Hmmm, Did not know anything about painting, didn't know what enamel or acrylic was, did not know what x-acto knives were, did not know spray cans were better than brushes, did not know that masking was a good thing, did not know what molding lines were, did not of COURSE know what panel lines were :finger:, did not know you needed to sand, did not know what orange peel was, tore peices off the trees, in a sloppy way I hand painted the parts, and used junky TESTORS glue.
How does that sound.

I believe back in 1996 or so I got a revell or amt chevrolet s-10. I remember trying to brush paint racing stripes on it.. A few years later I got a revell or amt viper rt/10, and I broke a piece off the fanbelt assembly that thought I couldn't build the kit.

AMT/Ertl 1965 Pontiac 2+2 Catalina, built as a short track car when I was 11. Rattle can True Blue Pearl with hand lettered gold markings and a roll cage built from sprue. I "wired" the engine with thread and made seat belts out of masking tape.
It looked horrible, but I loved it. I'll probably try to build a "now" version of it with all my new skills.
