Greetings!

Posted by JohnMatt on Sunday, December 4, 2016 11:17 AM

Hi everybody,

New to the forum and the hobby (under one year, working on second kit). My name is John and I'm here to drink in all of your wisdom! Smile

My problem is that while I put in about 10 hours a week, my progress is always painfully slow. I'm something of a perfectionist (or as much as I can be). But that, coupled with my lack of experience makes for very slow going.

Thanks for having me, and I'll see you all on the boards.

No worries John, there’s no race here. If a build takes you 20 years, as long as you are enjoying yourself that’s all that matters.

What are you working on now?

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Welcome! In my experience slower is usually better in modeling. I model for half therapy, half fun :)
