Magman Posted July 5, 2021 Share #1 Posted July 5, 2021 Hi I am magman. New to ship models but not modelling.

Freezing Parrot Posted July 5, 2021 Share #3 Posted July 5, 2021 In case you haven't already decided on a ship to build, you may want to type "first build" in the search box and peruse the results. You'll get an idea of what ships other people chose, and how it worked out for them. Some models rated for beginners aren't a great choice, and some that seem too difficult have been very successfully built by a first timer. The build logs are a wealth of useful tips, tricks, methods, and examples. mtaylor, JeffT, Magman and 1 other 4 Quote Mike currently SE of Disorder Current Build: HM Cutter Lady Nelson - Amati Previous Build: Swift 1805 - Artesania Latina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
