Saw this Porsche GT3 on a website done by a newbie...
Just thought how does your first kit look like ??

[Vagabond_se7en]

Lol, my first kit was a mercedes benz I gof for my 14th birthday or so. I brush painted it completely and it looked even worse (maybe also cuz it was a Revell kit ). It has a nice place now in my gallery of shame.

my first kit was a tamiya touring car,this toyota jtcc thing...i didn't paiunt the body,just the front skirt,brush paint,but it turned out very very well for a first kit.sadly it broke i am sixteen now and still have a lot to learn,but i wouldn't say i am a n00bie

you need to start somewhere !

I agree with Vric, and at least the guy is starting modelling, it means there is one more model builder out there, which means there is one more person keeping the hobby alive.

[Forhod]

Hmm.. At least he build it.
Everyone goes through the stage of newbie, everyone will learn as they go on

5ynergyx,

I think you are being a little harsh on the guy, lets look at what went wrong although im not as exprienced as Ray and Vric and basically most other people of this board all I can see that is wrong is the window frames are smugded, clear plastic parts have a lot of fogging and the rear tail lights arent painted. I actually think he did a good job on the body itself and the yellow looks good on it, the tyres, wheels, mufflers and chasis of the car all look good to me. So certainly a lot more plus points then negative ones.

Makes me wonder if I will even put my Ferrari F310b up here when I am finished (Yeah Ray I know, I think I am officially the slowest builder here) but good news is its almost there.

no, you can't beat Jay on that one

Everyone started out this way, some not doing panel lines along the way, some not spraying their kits,
AT LEAST THIS FELLOW TRIED HIS PANEL LINES!!

[COZMO6476]

my first tamiya model looked worse even if it was painted. cut the guy some slack. it took courage and pride to post those pictures and we should at least appreciate that the pictures are of good quality.

[bigfrit]

I totally agree!
my first models were heaps of parts, desperately trying to form a car!
at least his car stands with its four tyres on the ground! He should be proud of it!

I feel that he is a true modeller, willing to show ppl a kit that went a little wrong and not afraid of negative comments. I admire him for this.

How many of us are willing to show ppl their first kit?
Not many I guess...

[tonioseven]

I would love to show my first model but I built it about 23 years ago and I don't remember which car it was! I think that guy did WAAAAAY better than I did! He deserves a lot of credit!

I think he did a rather good job for a first kit. My first kit wasn't even painted and there were even patches of glue everywhere.
