I am so impressed by these. I have never had the patience to do that sort of thing, so I never tried. I remember going half crazy with a model airplane, getting the right color shades and making sure the paint doesn't bubble and that you don't use so much glue and that the decals go on flat. My first airplane was...pretty pathetic Maybe if someone gave me advice on how to put together a good model, I would try something again

I recommend it. Give it a try. As you can see they look really good when put together. I usually spend about 15 minutes every two or three days adjusting there positions in my display case. There is nothing like a new position to re-invigorate the modeling spirit.

There is also a great sense of pride one feels in looking at a completed model. It also builds, at least for me a new connections to series that the models are based on. Have fun, and good modeling!

Don't worry! These models are a lot easier to put together. There is no glue! And painting is optional. None of my models are painted. I've always been a little afraid to. Still, they don't look too bad do they?

There are models for every skill level and budget. I'll admit that I'm not terribly good at it. However, the models tend to be so well designed that it's not too bad.

As for advice. If you are still indecisive, buy a cheap one and try. There is nothing like experience. I do have to acknowledge that my first model came out...well it wasn't bad, but I can't say it was good either. Just try.

Good luck! I'm sure that soon we'll see you making some great models!

I just purchased some new models. Until I get them made though this should entertain you.

Here is another view of the same model.

you keep posting more pictures and i keep wanting to make one even more.
could you recommend a site where i can order a kit?
