Delorean - complete!
Posted by ohms on Sunday, October 11, 2020 3:49 AM

Hi guys, 

Here's my Delorean after about 6 weeks of work. This is maybe my 6th or 7th model attempt and only my second display-worthy effort. I'm so happy. I got this model because I was sad I missed the boat on the Eaglemoss Delorean offering, which is such a beautiful piece of hardware. This definitely scratches that itch.

Thanks to the guys who offered tips along the way. Thanks also to the YouTube guys for so much reference, and finally, thanks to Instagram for offering great filters to help my hide my model's imperfections. Stick out tongue

Next I plan on doing the Revell Ford Shelby GT-H. I need to perfect my gloss finish.

Into model building since September 2019. Also into books (mostly science-fiction), comic books, and gaming.

Great work Ohms!  Now you just have to put Einstein in there for the first test run to 88 MPH.

You all have no idea how much your compliments mean to me, coming from this corner of the web specifically. I'm still at a level in modeling where I don't even know if I'm going to satisfactorily complete a model when I start it, so I'm still pretty much relying on the support of others to gain my confidence.

As you can see below, the Delorean's in good company.

Later today, I want to speak about some of the things I need info on to improve.
