the beginning

This blog is dedicated to the plastic modeling hobby.

More specifically scale models of automotive products with an occasional armor model and maybe even a plane or two.

What I hope to accomplish here, is to create a place where a beginning modeler can go to get some advice on building a model and even find more advanced techniques on detailing and painting a scale car or truck.

I intend to write a daily journal, keeping track of what I have done to each project, and add photos as necessary.

I would very much like to create a library of sorts, where a beginning modeler can go to find answers for their current problems.

That being said, I have two or three projects in various stages as I take on this venture. A 1954 Chevy that has a tilt front end added to it that has been channeled and lowered substantially. It was originally a highboy and had quite a bit of extra ground clearance that I wanted to cut out.

The first picture that I post on it, is a work in progress (W.I.P.) and the engine, and the tires and wheels are only sitting in place. This picture is also before the front end is lowered and more body work has started.

The next pictures of it will be in progress as I build.

I am also working on a Camaro, a basket case that was built by a friend 30 years ago or more. It had many different coats of paint and a ton of glue on it, all of which had to come off to begin the build.

I'll get the pictures up soon (hopefully tonight) as there was a glitch on the first one.
