What do I need to make this?

[megadarkwood]

Hi, I just joined this forum so I can ask this question. I would like to become more active here also.

Anyways, I want to make my very first model car and would like to know what I would need to build this: http://www.revell.com/model-kits/cars/85-2097.html#.U269P_ldV8E ?

Also, should I start with a level 1 model? Or give that level 2 one a shot?

Thanks a lot guys.

As most builders here will say, "Build what makes you happy."

If this kit excites you enough to build it then go for it, if, perchance it doesn't turn out like you feel it should, don't get discouraged. Figure out what needs more skills and work from there.

Use these forums for ideas, skill improvements and feedback.

You will need some basic tools but I suggest doing a lot of reading in these forums before you start, most of the tasks/problems you will run into have already been discussed in the forum threads and solutions have been found.

I second the getting tips and how tos from this site before you go out and buy much. I know you are just itching to jump right in but if you take it slowly and and think about not only what you are doing but what will be the next steps and how the task at hand will effect it. I am 63yrs old and have been in and out of this hobby a few times and in the short time I have been here I have learned a lot.

Don't be discouraged by your work not looking as good as someone else . You are building for your enjoyment not theirs. I don't care how good you are someone out there will do better. Welcome to the hobby and don't be afraid to ask quesions

I agree with the previous few statements I have been building since I was a kid and thought I was pretty good at it but then I saw some of the work on here and was blown away by the quality. At first it was intimidating but I have learned so much just by reading all of the posts and looking at the pictures that are posted. This forum is a great resource and everybody on here is very helpful I look forward to seeing your Shelby when its done!!!
