Glad to hear there are other people in the same "boat" as me. I have an older 1/350 Academy/Minicraft kit that I started over a
year ago. All I did was paint the hull and the decks. Then, I found this website and discovered that I don't want to continue building
it "out of the box". I bought the new, deluxe 1/350 kit and my plan is to build them in tandem. I'll do everything on the older model
first, and then on the new one. No matter how much I study all the hints, tutorials, etc. I'm bound to learn things the "hard way".
When these two are finished (at least a year from now) I plan to do another one, but this time with fiber optics! If I haven't killed
myself by then, I am thinking of adding an Olympic and a Britannic to my collection.
As a beginner, the information on this site while very interesting, is sometimes overwhelming. I find myself scared to death to
even start. I hope to have some good tips and pictures to add to this site as I learn from this adventure!
