The whole point of this place is to gather up people from all over the country... all over the world, actually. All you need to do is ask your questions here, no Utah residency required!

Junkman Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) Do you already have a basic set of tools and supplies? Have you built models before? You may be interested in the 'On The Workbench' section first. There you can see how other people build their models, maybe even one you have in mind yourself. If there is anything specific you would like to know, just ask. Edited November 10, 2011 by Junkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick do you know some good place are to get models and do you know a loco hobby store to get stuff at like wheels plug wires and stuff like that For cheap models, there's Hobby Lobby in South Jordan, or "Some dudes" Hobbies in West Jordan on Redwood and about 78th. For "one stop shopping" there's a great place in West Valley City at 54th and Redwood. A little pricy, but if anyone is going to have what you're looking for, it is them! They have the best selection of models, paints, and other accesories in the valley... Edited November 10, 2011 by Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Tyler, I recommend your first order of business is to stick around, the other is to run to your public library and check out books and magazines on the subject. Inform yourself, both here and there, and then get going . . . build what you like, and start out with all the basics. Good luck with your styrene addiction.
