My first model

[Wurger]

Today I started my first model the Spitfire Mk 2, and i think i got the hang of it. It a skill level of 2 so it wasnt to hard, but the leg wheels wouldnt stay straight.

Hi Spit !!!

What is the firm of the model? Send some pics of your model,please.There is a pic of my 1:72 scale Spitfire Mk.II from The Polish 303 squadron - spring 1941.The model is also one of the first Spitfires I've made so far.

Hey nice model Wurger!... c'mon spit lets see some pics...

Have you solved the wheel leg problem? What is/was going wrong? Do you need some ideas to solve the 'staying straight' issue or have you nailed it?

Hi Pisis !!!
Thanks friend.Besides,I can see your Polish gets better,nice.

 

[Pisis]

Well, thank you, too. I always "knew" Polish like this, that is probably the reason I never used it...

 

[Wurger]

Just like me with The Czech one.

Since this whole topic is on first models, The Churchill in the following pictures is my first.

Nice work Joe.I like it ,especially the soldier with no leg. But I think the painting of tanks should be much more dusty, or simply you should use matt enamels.But the diorame is really O.K

My first modell was a traditional F-5 Tiger made by Italeri 1/72 (when I was 8 years old), this moment I have +/- 150 modells, last modells bought: Tupolev SB-2 and Focke-Wulf Fw-200 Condor of Revell. My second collection are figures.

If you liked that diarama, you would love the one im making right now. I will take picture of it soon, its nearly finished. I need to get my camrera fixed first though.

 

[Joe2]

Heres that diorama, with Russian Troops on it. I Am going to put a building where there is a large brown patch.

 

[Wurger]

Looks really good.

I just found out the wooden board is a tad too small for what i have in mind

I love seeing the very first models, there is nothing better =) I, too started modelling in late summer of last year and now I have around ten "finished" models.
It is actually very entertaining to watch how you get better and better with every few models, as the first ones are always reeeaaalll bad :') I too have had
most difficulties with wheels, as it is still pretty hard to get them stay right way while you are waiting for glue to dry.
Maybe I'll post some of my firsties later after pimping them at least a bit :')) Well, not really, just the way the first models usually are ^^

The worst things about modelling is wheels and tracks. Thats why I get Flames of war stuff, as the tracks are all one piece
