right i have finally built up the courage to post my build on here, after seeing the skills floating around here i am way out of my depth, but anyway here goes

i won this kit on ebay for cheap as it had already been half (ar**d) built, basically poorly painted and most parts cut from the sprues. its a 1/24 tamiya honda prelude xx, i have a soft spot for hondas :)

ok the kit in question was painted a very poor blue colour so using the 'soak in fairy power spray' tip most of the paint came off - RESULT!

i tried to paint it camel yellow but i dont like the colour so i ended up painting it honda milos white.

Great start Stuart. Keep the photos coming be interested to see them.

Know how you feel I had to get courage wound up to post on here.

Some great stuff on here but we all started at the beggining. Great thing is that you learn here as the quality is so good. You will also get great encouragement.

So best of luck.

thank you for the reply Laurie, indeed i am just in awe at the moment, i should never have looked on the diorama page in fairness, i use to think my old card hornby houses looked cool. in time hopefully i will have picked up some handy tips.

Why you doubt to show it Stuart?

Keep the pics coming.

That's a good start Stuart. You are a brave man starting off with a "part build". They can be a struggle. What you've posted so far looks good to me. As Laurie said, we all start somewhere. I started ages ago and I'm still rubbish at it......... Most people learn as they go. I just keep screwing it up.

You can try a black felt-tip pen. (Very thin top). Usually there is a small hollow between the window trim and the auto body. You follow it with the felt-tip pen, and the result is a thin and homogeneous line. You can use for the wheels as well.

Nice pic, is from the scale car photography.com?

Hope this help you!

PS: is looking very well mate!
 
My preferred method is this; Tamiya semi gloss black, use it on a pallet and add a drop of thinner. Use a good quality brush. I paint the trims freehand making sure that the model is on a stable platform and taking my time. Then whilst the paint is still soft grab a clean cocktail stick and run it around the intended line removing any stray paint.

I'm enjoying watching this come together. keep up the good work mate.
 
Looking really nice.

I had an RS2000 in Signal Orange (more of an amber colour) which looks very similar to your original choice. I can understand why some might not be too keen on that colour !

Wow, for a first build i'm well impressed. Mine was an absolute disaster. Well done
 
Super build for a first-take your time, rest occasionally and read the instructions and only do the parts you need-do that and you should be okay, rush or get loads of parts out and it is a recipe for disaster...I know:( Great job, now you're on your way to cluttering up the house :D

Si:)
