Your first model?

What was your first model? My first was a (don't laugh) snaptite Kenworth, but at the same time I got a 1996 Boss Mustang.

My first model was the Revell mustang lowrider. The other day I decided to take it apart and update the styling.

My first model was an `82 Trans Am annual model, and it was a new kit at that time! I haven`t stopped building since. That was when I was in first or second grade. I think I built 50 or so 3rd gen Trans Am models in my lifetime.

My first kit was a lime green California Roller VW van by Revell. I have a re-issue of it and I will post picture of it. At the same time, I had a big 1/8 scale Jaguar that had operable windows. I think I blew it up with firecrackers (the fate of most of my older models! ).

Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer - just like the one that crashed into the neighbours tree........

Gotta love that brush paint job........

Still got it - even waxed it the other day. It must be 15 years old.

Cheers

First model kit ever: Snap-tite space shuttle. I was about 6. Turned out crappy.

First model kit in "modern times": Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Runabout. About 8 years ago. Turned out decent because the guy at the shop told me to use a spray can for the base and acrylics for the details. Works good. I still do it that way when I can. Built one "car" during my sci-fi period: the AMT BTTF Delorean. I think I killed it though...

First kit of current automotive enthusiasm: Tamiya Honda S2000. I've had it for about three years but it's still not done yet for some strange reson...

300ZX

My first model was a 300ZX painted in yellow, back in November 2001. Well, in its original state it was quite horrible (I tried to do the window trim and side moldings on the body by brush :o ).

Now it lies in my cabinet with a new paint job and I am quite pleased with it.
