[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by IRONROOSTER Assuming you have built some simple kits, I would recommend that you build some craftsman kits...[/quote] Just what I was going to say, because that's how I got started. I built several Campbell kits, starting with a small simple one, then on to a water tower and coaling tower, and then a Fine Scale Miniatures kit. They supply all of the material, methods, techniques, etc., and will teach you all of the basics. After I had built several kits, I realised that I was paying a fair amount for some basic materials that I could buy myself. I used methods learned in putting the kits together to make my own original models, and engine house and then a machine shop. I've even scratchbuilt two copies of Fine Scale Miniatures kits from their photos in the ads.
