Stormaple Posted Friday at 08:39 PM #1 Posted Friday at 08:39 PM Hey y'all, decided to join after reading a bunch of useful posts as I bungled through my first model. Don't have a lot of experience with modeling, having only built a few plastic models in the past. However, wood models feel much better to build so far and I'm excited to continue developing skills.

Snug Harbor Johnny Posted Friday at 09:32 PM #4 Posted Friday at 09:32 PM I find that wood can be re-worked or improved easier than plastic or metal - although a project can easily be multi-media as desired.
