There are many different kinds of Plastic Model Kits out there and it would seem that many of these are just not suitable for people that are just getting into the hobby. what kind of model kits are really good for the people actually new to the hobby and which are the ones they should stay away from?
The Do’s
Lego
A lot of people do not think that Lego is a model kit at all, I would disagree which is why of course it is on the list. This kind of thing really is fantastic for a first time builder and this is because instructions are both simple and end results are brilliant. Even the really expensive models that are huge are still easy to follow which is why it is top of the list.
The Middle
RC Models
Okay so driving around RC vehicles like RC Helicopter is something that is pretty easy to do but the reason this doesn’t fall in the do’s category is simple because they are very hard things to build and repair and this is the reason why they are really hard to get into. If you are looking for a bit of a laugh then these are the way forward but once they break, if you cannot repair them then that is it. The same goes for things like Scalextric Sets.
The Don’ts
Matchstick Models
These models are really good if you can get into them but very hard to set up, I mean very hard. Not only are the instructions hard to handle if you are building from a pack but they are even harder to build if you are building them yourself.
If someone is starting up the hobby then you need to make sure you get the right thing.
