bare minimum supplies needed for first build

this screen is one of the best tools you have

you have access to thousands of other modelers, especially if you take a look around at models that might not be “what you build”,take a look at the ship guys when you get ready to do your first antenna wire, those guys do rigging lines without any connections showing,if you can see how they do all those lines in 1/700 without any glue blobs, you can then go on and do one wire from tail to antenna mast,same deal if you want a “great” gloss coat, take a look at some car modeler’s techniques,“real looking” aircraft tires?, look at some tank builder’s truck tires

just don’t get hung up with your first few kits into thinking you HAVE to build as well as any one certain modeler,let your skills develop at their own pace, most of what you see done by someone on here or any other website is the result of practice, the fun part is that the practice is the hobby, even mistakes help you learn, so don’t be discouraged by those mistakes, just go ahead and make them

ask these people, and you’ll get more answers and tips than you can probably use, lol,but, you always get an answer that worked for someone at least once

welcome to the hobby
