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
