Hi,
I've started Two kits back in September for fun, a TL-1 and a SG-1F (although in retrospect I wish I had of got the SG-2, which is more consistent with the look I was after and with a bolt on instead of glue on neck. I think I was swayed by the soldering difficulty descriptions.)
My excuse to the family was they'll be Xmas presents for the kids, and with them helping to make them hopefully they'll mean something a bit more special as time goes by.
I've been checking the forum since I ordered the kits and feeling a bit guilty that I'm not as fastidious in the build as everyone else, but it's supposed to be for fun, not frustration.
I Hope you enjoy my posts as we progress.
