Choose your model, and take it easy
By now you probably have a good idea of what you would like to build. Of course, that’s up to you. But here’s some advice: Keep the first one easy. Many kits are labeled with “skill level” or degree of difficulty indicated on the box. Or, you can read FineScale Modeler magazine Workbench Reviews, which almost always conclude with a recommendation of the appropriate expertise required to build that model.
In other words, take a few practice cuts before swinging away. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a simple model well built.
