i never find why people will build them for fun or something...modeling is an art....to make it perfect is the goal(even it's impossible)

and...about your training part...i don't really see the point, cuz
A, some ppl are just not planning to do the model normally ....they think it's just "fun" which i really can't accept myself...
B, it is rather hard to teach without a person being around or having a DC
C, i learned all the skills just from hobby japan...=.=b i don't see much point telling you what to do...just buy whole bunch of kits and do tests on them and you wiill find the way

No, Its for fun.

i dont really know whats going on here but i model for:

1. fun
2. its cool to see your creation (you feel quite proud onces its done
3. showing off

thats pretty much it. And even though some of you might not think perfecting it is fun and think that PTX is getting too uptight about it, trust me, the more work you put into something (in this case modeling) the better you feel about it when its done. I have a MG freedom from gundam seed which i bought a year ago and i'm still tweaking it every now and then to make it look better, i hope you dont consider me obsessed with modeling just because i want it to look as good as possible, which is PTX's point here. ZGMF X10A, if you like gundam seed so much to make your name the factory code of freedom, then i think you'll understand that making a gundam look good, is essential for some, and others (beginners) might not want to put as much time into it.

Jonathan-san, i recommend you go for HG 1/100 scale. (the 1/144 scales used to piss me off because they were so small and no offense but i dont think your ready for a 1/60.

i am still working on my MG RX-78-2 Ver 1.5......it's already half a year...and i only finished with the arms and legs....i am still screwing around with the body parts.....kinda busy drilling holes recently...^^b
already drilled over 12 holes inside the chest armor....=.=|||

i think HG 1/144 is better for him, since HG is good for beginers and experts...it's the best scale and detail for customize or beginers....^^

btw...talk about factory codes....anyone notice where's my name from^^

I don't want to show off but, It took me three days too finish my HG Heavy arms custom.

time was never the real problem...
if without customizing, sanding and painting...if just count knife work and building...1.5 hour is more than enough.....if with customizing and all the crap...3 days is definitely not enough..it takes a week at least...

1. no i dont know where your names from
2. i thought 1/100 would be better only because when i was a beginner, i was more proud of my bigger projects than the little ones. Also, he looks like a guy that would like some ego inflation.
