Re: rebuilt wrc <--another failure-->

It looks real cool. Why are you unsatisfied with it? I think it just needs some light grey panel lines to break up the super shiney super smooth paint...other than that, it looks amazing.

Re: rebuilt wrc <--another failure-->

sometime dissatisfcation can be a good thing to improve skills, even with as in this case the kit looks good.

when you say sand to much how do you mean??? cutting back to the plastic on the corners or just cutting to much paint ? these are problems i have. try using a higher grade of wet and dry paper (1000-1200 grade) and use it wet seems to do less damage

the skooby looks great thou and i wouldnt beat youself up to much about it

Re: rebuilt wrc <--another failure-->

I agree with these guys- pics look good. of course pics can look better than real life- like my supra
One thing I've learned modeling for more than 20 years is that YOU will never be satisfied with YOUR work, no matter how good it is or what others say- if you are satisfied, that means you stopped trying to do better. BTW_ I'd like to see the Seahawk and the Hornet- where can I see pics of those??
