Model Manufacturer displays at the NNL East

In 2016 Revell, AMT and Moebius all came to the show with things to display. Most of those things are test shots of kits that aren't out yet...the pictures follow.

Revell:

AMT. I was not able to get photos of much at the AMT table. There were a crowd of people around it every time I went by. I was able to get this shot of some kits they are coming out with later this year.

And finally, Moebius.

My First Model: 1953 Ford F-100

I figured I would start out by posting the first model I ever built, back in November 1999. I had previously done some work with my dad- I would hand him the parts, and he would build them- but this was the first one I did by myself. I had no idea what I was doing, but I still ended up with a decent model. It turned out to be one of the better models of the more than 100 that I brush painted.

The pictures aren't that great- they date to 2006, and my photography skills have improved since then, but they are the only ones I have so they will have to do.

I didn't have any brown paint, so I painted the bed gold. This was before I had ever heard of Bare Metal Foil so the Ford badging on the hood is painted silver.

I didn't yet know to paint the inside of the body, and the tailgate hinge and front suspension have since broken. I missed applying the fuel filler totally.

Not great, but it was a start, and they would get better with time.

As always, thanks for reading!
