finished civic

[TheBenzon]

i am very displeased with the outcome since the headlights got all messed up to the point i couldnt glue the right one. but this is my first ever completed painted model. so i dont know what to say yall do the judging.


i hope i can do a better job next time.

might I suggest that you take some time and read the tutorials provided in the car modeling forums. they will help you out emmensely. another way to get better is to just keep after it. practice makes good!!! don't lose hope. from what I can see, you did a fine job on the paint. get yourself a car that doesn't include a motor, or atleast a good kit that does. might I suggest the line of monogram early model mustang kits. I have yet to be disappointed by any of them (aside from the fox body cars).

where are the tutorial forums anyways? on the other hand nice job man i love the color.

They're below the musclecar section and
above the general car modeling threads.

Hope you understand my wording!

the funnt part is i did a great job on the engine detailing and stuff everything inside the car came out great too. but just the last 5 min of the model things got a little out of order. but ill keep practicing. and the hardest thing i accomplished in this model is the painting without messing it up.

You no doubt got excited and rushed. Take your time. That's modeling's biggest challenge, and the greatest key to success.

yep i think thats what exactly happend. the paint and detailing i took 1 week for then when it came to the simplest thing i messed up.

Keep up the work. Its practice and practice, and spending lots of times on the forums reading and reading. I have read so much, and the cool thing about this hobby, is you can never stop learning!

I am on my fourth model, and I have learned the rushing part. My first model couldn't even be compared to yours because I wanted the finished product, but I didn't take my time which was a bad idea. Taking your time is the key.

It took me 2 months to complete my third model and I still messed up on the front lights. Goodjob though, keep up the work, remember, practice and reading!

You will no doubt, but you should also be pleased with this build too.. its clean and fresh looking..maybe the pictures could be better with focus and more light. try to remember that aswell as all the tips the good people here will give you..

Well done...


Keep posting your builds.
