Well here it is,my first attempt at making a model in over 30 years - how hard can it be?
Plus I've never painted a model so this really is going to get ugly.
Now to make sure I have the essentials
Tweezers - check
Snips - check
File - check
Really rubbish paint brush - check
Glue - check
Instructions for getting glue out of eye - check
Cold beer for keeping stress and swearing to a minimum - check
First impressions - it's bloody tiny! With my big,fat fingers I think I've taken on a bit too much but I'm fairly confidant that this could be a new low for scale-models
Second impression - the models I used to make had holes on one side and pins on the other.Granted they were very basic ( quite a lot of dinosaurs,sadly none of these survived the great Action Man war of 1980), no pins and holes here so it's definitely going to be a challenge.
This took me 45 minutes :eek: . No quick build here.
A couple of questions
Do I paint bits as I go or put it all together then paint?
What tools should I have for a basic tool kit?
Right I'm off for a go at the other seat o_O
Cheers, Mick
