Uf, I have built many and varied things, I do not have a special preference for any topic, I would like to build a lot of other things but the time available is very scarce. The models that I built since I joined the forum leave me extremely satisfied. But I remember my first model, a plane from Zioprudencio, that although it was quite ugly, I loved it. And some articulated dolls, I do not remember the page, I know they are called "Deformecraft", they are like cartoons of Iron Man, Terminator, and several others, very funny, seeing the joy of my nephews when playing and taking them is the greatest satisfaction that can be achieved.

this particular build, I started with the box, the scoring, folding and glue up were perfect, there was no warp, the box sat flat on my desk, from there, all the other parts were perfect as well, even the wheels came out perfectly round, and centered on the sides.

your build of the GT is perfect, the car in the movie is beat up, scraped, dented, and your model quite unintentional looks like the real car. so don't get to hung up on the mistakes, you know where they are, and with the next model you will overcome those and progress as a model builder, and this is the case regardless of media or hobby.

I could not possibly answer that question.
Is like asking "who is your favorite son?" hehehehe
They're all unique, and they all have taught something.

Fantastic work, for a first attempt at a car, from a model that's nowhere near a simple beginners difficulty level, you've done an outstanding job and should be proud of it.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you try next, keep up the good work!

Thank you all very much for your comments and encouragement and also for sharing about your favorite builds!

I do understand what you mean Ruben! Can't pick a favorite.

That's an interesting twist to your builds, yet hilarious at the same time. Love it. Taking fun to the next level I see lol. Thank you for your comments and advice. You're right, I know where the mistakes are and some I've already learned how to overcome just from the start of the build. I very much enjoy the hobby and while I'd love to run right into it I understand I have to walk first. All in due time I suppose!
