, great black pearl from testors i think. really good coating. still some glass and such to do on it. only a light coat though i think.

Definitely my first, but i've been reading up on here, great place to learn and pick up little tips. There are a lot of little painting mistakes/CA screw ups. They'll show up a lot better with a digicam with macro. Hoping to acquire my brothers. Interior update coming in a few hours!

Yes. Revell and AMT both frequently re-release old kits with new boxes, and occasionally some new stuff in the kit, but still give them new parts numbers.

Very cool, great job even if this is your first!

very nice indeed! that paint is great, seriously. there will be flaws, you learn from them. I think this is a great starter kit. it fits well, and is a beautiful car when completed straight out of the box.
