Stormaple Posted May 2 #1 Posted May 2 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.
