What was your first model?

[JE123]

My first one was a SnapTite Chevrolet Corvette. My first glue model was a Mustang Mach 3. My Mustang came out alright because my dad helped me.

I honestly don't remeber, i was 9 years old and my brother gave it to me for my birthday. all i know is that it was red and it fell apart after a few years...

Yeah, too long ago!

I used to make planes at Sunday school, I guess that gave me the bug!
I remember making a British Airways 727 with my Dad too, I must have been about 5 then!

First car I recall was a Porsche 928 bought with my pocket money!
I built it straight out the box, then tried painting it later!

I don't want to even think about that!

Into the way-back machine:

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.

First kit of current automotive enthusiasm: Tamiya Honda S2000. I've had it for about two years but...

First model was a Ju87 Stutka, in 1/48 scale. Never painted it, and it turned out all right, for an 8 year old... My first serious model was a 1/72 FA-18 Hornet, and I did that at about age 14. I've long since scrapped that, and all I have left are the missiles .

First car model (did lots of planes and tanks before that) was about 32 years ago.....

Gas Rhonda's long nose Mustang funny car by AMT. It even came with a 45 rpm record pressed on thin vinyl over cardboard. It had a converstaion with Gas Rhonda and a recording of the car.

Why George, fancy meeting you here!

I also used to make planes, ships, and submarines in my childhood. The ones I did not try to paint turned out OK

Modern times - Ferrari F310B. Don't ask about the second one

My very first model was (cant remember the name) a kit my Monagram years ago.
It was a orange hotrod...shape was a bit like a old stage coach..funny looking thing....T-Bucket type thing

Help me on this one guys...this will bother me to i find a pic of it now....damn !!

Built a few cars/boats/trucks/planes....but i had them all at my parents house and they where broken into and some fucken arsehole smashed/jumped all over the ones they didnt take.
I was gutted for months after that and never done anything for years untill i started over again when Tamiya released the kit below and i started again.
So the pic below is my first since i started again

My first model was a black Chevy S10 i got at Kmart for like 5 bucks, it was a Intermediate skill, It actually came out pretty good, then i dropped it in the backyard while i was repainting it and it broke..hahahaha..

Early 90's mustang, but that was mainly my dad. My personal first was a 1996 corvette coupe (it was actually a 97 model, bu the kit was old, and thought it would be out for 1996). I now have almost 30 completed models

Mistubishi Lancer Evolution VI Rally Edition 1999 Canberra Winner

Speaking of which... i'm buying the rest of the supplies for it today (including spray paint). I'll scan the instructions and also take pics of the actual kit. with any luck, i'll strat today.

First kit is the one I'm working on now, Tamiya CLK-GTR Warsteiner
Its been 3 weeks and i just finished the chassis. Working on the body now

[Heep]

First model ever was a snap tite Corvette, it was a 70's Stingray and the body was gold-plated. I was about 5 then, it turned out awesome. But my first "glue & paint" model was an old '60's Ford Falcon. Oh geez did that ever turn out bad. It's still sitting in the basement...the back axle is broken, the front wheel fell off, the front bumper and grill both fell off, and the body is only half painted (ugh! ). Anyways, that was a long time ago, this Renault 5 Turbo that I'm working on now is my first in about 9 years or so. It's still an amateur build, no where near as good as Guiddy's or PM's, but it's turning out half decent.
