Title: First kit after a 30+ years hiatus
Post by: Volzfan59 on June 10, 2024, 01:47:35 PM
At little back story, my wife is my teenage sweetheart. She used to sit with me when I built kits back in the 70's. Fast forward, two years ago her mother asked what else she could get me for Christmas. She told her to get this kit at Walmart as I was always looking at it. It's not perfect, but I was pretty happy with it. Anyway, thanks for looking.

Thank you, I'm a huge Tennessee Volunteer fan, that's how I landed on orange and white.

Having been raised in Syracuse, NY I yelled a lot of "let's go Orange". Nice build (and color).

Great looking model.  Your color separation lines are really clean.  Looks great.

Looks clean and beautiful, Steve. You have not lost any of your skills. The separation line between colors looks perfect. something I have always had trouble with.
