hi! im lito, new to FSM and im planning to start building projects which i could afford. do anyone from you advise me what project to start with which is simple to build for the beginners. you know im from philippines, is it possible for me to order any of those kits i’ve seen in the forum? if yes, could i order it through postal money order? i don’t have any teller card which is accredited in the international business… like the master card. thank you and i hope someone could enlighten me regarding this matter.
Welcome to FSM Lito611123. Good to have you join us here.
Before suggesting any kits, what do you have an interest in? aircraft, armour,ships, etc?
There are several members here from the Philippines, and they should be able to help you with where and how to buy.
Enjoy the forums !!!

Welcome to the forums Lito!!!
Welcome to FSM Lito,it’s a great place to start out in the hobby with for sure.
Welcome to FSM Lito. If you are just starting, I would suggest you check out some of these shops. They have lots of kits available. I have just also started and never needed to order directly from abroad yet.
Lil’s Hobby Shop @ Lower Ground of SM Megamall Bldg. A
Lil’s Hobby Shop @ Parksquare in Glorietta
Hobbies and Comics (or was that Comics and Hobbies?) @ Makati Cinima Square
Good luck, Pare.
Hi and welcome Lito

Welcome to the forums, lito!
Hi lito, and welcome to the asylum.
Hi lito, welcome.
Welcome to the forum, Lito. Have fun & enjoy the site !
Mainit na pagsalubong, Lito! (Warm welcome, Lito).
Dwight said it right there. You could get good deals from these stores. If you go to Hobbies and Comics ask for Roel. There’s also a place in Harrison Plaza called JMNs (ask for Natalie) that sells great stuff. Maybe you can order from there too. Hope to see more of your posts, Kabayan!

Hey, Lito! Nice to hear from another Filipino modeler! I know what it’s like to be on a tight budget, so i know what you mean about cheap kits - be warned how ever: a lot of people here have trouble explaining to wives/parents about the number of unbuilt kits they have! Like shermie said, what is it you’re interested in? [:D]
Dwight and Allan have mentioned most of the shops already, but there’s also “Special Toys” in Virra Mall, Rustan’s Cubao and SM North Edsa.
Oh, and this is for all the Filipino modelers out there: Natalie said that she can order stuff for you from abroad, for as long as it’s from http://www.hannants.co.uk !! (It’s kinda dangerous, really…) Oh and allan, she says Hi. [:)]
Shrikes,
Ive actually placed several orders from Nats (been doing business with her for more than a decade) and received most of them, the only exceptions were the times the items werent in stock. Trivia: Roel of H&S is in fact her hubby. Hehehe!
Welcome to FSM Lito611123. I hope you will enjoy your stay here.

Ooops. When i meant dangerous, i actually meant dangerous to the bank account, but i fogot to add that… [:)]
Hehehe… that’s rather cute: two hobby store owners going out with each other… kinda like fraternizing with the enemy. [:D]
