first of all hello guys! I wanted to say only to spare you time, this one is not perfect! im editing this video here just because i learned a lot with this process and with my " bad luck".. so if you want to comment " Alex its not perfect the paint job is not well....." relax.. i know that! :):)

[@JJModelMaking]

Thanks for sharing Alex! We all need to make mistakes to learn

[@mnsgrscalemodeles3680]

Don’t worry my friend.. you doing good work , but with a very bad kit ( for my opinion the revell’s kits are unacceptable ) and a not good choice body paints . Try with zero paint or gravity paints for the body ( with the same primer and the same clear finish) .

[@kenpullin4937]

It's all good Alex

[@t.j.lemaster8653]

Hey you were able to save it And it looks pretty darn good up on that turntable to me !

[@_jeb_]

Hi. I am also a newbie. I liked your video and that you were honest and showed a bad result of painting. I appreciate it

[@Bulgarinator]

Thank you alex you motivate me every time

[@GYRUSS]

Your struggle paid off. Never give up. You learned from your mistakes and now you can apply your experience to a much more important car build.

[@Hebdomad7]

I love seeing when you screw up. Makes you more human and more relatable.

[@willatno2]

Just tried my first one then came across your vid . Truly great as it proves that actually just like life it’s all about the experience . Thanks again

[@rarejer]

Thank you Alex for making this video.

[@ramblers69]

Not bad for your first, shiny paint can be a challenge, it's taken me a long time to get it right, learn from it and on to the next one, I built the Mercedes also, nice kit, :) Tom

[@bavarianscalemodelling4185]

Nice to see a car on this channel

[@sukhoi3572]

Still better than anything I'll ever make!

[@125scalemodeldrive]

Great video. Car looks great

[@billbrowning3021]

It’s good to see you are human like the rest of us. Still, nicely done.

[@AlexModeling]

Always and above all human😂😂😂😂

[@berndschmid905]

Ive been looking à LOT on YT builds and I just have to give it to you amazing skils and entertaining as hell. Made my evening

[@AlexModeling]

Thank you!

[@devinrussell2372]

Your not the only hobbyist on KZbin;who has had a "happy little accident" this week!.Just recently,Chris of HPI Guys Workshop did a full build review;of Revell U.S.A's highly anticipated, Plymouth AAR Cuda in 1:25 scale.He did a two tone paint job on the body;Testors Model Master Go Mango Laquer,and Rust-Oluem flat black for the hood,top of the fender panels,and the top of the doors up to the front of the passenger windows.Some how dust landed in the flat black paint while it was still wet;and it ruined the finish. So he had to place the hood in some simple green;to strip it down all the way to the white plastic,and repaint it.He had to repeat this process;not once,but three times. At the end of the video,when he shows the end result of the completed kit,the color of the hood does not match the color on the tops of the fender panels. So you are not the only one who makes mistakes when it comes to plastic models I.E.,nobody's perfect;we are only human.Even Chris admits that he does not super detail his model cars and trucks;he just builds them straight out of the box,and has fun doing it.He says if you spend more time trying to make a plastic model car or a 1:18 scale diecast collectible look like the real thing,that is when it stops being a fun hobby. As the late land scape artist,Bob Ross once said:"In the world of art,there are no mistakes;...just happy little accidents".

[@cvpatterson8]

Well done for sticking it out, your experience will pay off when building your childhood car. Can't wait to see that video. Good job Alex

[@michaelharris9347]

Really enjoyed the way that you did not give up and your honesty, some people never seem to have any problems and it is refreshing to see someone as good as you letting us see the problem and how you overcame it, thanks Alex.

[@rikbryan9709]

Alex ,I really felt for you when this happened to the clear cote. We have all been down that road in some way or another. Like a Phoenix from the flames though,you rose up again and brought it back when many a man would have binned it. Well done Alex.

[@normangarland6558]

We all learn when we stretch our skills. You have learned and so have we. Love the car!

[@VikingModeller]

Thanks for sharing the video Alex. It turned out pretty good in the end despite everything.

[@AlexModeling]

I tried at least to do an aceptable work. I don t vide anything from you guys

[@caseygraham5502]

Great job

[@lacikarichard]

Marco, your primer is just amazin. Alex your work amazin, fantastic!!! I love it

[@AlexModeling]

Thank you!

[@lesvenus3788]

Great video Alex. Your tenacity and determination I can only be in awe of. Thank you so very much for sharing

[@thedutchscalemodellerChannel]

Hello Alex Nicely done as a civilian builder, I know that it can sometimes be difficult. But you have learned something new. Let it be a motivation to build a car more often

[@arbitScaleModels]

We have all had to use the "Technical Alcohol" at one time or another. Thanks for the courageous video. I learned a lot.

[@JHartModelworks]

I've watched this one before, but it came up on youtube recommended and watched it again. great build. I enjoyed this kit as well.

[@AlexModeling]

Thank you! It was not the best as you know. But i didn t Gave up on this and learned a lot!

[@mikemodels928]

Hi Alex. I was just watching ur vids for fun and i tell ya something. You are really talented modeller. This video is a tutorial on not giving up. It turned out quite nicely.

[@jackablon7252]

Alex, I love your videos. Do not feel bad about your paint problem. I had to paint the hood of our real 1/1 scale rally car 4 times because the flat black kept blushing in streaks of gray! Found out later it was the humidity. That car had intricate stripes of red and orange on a yellow car! Much harder to remove and repaint on a full-size car! ......................LOL

[@georgebrown6540]

As always Alex, benchmark video builds and content, you seem to be able to make a complex process / build seem a very viable build even for us mere mortals, thanks for sharing.

[@AlexModeling]

Too kind. Thank You. Glad you enjoied

[@rubentrevino6288]

Beautiful

[@jameskirk9938]

Mistakes happens sometimes, but they make us stronger. 👍

[@robbo1068]

Alex, regardless of the outcome (which, in my opinion, is still a great job) I really enjoy watching your builds as you always provide such pertinent advice to your viewers.....as you said....the good, the bad and the ugly. You don't shy away from challenges nor letting us know the good parts and pitfalls of your builds.....this is why I come back to you each time as I learn so much from what you do. You are a true artist!!!!

[@ericverpeten4249]

Thanks for sharing

[@jamesmorris7581]

Passion the video-- very individual friendly and great deals to see!

[@RestorationAustralia]

Beautiful job well done.

[@jonathanbaker4936]

superb and beautifully done. You learned from your mistakes and grow from there. I model cars ( American mainly) and I enjoy doing so and I learned from my mistakes and I build better kits than the ones before.

[@AlexModeling]

Realy love American builders who build theyr mechanical Heritage! Kudos

[@mathiastrum4582]

Oh i understand your Problem so much. Yesterday i have the same. But i took it to a box with oven cleaner for 24 hours and it works nice. After 24h the paint go off nicly with a tooth brush and warm water. My Problem was the paint himself i think. But in the end i don't really know. Maybe it was the paint in comparison with my airbrush technique. But now i will try Tamiya Spraycans. Maybe it works better. But at the end of the day we have learned a lot and make it better next time. That is the magic of Modell making. See ya. And your Modell still looks good. 👍

[@ChrisMorgan-hr4gv]

those who never made a mistake never made anything,this still looks very good.

[@HamilkarBarkasScaleModelling]

Thanks for taking us to the journey of building a lovely Merc :) You have picked the right color, mine is silver, too, and for their race cars of the 1930s they still carry the name Silberpfeil, which means silver arrow. Too bad you ruined the paintwork, but you made an excellent recovery there. It just shows that giving up is not an option :)

[@ericverpeten8503]

great build

[@nikolaosstavrou5327]

I learned the hard way!

[@SirDevious1]

I have had the paint go to shit on a couple of my builds this year.....things I have done a dozen times with product I have used many times.....I did the same as tou... got mad, then stripped the paint and started over. Glad you stuck with it and let us see that even high skill level modelers have their bad days. Well done!

[@t.j.lemaster8653]

Oh wow man... I've had that happen to me several times.. It's cool that you were able to recover it though !

[@SlovakianLynx]

I don't like modern cars (actually I don't like most of modern things), but you did a good job on this, despite the imperfections. And I agree. Modelling isn't about perfection. Having fun is what matters the most ;)

[@AlexModeling]

Great to see you my friend

[@davidhinkson8856]

Boy, that was a hard one at the end with that clear coat dilemma! Always happens when you're near the end and making good progress! Thankfully you managed to save it and it looks great now it's complete. Well detailed kit too.

[@AlexModeling]

Its just One of those things... When you think the hardware part its done... Its the easiest that Kills you

[@jamesmaroon6161]

Hey Alex. You know, like you said as long as you enjoy the model, and the model making process. I think that is all that matters. Pretty nice car. I liked the video. Have a Great weekend.

[@colindutton459]

So what if it's not perfect, looks bloody good to me. The most important thing is that you had fun building it and that's what it is all about, enjoying the hobby. All the best.

[@Rahul-pq4sd]

so sick man you did an amazing job

[@AlexModeling]

Thanks

[@ericverpeten4249]

Well done

[@JohnPol]

turn out great I didn`t know you had to spray black under the AK metal paint

[@AlexModeling]

Always do... Glossy black

[@KarlM74]

Well done, great to see a video acknowledging that mistakes happen, and that you didn't let it ruin your experience. I know first hand making mistakes, and in EVERY build, I see the things I could have done better...but I'm always learning from them, and seeing my skills improve. Really enjoy your channel.

[@AlexModeling]

Im not a "Fórmula 1 all perfect" modeler. All i know i learned here and tested it and tried it. If the shit guys the fan... So BE it... I don t have 400.000 subescribers but trully believe the ones i have are the best. no filters... Just my opinion. Cheers

[@kevinchapman635]

That car would look great as a burnt orange / rusty color !

[@johnkeller9448]

Hi Alex. Build it better then you think you can. With a smile.

[@AlexModeling]

its not perfect mate! but i learned alot

[@tomashorvath6616]

[@MikeCindyWhite]

Great video, awesome build bud! 👍👍

[@jackp.2807]

Great vid!

[@marianmm7034]

Nádherné!!! Výborná práca Alex!!!

[@voodoonights1671]

Well done Alex. Good to see i am not the only one who sometimes struggles with cars! I need more practice, it's all a bit of a black art.

[@sandwitch1613]

Looks good to me, the orange peel is barely visible, but hey - just make the next one look better! Learning from mistakes is what brought humans to civilization!

[@CapLAGOS]

i like! great Video Alex! is fun to watch your videos^^

[@AlexModeling]

Thanks 'Cap! Honored

[@user-ro1cs5hp5e]

I hope one of these days u will be able to purchase a similar car for urself ;) so u wont need to model them (cars) in order to enjoy the excitement :D whatever the case thanks for taking ur time and uploading the video, much appreciated :)

[@AlexModeling]

I already have a C220 AMG Kompressor Mercedes from 1995 all steel color and leather interiores and love my car

[@user-ro1cs5hp5e]

@@AlexModeling lovely but, well maybe time to switch to a new more eco friendly car? like an electric car? ;) :P

[@jbll36]

Hello Alex. Car looks awesome!! Better then the cars l tried to do. Enjoy the day. Ray L

[@danteparks3871]

i've always wanted to build a model but i never actually have, do you have any beginner car models i can build???

[@Ashtonpp]

I would start with the snap on models since most of them dont use paint or glue(look for level one) level two,three,four, and five models all require glue, paint, and patients! But that's how I got started.🙂

[@srbskikralj]

love it Alex, looks good

[@XZasCC]

Hi Alex, I'm they guy who recognized you on facebook the other day, I ended up making a modelling channel too haha. Love your vids man

[@AlexModeling]

Cheers!

Beautiful build!!

Same First Name - and same Hobby. I like your work and the way you film it. 1+ Subscriber. Keep Modelling Alex ;)

[@91deathbat]

Looks good to me! Im also having trouble with a kit and trying not to throw it into the bin ... I guess i will do the same as you, keep trying and it will, eventualy, get painted correctly. Cheers mate

[@AlexModeling]

Não desistas!!

[@ninogrosjean518]

Hey ! I really liked you video, your car is beatiful. I’ m new in the modeling world and I would like tu buy my first kit. I wanted to know what you would admise me to buy as a first kit and what i would find inside of it. Is there any painting or glue... ? Thank you !

[@jodyblackwell9012]

obrigado bien hecho, thank you well done

[@AlexModeling]

Gracias!

[@fubarmodelyard1392]

Welcome to the world of car modeling. I know you've heard us speak of the purple pond or green lagoon. Stripping bodies is commonplace. I had to strip my black wagon 3 times. Never surrender. You should get a crappy mpc car kit for practice. Forge ahead brother

[@AlexModeling]

Thanks! Its not easy

[@smokingspitfire1197]

This is really good for a first car. I've been building cars for just over a year now. Throw me a message if you'd like some more advice?

[@AlexModeling]

Thanks!

[@Ken-sl4um]

so why did the paint react the way it did? was everything OK till the 2k?

[@Aliktren]

Well done, i hate/love cars for most of the reasons you encountered all of which ive had. Also im in portugal this summer so will try and visit your friends shop :)

[@AlexModeling]

Nice weatger, dois and people... You Will like it here

[@iryairya2008]

So..how is that orange peel actually happen? Because of the clear coat? Or the paint is too rough? Or what?

[@mauriciograndmaison1733]

Tive o mesmo problema em um F 18 'blue angel" .Pinturas com acabamento brilhante nao sao facil...modelando com um sorriso sempre.

How do you fix stickers ?

[@starlite-sw5wr]

are the wheels movable?

[@rogerdreier2584]

Hi Alex, is there anything you don't build ? 😜

[@AlexModeling]

A little bit of everything i guess! However Im going to slow on my Heller HMS VICTORY! I think i build a bit of Almost everything

[@nikolaosstavrou5327]

For primer I use etch primer from auto motive store. It binds to the surface. plastic or metal and it does not build on top of the model.

Did you ever find out what caused the reaction ?

Never spray 2k paints or varnish on top of acrylic paints or varnish.

[@AlexModeling]

Now i know that. Thanks

When to quit, always a significant question. Although according to Albert Camus the only philosophical question is whether or not to commit suicide.

Never to do that☺️👍
