prototypep3 Posted January 5, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 5, 2020 Hi everyone, just starting out with this hobby with not a lot of background in modelling outside of some cheap plastic ones in my teens. Coming into this with a background in PC building and a love of working on projects by hand. I've set a few goals for myself, first of which is to buy a model and just see if I enjoy the hobby to begin with (I followed the NRG recommended beginner models resource and got a mamoli kit). If all goes well I'd be very interested on where to go next in terms of learning planking and building up my skillset. ccoyle, JeffT, EricWilliamMarshall and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
