My worst one was probably done to my old Revell Dodge Viper. I painted the rims and engine gold. It did not look pretty.

I've done stuff like that too. When I was but a young'un. I would be sooo excited to get the model together I'd paint it after it was assembled. It always looked like ass when I did that.

One of the worst ones that I have done would have to be painting my '65 Impala gold with a brush after it was already painted blue. I didnt remove the blue paint :o but it was one of my first so

dumbest car detail huh...

man, it's got to me my roll cage in a Feiro GT that i made when i was like in grade 4.

I didn't know what a roll cage was back then, so I thought it was some big ass handle bars for people in the car to hold on to.. so i took the left over trees and cut/heated/bend them into giant handle bars and glued them ALL OVER the interior of the car..

for me it was probably trying to change my testarossa into a 512 TR, it just looked goofy.

I'm not sure what is going on. I'm getting pretty pissed with them at the moment. The car was in stock and ordered on the 12th Dec. My wheels i ordered only took 11 days the first time i ordered. If its not here in 5 days i'm cancelling my order's as the kit will be in my model shop here by the end of the month

I have kinda the same problem, I was asking about it here and everyone ignored me, thank you very much :finger: (turn the smile up side down) this is my first time with HLJ, bad impression already. Note: I placed my order weeks before christmas, and I'm still waiting for them to process it.....ok, well not the fault of everyone here, but I'm just mad.....I'm going to sit in the corner now
