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. <br /> <br />I've even scratchbuilt two copies of Fine Scale Miniatures kits from their photos in the ads. See my latest building supply dealer on my web pages: <br />http://www.geocities.com/fundynorthern/Diorama.html <br /> <br />Start small and work your way up!
