newbie in modeling

Ok

well,iv seen what kind if cool hobby this is and i am thinking about starting it.

i wana get either a civic or a acura integra. does anyone have any good sugestions about which company i should get the kits from??

this is what im thinking bout buying as my tools:


Brushes (Sizes 1, 0, 000)
Plastic glue
Clear glue, such as Kristal clear
spray paint( is this a good idea??)

putty??do i really need i for my first kit?

plastic cement? is this like plastic glue??

thanks on any info
:flash: :sun: :flash:

Fujimi kits i find are easy for beginners while Tamiya requres alot of experience

thanks a lot!

any other info??:)

use primer ..... its a must.... at first i ignore this and i got really bad results... i dun really use plastic cement... i prefer crazy glue... but hey its all the same...
just remeber the small details like warming the can before spraying... adn giving it a light spray and you should do fine!!.... and when you are talking about putty which kind are you talkin about

Umm...

You should seriously get some Tamiya masking tape for those little details, but remember, if this is your first kit, go easy on it, and make sure you don't get so fustrated that you quit, also if possible, buy a can of "patience" ;)

You should swap the names. Tamiya fits perfectly requiring no putty or sanding, while Fujimi.... you better buy an extra tube of putty.

im either go na go wiht yellow,white or maybe dark purple( lets get wild)!
