Good tips. I can't emphasise enough the power of doing design studies. Bits and pieces that you can work from after you're happy. In fact, building, then copying and improving with the other one in front of you, if you have enough pieces, is a GREAT (...) (26 years ago, 6-Mar-99, to lugnet.build)

Hi Anne, I have a few suggestions for you. 1. Start small. Leave the 2 foot long masterpiece till later and build smaller simpler things for now. They can be small versions of the whatever-it-is you want to build 2 feet long <g>. 2. Know what you're (...) (26 years ago, 6-Mar-99, to lugnet.build)

Tom's tips are great. I suggest starting slowly. Like drawing still life, start with simple, manageable projects. Build one room houses, simple trucks and planes. Things no bigger than 2 handfulls. My father taught me to build with wood by making me (...) (26 years ago, 6-Mar-99, to lugnet.build)
