I have been intimidated by large scale models too long so I?ve decided to take my first baby step by joining this site.  Having the entire collections of Dave Platt?s Videos/DVDs has inspired me to take the plunge.

I thought about doing some practice on certain subjects like planking, fiber glassing, making molds etc.. but doing it separate from a scale model.  Maybe this will help build up my confidence and then I can apply when I?m building a big scale model project.

Or maybe I should just jump right into a project and build up my skills that way.  Does anyone have any suggestion??

Well at least I can possibly get some awesome tips and ideas from the experience model builders out there.

Chat with you later.

Derrick

Hey D - so glad you decided to take the plunge.  Be sure and check out the benefits of becoming a site supporter at this link: http://www.rcscalebuilder.com/page_display.asp?pid=5  At $20 a year it is way less than most magazine subscriptions and is FOCUSED on scale.

There are a couple other Querques on the site, and Pat Trittle is in that area too. Watch out for Puff Daddy!

Pat is a great individual and I have enjoyed talking with him and visiting his house is always a pleasure as you never know what you will see him working on. I use to live in Farmington and traveled to Alb all the time for events and his electrics are the best you will see and he is a great pilot.
