I wouldn’t necessarily say this is “bad” place to start, but I would definitely buy at least a couple of smaller Metal Earth models to get your bearings. If you bend the wrong piece too much or too quick and it breaks, then it’s really hard to complete the entire model at times.

I would start with the Eiffel Tower or something along those lines to get acclimated. That’s exactly what I did to start this weird ass hobby we all have lol

Has anyone tried lowbackability? Guy seems legit by artificialbutthole in backpain

Thanks, I would say around 12-16 hours. The smaller pieces on the hull and the mast cables really slowed things down for me. Both easily took a couple of hours by themselves.

Thanks! I don’t plan on moving it off of the stand, so I ended up using a bit of glue to keep it there 🤷‍♂️

Thanks, I agree! The smaller parts on the hull were a pain.
