As a new old modeler I agree 100%
I can tell when I have done something well and to my abilities but contructive comments are always helpful.
Someone posted a suggestion to use BMF after seeing one of my builds and I tried it. Made a huge difference even though I messed it up in some areas.
I have built 8 kits in the last couple monthe and out of those only 3 I am happy with, but I learn each time from my mistakes.
I see these advanced builders chopping and scratch building and I want to do that too but know I can't...YET.
