http://public.fotki.com/carmad1957/past-projects/ Hey...not like I'm all that proud of 'em but we all gotta start somewhere eh?! These were my "builds" during my first six months or so into this wonderful hobby and they ALL made their way into different part boxes in a hurry....but not one of them to ever be forgotten! Each build I do is a learning experience and I enjoy building more and more with each project I complete. The one thing these early builds are definitely responsible for is getting me forever hooked! Thanks for looking and please....don't be TOO cruel!! Comments/Suggestions? E-Mail me at carmad1957@yahoo.com http://images.fotki.com/logo3.gif http://public.fotki.com/carmad1957/past-projects/ http://public.fotki.com/carmad1957/past-projects/dragster4011g.html Here she is in all her glory- the barf-mobile! This was my very first build and it was done right outta the box with model glue and brushed enamels! Did try my hand at a few "mods"on her though. And yep- sure got me hooked!

My first attempt at "aluminum" looking wheels here too. By no stretch of the imagination a true Pisano & Matsurba car- just liked the paint & graphics combo!

Was way too high~ Think my next go-around might just work out a little better! A little cutting here, bending there, building here- you get the idea.

The 41 SW&C drag model. This is my 3rd build total and all in all was fairly pleased with it. I not only enjoyed it, but learned a lot. This was a fairly detailed model right outta the box and my intro to polishing powders

This was (I think) my 4th build or so. Some early "metalizing" attempts on this build.
