1st Build!.....

Hola, after years of wanting and procrastinating, I decided to attempt a build. I expect many mistakes…some already made, but will learn and build again.

Start Date: 8/16/15

After several days of snooping here and Pinterest… I decided to go with a foam build.

It begins to take shape. At this point everything is still just cut outs and no gluing has been done.

After a trip to Dollar Tree and some nice finds, gluing has begun. And then I saw what I did… the shame…

Since gorilla glue is a sign of permanent failure, I suck it up and move on. Here is the first coat of silver primer. Not too concerned with imperfections on the surface as I plan to weather heavily.

I’ll attempt to update as I go, but for now, I’m pretty pleased with my 1st build progress and already have received several compliments on it. :smiley:

Looks great so far.

Pink foam! That takes me back (I used it for my aborted first attempt at a Pack all the way back in 2002/2003.) :slight_smile:

My first pack was pink foam. It’s still out there.

lol, I’ve noticed alot of 1st builds were pink foam! I’m already planning the next to be wood based :smiley:
