The Little World

Be careful in your selection – you want something that will disturb and haunt you for a long time to come.

The thing to do is go to the hobby shop and search the shelves until you find something that is both impossibly expensive and horribly complex. Preferably with a complicated colour scheme and a difficult decal sheet.

Try not to select something that you have always wanted -rather pick a kit that doesn’t appeal to you. The task you are setting yourself is modelling unhappiness, not the reverse. This is going to be a character-building exercise, and you want to end up with a nasty experience.

Why, I hear you ask…Because you will learn a great deal more from this than you would from a simpler kit. The difficulties will daunt you, then challenge you, and finally infuriate you. As you overcome what you spent your money to get into, you will become a better modeller.

The damn thing may become your favourite model in the collection.
