Re: I need to know which kit to buy, how to build it, and what color it should be

While I agree with the topic of the thread, as is evident by my above post, I think we are being way too critical of the n00bs, perhaps to the extent of being unwelcoming to new members?

The first thing the AF user guidelines reminds us of is to be friendly and welcoming. While I will admit that many of the questions we see coming up(like what color to paint things or how should one customise their model), we need to be tolerant and try to make them feel welcome.

Like many of you, when I see questions which are answered very comprehensively in the FAQ or 'How to' section, I cringe and wish the person posing the question would just do the sensible thing and read those sections.
The same goes for the questions about how do we want to see a model customised or painted, let personal preference reign instead or peer opinion.

I guess what I am trying to say is that, while I am in agreement that is is aggravating as hell to us older members to see the same stuff over-and-over, let's try to be more tolerant of the n00bs(I know it is difficult, but trying is a good first step).
