Looks to be a very well built first model. Congratulations!

Thanks, I learned a lot on this model, I printed it on 67 LB stock which actually I think was just a little light. Probly something around 80 would have been a little better.

Maverick8706 I can tell by the way you posted one pic from the front that you were nervous about how your build turned out, but don't be. The members on here are very supportive, and friendly. From what I can see it turned out good. If you want more easier models to build your confidence like I did starting out I think you should check out Airdave's models on his cutandfold site under koolwheelz collection. They are free, and kool looking. It took me 3 years before I had the nerve to do a first build thread, and everybody was really supportive.

I used Paint program for window to resize my pics. I know the model it was the second build I did starting out with, but it could have been better, and from moving it around made it look worst. Here are my pics of the model as you can see it could have been better, but they would have still liked it on here just because they like seeing people build and have fun doing it.

This one was fun because it was like building a cheap piece of furniture with instructions in another language. Just look at the pieces and look at the pictures lol. I used Krazy glue brush bottle to glue mine together.

One of the first models I did was a WWII jeep. I'd have to say, I am not familiar with this one, but it came out pretty good. If you feel like doing more 4X4's, check out Jesse Smith's papercruisers, Buy Paper Models Papercruiser.com Papercruiser.com, AirDave's Daisy Duke jeep at Koolwheelz StarCarz or the Dakar models at www.racepaper.de
