Um, I don't understand that comment. All my cars bodies are painted with rattle cans, and I've been able to get great results with it. So have a ton of other modelers on this site. Read the FAQs about polishing the body and you'll be amazed what you can do.



It would be nice to see some closer pictures that are in focus and don't have such distracting backgrounds.

Nothing wrong with Rattle can. Just gotta learn how to use it and how to polish, and it's really not that bad! Looks like you got some positive camber on the front wheels. Other than that it looks pretty nice! Keep em comming!

Um wow, that is one hell of a way to introduce your first model! I can bet with 200% certainty that most of us would never do that. Bonus points to you for rolling it around it the dirt then hosing it off. Quite the presentation.

Nice avatar BTW, and welcome to the forums.

I love the presentation. the kit...first build, expect critiques, but don't take them badly, they are only meant to help you build skill.

I think with the dirt, negetive and positive camber, makes it look as though someone stole it, then drove the crap out of it 'till it died! haha

FUN! I like ever when I see someone share something of himself, out of the chore. You PLAY with your stuff, and I can say I love it, at least there's a sense to build LOL, simply I'm too old and I lost the naivety to do it.

but OMG you're Sid from Toy's story! the garden is those.... leave in peace those poor toy!! LOL

I like!
