Hiya V45  :wave:

Welcome to the collective :borg:

You have some nice machines. I am jealous of the g0704!

Why only static models though? There are some things you can build that aren't just static that will allow you to work on your skills.

 The biggest reason for static models 1st is to use them a plans for running ones. I make some parts for my bike as well. I'm still learning...it will get there with time and practice !!
Thanx for the welcome !!! I'm sure I will gain lots of info here that I'm in dire need of !!
