Im new to this, and i really wanna get into this hobby, so how should i start... A few years ago i made my first model it was a skill 3 i think, it was a viper, i painted the body and put it together, and when it was complete for some reason i think i had a part or two left over and then my older brother poked it and every single piece fell apart and i threw it away...:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ..., so i was wandering where is a good place to start...


EDIT: ... spelled newbie wrong...
EDIT2: of forgot to mention, my dad has a few hard testors Skill 3 that i might be able to borrow but i dunno...

First off Welcome:wave:

A good place to start are models that can be found everywhere and those would be Revell Monogram. Alot of people I have talked to have started off w/the integra type R. Might want to consider this route.

WELCOME!

I would start with anything made by Revell-Monogram, and probably Level 2. Maybe the Integra Type R Make sure you use testors glue, and dont put too little or too much.

Thats where to start

First, Read the FAQ, should help some simple questions... For first kits, most people, and i reccomend, to buy Cheaper, easier kits such as Revell and monogram, Just so you don't end up wasting a lot of money, for projects that r most likely not going to turn out as good as you would hope....

Look at the FAQ and it shoudl tell u eveyrthing you need to be a great modeller..
