My First Model

[AnnieG]

Hi, guys. This is my '58 Edsel. The first model I built with the encouragement of my husband.

I am sure I picked the Edsel off of the shelf due to all of the pretty shiny chrome work, but working with Bare Metal Foil was very difficult. Many times I thought I was through with a part, then the foil would tear and I had to remove it and start over. My next build will not have as much foil work. (But I still like the kits with the pretty shiny bling. What can I say?)

Very nice first build Annie You would never know, by the excellent quality work that it's you first build.
Keep on building and having fun.

Don't sell yourself short Annie, that is a very good-looking model that would turn eyes on any contest table.  That Edsel is an intimidating car to foil.  Hoping to see more of your work,  Great job!

  That is quite a nice build you have there and congratulations are in order for your second place finish in your first ever show.  I am honored to have played a wee small part with helping out .
