[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by BRAKIE [/quote] I'm a smart, gifted and talented individual, and can build, assemble or repair just about anything you put in front of me - or at least I'll try. However, I don't put other people down because they can't. It took many years of trial and error for me to learn what I know and develop my skills. We're not all put together exactly alike. I also buy RTR any time I can. Tracklayer [/quote] Guys like us can take the bull by the horns and build kits,repair locomotives add details etc. Sadly my friend modelers like us are a dying breed seeing how most modelers whine on forums about a minor problem that can be easily fix or a missing detail part(s) that can easily be added by using a after market detail part(s). What a lot of younger and some older modelers don't know would fill volumes.What they do know would fill a small booklet yet they think their selves a "expert" by assembling those kits or reading layout books.You see by assembling a few shake the box kits or building a layout from a book plan does not make a modeler.How do I know this? Just look at the simple no brainer questions being ask today that just a few years ago we would have been to embarrass to ask and would look up the answer or better figure the answer out on our own.Of course I am never sure if its laziness or what with today's modelers.. Being a modeler involves a lot more then kit vs RTR..Just as soon as modelers figure that out we will have more modelers and less whiners regardless of age and skill level.. [/quote]this is one of the reasons i got out of rc airplains. I was assumming that this is where i was to come when i have (so called dumb) questions . i allready spent over $150.00 on books and info trying to learn about the hobby and still dont have nothing to show for my money . i did buy a few Athearn (i think thease are what u call blue box kits but being dumb im not sure) cars yesterday and a building just to do something besides reading. i guess asking questons is a dumb thing to do so insteadof enjoying the hobby i will not be in it to long sence i dont want to ask dumn questons on here anymore.
