My son (he's 13) finished up his 3rd model car this morning (first tamiya and first 1/24 scale, he's previous kits were 1/32 hornby and airfix kits) he's so proud of this! It's all brush painted too. He just needs to learn a bit of patience and not rush through things. Kids hey 😂3yr ⋅ KitBuilderChris ⋅ r/ModelCars

Before the lock down, tried several shops for 2mm wide ribbon, could only find 3mm. Didn't think it would work too well. Although not 100% accurate, and after an hour or so of trying to thread the ribbon and gluing... It's turned out OK I guess4yr ⋅ KitBuilderChris ⋅ r/ModelCars
First time clear coating over decals, was nervous in case they melted, turned out alright 👍🏻4yr ⋅ KitBuilderChris ⋅ r/ModelCars

First completed build of the year. Plenty of imperfections where I struggle with shaky hands but I'm happy. Album in comments4yr ⋅ KitBuilderChris ⋅ r/ModelCars
2 coats of a £2 grey primer, 1 coat of rustoleum metallic silver, 2 coats tamiya colour, 2 coats £2 clear coat. All from spray cans. No sanding, polishing or waxing. Not too bad for a cheap paint job4yr ⋅ KitBuilderChris ⋅ r/ModelCars

There just something so satisfying working on the wheels, watching them really come to life from the first layer of paint to the last decal (Aoshima's Volk te37s 19 to go on the S13)3yr ⋅ KitBuilderChris ⋅ r/ModelCars
Was worried about losing the definition of the mazda in the bumper with using spray cans, but after 3 coats primer, 3 coats colour and 3 coats of clear... It's still there 😃. Now to sit and wait until Sunday for a good polish.3yr ⋅ KitBuilderChris ⋅ r/ModelCars

Got the rx7 polished up tonight by hand, pretty pleased with the result3yr ⋅ KitBuilderChris ⋅ r/ModelCars
As a test, I only used one grade of wetsand (p2500) and several applications of the kentmodels hyper polish to see how it goes. I think it looks pretty good. One sheet of sand paper £1, hyper polish £4, time and elbow grease £priceless3yr ⋅ KitBuilderChris ⋅ r/ModelCars
Super happy with how well this has polished up! Super not happy snapping the connecting point between bumper and body and then cement seeping through melting the paint3yr ⋅ KitBuilderChris ⋅ r/ModelCars

Got the 911 cleared earlier this afternoon using tamiya's good old ts-13 over ts-40 metallic black. Really happy where I smoothed out where the rails were. Loving the smooth look3yr ⋅ KitBuilderChris ⋅ r/ModelCars
Removed the small pillar from behind the main front pillar, on the door, also removed the guard rail above the doors, for a more smoother look. Can't wait to get the colour down on this3yr ⋅ KitBuilderChris ⋅ r/ModelCars
