Hi Shipmates

In this hobby just as in life you seek and receive advice.

The best piece of advice I sort out and received lately from one of New Zealands top modellers to my question of how can I improve how do I get to the next level? I was frustarted as I know where I want to be but how do I get there?

Do I need better tools?

Do I need an new airbrush?

Do I need to buy the latest kits?

Am I just doomed to be a modeller of average standard?

His advice was simple "just build and complete more kits" "you will improve with every kit"

Well I have taken his advice plus joined this forum and I feel I am on track again.

I have finished a kit this year and I have two more to work on to completion this year. My goal 3 finished this year.

Whats the best modelling advice you have ever received?


Regards


Sean

It's the same I give to everyone who was in your situation....

Relax and have fun. You'll find that's when you do your best work.
