Hello,
I just joined this community yesterday because I needed something for a kit,
which you can read in my other post.
But I was thinking, I would like to try and see if I can do this kind of thing.
Now I just wanted to ask some things:
First of all, could I just pick up a thing like this out of almost nothing?
Or will I have to invest a lot of money and time before I can get any decent results?
Keep in mind that I do have quite some basic technical abilities.
Like I could build a computer,
I would always get good grades for building simpler things in sch**l.
I'm quite technically handy, but on the other side things aren't always obious to me,
so it's kind of mixed.
I would also not be good at math things, not the more complex things anways.
As a kid, I am almost 20 now, I would have some kits to build and paint and such things.
But I would start with them and never quite finish them.
I could either not get it done or I would get bored, but I'm more patient today.
What I am interested in, for model-building, is more like vehicles,
mostly from war and such things, such as planes, ships, tanks, etc.
Like I yesterday found a kit with the HMS Ark Royal...
I don't know the ship, but I thought "Hay, that looks pretty kool,
especially if I could get the model done." .
Because lately I've been getting into war/battle-vehicles/weaponary/etc.,
so this model appeals to me.
Like I would love to pick up a kit of the Flying Fortress and get it done.
And I just like about any vehicle anyways, it's all pretty interesting to me.
So anyways, is this something I could just pick up and do?
And I mean the not too complex kits, such as 2 that I have by Revell,
you could also occasionally find in toy-stores I guess.
First of all the building of course, but also the painting of them usually.
Besides all the practice, is it expensive and is it really time-consuming
or is it not that bad?
Thanx for reading.
