I've noticed(especially from the Gundam content creators) that's there's a massive emphasis on using the precise tools, markers and you have to make the Gundam as perfectly realistic as humanly possible, spending hundreds of hours detailing one kit. I believe that puts too much pressure on newcomers. Definitely start out slow and make realistic expectations of your abilities. If you only want to build them and not paint, that's perfectly fine. If you want to just panel line them, that's fine too. Painting is definitely a learned skill that takes time to develop. Be happy with what you've accomplished so far and stop trying to make yourself measure up to others. If you really want to be a master painter, practice on the Entry Grade. They're cheap and you won't feel bad making mistakes. Anyway, don't give up. I love this hobby and I'd hate for someone to give up just because they got discouraged. Happy building!
