Hey Schroeder,That does sound like a pretty intimidating kit! Have you done any modeling or painting before buying this kit? If not, I would recommend that you start with something smaller just to get your hands dirty and hold off on the Dragon Wagon until you've got through that one successfully. There are a lot of steps to building a kit of that size and complexity and they can be pretty intimidating. Starting small lets you build your skills and confidence so that your Dragon Wagon will turn out awesome when you are ready to tackle it. Also, if you live in or around the Twin Cities, you should come to one of our meetings and seek advice. We meet on the second Friday of each month at Fleming Field in St. Paul. If you don't live in the area, ask around at your local hobby shop about modeling clubs in your area and find one that you can join. There's also lots of tips and information available online as well as tutorials, reference sources and supplies. You definitely should be able so find the support you need, but I still think the best advice is to start small. Hope this helps. Do you find this valuable? |

That is quite a daunting model to get back into modeling. May I suggest you build it straight from the box and don't get any detail sets for it. Just the basic model will be enough to occupy you. I wouldn't want you to get burnt out right away getting back into the modeling. The kit is complex but it is Tamiya quality for fit so the model is very buildable. I've started mine but have decided to get some extra photo-etch detail sets and using the TM to add some details. Please post the results when you are finished.
