Okay the idea behind this thread is simple, users tend to ask questions that are, for better words, either easy to find common knowledge or sound pretty funny.

An inexperienced person trying to build a complex kit: something is bound to go wrong. That is why I am seeking the wise model builders of this forum to aid me through my first journey.

Does anyone have any suggestions on some general basic reading, guides, or links on how to get started with Bandai 1/72 snap together models?
