Mine too! I wasnt doing that good for the first year, and 6 or 7 models under my belt!..I didn't have a Big Bro to show me how it was done.. So I think, you both are Super Guys and great Brothers to share the hobby together..

Mike, hobby skills must run in the family! That's pretty darn good for a first model! Tell him to keep up the good work. And be sure to be a good big brother and post his other kits

Thats sweet. My Dad loves Scouts, we've had sooo many (12) scouts. He'd buy beaters and peice them all together into one masterpiece of a truck. He sent a picture in once to Four Wheeler magazine I think or some other mag. I dunno if anyone here has ever seen the magazine but it was a beatiful Scout II, lipstick red, huge black bumpers and a softtop with his homemade roll bars. I miss that truck, and me and my Dad have been trying to find a model of one for a while but we never find them in the hobby stores. I plan on finding a kit and building it just like my Dad's red truck with scratchbuilt roll bars and everything. Very nice job for a first timer too, my first models were snap-tites with my Dad. That was when I was 4, I'm 17 now and I've moved on to armour and aircraft.

Good Job

I think he did a good job. Nice little vehicle for a first model.

My brother's first model- International Scout

Posted by Lucien Harpress on Monday, January 15, 2007 11:52 AM

I'm normally an aircraft guy, but my yonger (15 year old) brother is more into the automotive stuff. He also has a thing for the old International Scouts, and suprised me a bit when he bought the 1/25 AMT Ertl offering and asked me for help. I actually did relatively little on the final build. I just painted the body color becuase I had an airbrush. Everything else is all him. Sure, it has it's flaws, but for a first model, whaddya think?
