What's this?

Anybody here build models?


I never really did as a kid....just the snap together where the parts were already colored and such. Snap together, add decals, and done. My son who is developing a classic car/muscle car obsession got a really detailed Shelby Cobra "real" model for Christmas. Every piece is white. So I guess were supposed to paint everything before assembly? How do you hold the small parts for painting? Any other advice? Aw, hell...anyone want to come over and build this thing with my kid?

  Your local hobby shop should have "how to" guides for painting. ** -- Naelbis 02/04/2018 3:03PM

  RTFM! There may be subassemblies that need to be glue before paint -- typed by ben 02/04/2018 2:13PM

  I never got into it that far as a kid, but paper clips was my 1st thought. ** -- thankbud 02/04/2018 1:36PM
