Hello all.

Welcome aboard!  The artist is always their worst critic.  Allow yourself to make errors.

Hello, and welcome.  I am fairly new to kit building, and also suffer from "perfectionistic paralysis" in which I get so concerned about doing the kit to perfection that I end up doing nothing.  You will see examples of kit building on this forum that are absolutely phenomenal, but please bear in mind that these are very experienced builders who have put a lot of time into learning their skills.  Ask questions, watch videos on youtube, follow works in progress, but most of all, dig in.  You will learn best by making your own mistakes.  One of the great benefits of kit building is that it allows you to focus on the kit, and clear your mind of life issues for a while.  There is a wealth of information on this forum, and the members are friendly and helpful.  Enjoy!

Welcome to the forums!  And as some have expressed, others of us here has things of our own that we deal with.  I lost my wife of over 25 years in 2015, so I know what you mean about depression.  But like Toshi said, this hobby is a life saver.  Me doing models is my happy place.  LOL!  So jump on in, have fun and don't worry about asking questions...I've technically been building for over 30 years and I still ask questions!  LOL!  Glad to have you on the forums!

Welcome to the Forums!

Thanks :-)

I'm disabled and suffer from those issues and much much more as well on a daily basis.  I build WWII Aircraft.  And some jets.  This hobby has saved my life!  I'm not saying this will happen to you too but give it a go and work hard at it.  I've only been doing this for two years and it has taken the sun and opened the clouds.

WElcome aboard, nice to have another Brit in the gang.
