Scale Modeling 101: Practice makes perfect!!

Here I talk about those kits you have in your stash, you know, the ones you say "why did I even get this kit?"........ But every kit has it's purpose. I also show you my A-10.

Wonderful to see those videos about plastic model kits. I love the way you guys describe things. I will do what you guys suggest. Buying cheapo kits and use them to get experience. And I learned about the basic tools  / supplies needed. Big thanks from Ottawa, Canada    -Edouard

Good advice, I've been practicing for over 50 years and still learning new skills..
all the best mate. regards

Excellent philosophy. I had several kits I destroyed trying out new techniques and I had them as a good practice platform. Eventually one of them turned out really well. Thanks for the vid.

Bf-109 G-10. Great kit, you'll like it. I have one on the bench now.

those videos are in my favorites list, the zero resurrection you did was an inspiration to do something with my Apache heli, I always think of that when I watch that video, Thanks and take care!!

Good point about the practise kits. The Do28 I canabalied in the last build was an airbrushing practise kit. Enjoyed the vid.

Great point and idea with this video! I have a chevelle kit that came with a lot on eBay didn't have a use for it but after watching this video now that kit will have a purpose. Think I will use it for my practice building roll cage and other scratch build ideas like tubbing the wheel wells. KUTGW!

I love 1/72, the kits are getting better now days!

I have trouble just finishing kits for some reason. Maybe viewing some of them as practice kits will help me solve that.

That's a good plan sir, I gave up on kit due poor fit issues but I could try still painting it.

Nice idea for a Video; We all have them in our stashes of kits... Keep those videos coming!

Since the Zero rebuild, I find it an enjoyable challenge in taking an old, tired kit and trying to bring it up to something acceptable - well, at least to me. I'm currently working on a very old KoPro MB200 that is a dog of a kit, but with a little tweaking here and there.... !?!?

Great tips Lewis, I enjoyed it very much. Keep on building.

Very good point!! Thanks for the tip DC!! I hope you're having a great weekend!!

we all have these scrap models, but i actually try to build them as good as possible and not for practicing only. usually i try to buy top notch kits, but sometimes an aweful kit can be a nice challenge for me :)

[LTModels]

Yeah Im planning on doing that, hopefully I do a decent job, thanks for the help on the Bf-109!!

[LTModels]

it was a quick lil built, nothing compared to yours. I really wanted to get that kit (Tamiya) but I had a chance to look at the Hobbyboss kit and I REALLY want that kit!! Thanks Lenny for the comment, Cheers!!

[LTModels]

I hear you, your models are always nice!! I'm with you when it comes to doing a kit as a challenge, the F-84 was a challenge and probably one of my most enjoyable builds! thanks for you comments Michael!!

The kit you have, the green plastic Revell messerschmitt a G -10 and someone i know who had that tried so long to work with it, and eventually lost patience and threw it in the bin hahaha. You know its old when it has "Revell 19XX" in raised writing on the wing
