Build a model airplane, car, or ship.

“Building a FF model also felt daunting. [...] Ashton and I worked on this build for a few hours at a time, so we divided the process into some manageable steps throughout the course of a few days. The instructions that came with the kit were detailed and had helpful photo illustrations. We were able to build successful Ritzy 20s despite the learning curve of never having built with balsa. [...] There’s just something satisfying—and, honestly, kind of magical—about seeing a model, to which you have dedicated hours of careful building and painstaking attention, take off and fly as it was built to do. For the first time, I felt like I was taking the right steps to becoming a more confident modeler.”

“We felt good when the person who helped us asked how many airplanes we had built before. With a gleam in our eyes, we could say, “This is number one.” When my wife helped Ryan order the kit, she thought a complete airplane for less than $60 was a good deal. She forgot to ask what a “complete” kit meant. About $500 later, she had the answer: a pile of sticks, a set of plans, and a book with a few pictures (if you’re fortunate)! [...] Building our first airplane was mostly enjoyable. After we learned some terms, and when it sunk in where parts belonged, building was much easier. However, there certainly were times of frustration. [...] When my thumb got stuck to the airplane, I learned that debonder has a purpose.”

“Great point, I created A mess with my accent line paints, had to go back and remove a ton of excess after I already clear coated, they recommended enamel thinner, I did use it and helped me remove a lot, but I was using a great deal of pressure while doing it as well and at one point decided to stop and leave the rest, before possibly breaking the wings off, Lol [...] eventually got the panel accent line color from Tamiya, and it was much better then...man I tell you, all new for me, what a learning experience!”
