Shardik Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Welcome, Milt. You really don't need to worry about "measuring up" to the skills of the masters on this forum (I sure don't). If you look around here, you'll find modelers of every level of skill and dedication. One of the nicest things about this site is that there are no elitists here. Everyone's efforts are respected and constructive advice freely given when asked for. First and foremost, we're here to have fun!

If you look around here, you'll find modelers of every level of skill and dedication. I agree. I did the contest thing back in the 1990s and now I build what I want for my shelf without thinking about what anyone else thinks. I believe that the cutting edge of contest building as long passed me by, but I've gotten to a level of building that pleases me. And that's all that counts! In fact, I've taken a building detour towards restoring old customs built in the early 1960s. As I repair them, my only goal is to restore them back to what they were then, and not to improve them any. It's fun to bring these back, without the worries. If you follow along on the build threads, the tips and techniques, you will find yourself building better models.
