How to become a good modeler...

[tonioseven]

Ask questions
Read the FAQ
Try new ideas or old ones that seem interesting
Practice painting instead of getting others to paint for you (where's the sense of accomplishment in THAT?!)
Practice without being afraid of messing up; it goes with the territory!
Ask more questions!
Practice some more!
Do research (magazines, AF, AF, AF, books, the web, etc.)
Practice some more!
I don't necessarily think I'm a good modeler but I'm not afraid to try anything that will make me better so if I learn something, then I think that's cool. If you want to get someone else to build your models, cool but don't mess the hobby up by presenting something as something you built but you really didn't. Happy modelling:grey:
Management does not necessarily endorse the above-stated opinion.

Be patient - If your not a patient person then learn, its absolutely key to the hobby!
Dont cut corners, you won't be satisfied with the result.

Build a car YOU like, not a car you think others will like.

Spend more time at your workbench and less time on AF asking irrelevant questions......

Doing this, would make you appriciate your own style and make you look forward to making the next model.

If you don't like body kits and others do, and you proceed to make a body kit that you don't like, then, you're not gonna have fun. And if you dont have fun, you'll probably mess something up. You understand now?

dun do anything stupid like not priming your car and wasting two cans of paint on it which result in a very very thick coat! thick enough u cant even c any panel lines ....lol

i learned the hard way , but i will never make the same mistake again!

It's like playing a sport, you can analyze and theorize all you want, but when it comes down to it it's the actual experience of modeling that will make you the better modeler

i will second everything he says, along with the "take your time" bit and ESPECIALLY the FAQ bit. seems we have alot of n00bs (not pointing fingers) that deem themselves too good to read the FAQ and instead make threads asking questions that could have easily been answered had they taken the time to read the FAQ.
