My First Model

[Rachel]

I decided to try my hand at this whole modeling bit. I remember building things in my highschool industrial tech shop class and loving every bit of it... of course, who wouldn't, I was the only senior classman and I was the only girl in a classroom full of freshmen and sophomore boys willing to do anything I asked of them.

Since I'm new to building models, I decided to start at the basics- a Revell Snap Tite '57 Chevy Bel Air. Luckily for me, my boyfriend is a pro and has been a tremendous asset helping me with filing and airbrushing.

Tonight was my first time using the airbrush- WOW! that was fun!

I'm already looking forward to more and can't wait for Saturday's Blizcon event!
