Re: Introduce yourself to the Forum Please read this first
My name is Manny Abadie; I joined the forum about two/three years ago, I live in Oceanside, CA, I am married with four kids, US army veteran, Electrical Engineer, retired.
My principal hobbies are: tennis, gardening (I got 30 roses that keep me very busy), I love reading, specially biographies and historical books. I do lots handy work for wife and kids.
So far I haven’t started any project. One of my goals for this year is to do my first model. I have a few questions that I need to get answers to build my confidence, before I do my first project.
1. For a beginner what type of model do you recommend?
could a beginner build the US Constitution?
2. American vs. Europeans kits…which are better for a beginner?
3. How good are the drawings and which manufacturer produce the
best drawings?
4. How complete are the kits……do I need to make any part base
on the drawings? Are the parts well engineered that do not
Required mayor adjustments?
5. Do you recommend a kit with a solid hull? Or try for the
experience a hull build with planks? How difficult it is for a
beginner to build a hull with planking?
6. Regarding tools…….what do you recommend? What will be the
basic kit that I need?
