So, I want to get into model building. I'm interested in putting together those 1/24 scale model (Sports cars) by Tamiya.

Question: What model from that line of product should I start out with as a beginner? Just something simple to start out with. I'd prefer Japanese sports cars if possible, but any will do.

Another question: What else should I, a beginner, have before attempting to do model building? Aside from: Side cutters, A modelling knife, Tamiya cement, Spray paint, Tamiya brush paint, Tweezers, Gloves, and a gallon of patience?

Answer
Pick whatever strikes your fancy:

I think you've got your supply list pretty well figured out. Just make sure you've got a nicely lit and well ventilated area to work in.

Is it wrong to buy your daughter bigger breasts as a graduation gift?

MrJohnson

Upper-class parents in the Dallas-Ft.Worth customarily treat
daughters graduating high school to breast implants(unless
they are large, where reduction would come into play. The boys
get hot sports cars, and the girls get breasts. The parents presume that the girls, with the larger breasts, will be more popular
college prospects, get more dates, and feel better about themselves in general.
My question is, do you find this repulsive? Is this just on the same level as the obligatory graduation nose-job common years ago
on the east coast(reduction, of course), or is it on a different level
altogether? Are large breasts really going to improve things?
Or are you creating a situation where these young ladies will
become obsessive about their body image in later life, running
out to the botox center when the first little wrinkle around the eys shows up? Is there anything normal about altering a minors
appearance like this? Are we not obsessed with body image as it is?

Answer
I am a 24 year old female. If my parents offered me to get bigger breasts as a graduation present, I would be disgusted. Of course they are going to be more popular in college. They are more likely to lay down with a guy. That's why they are popular. They wont be known for being smart or athletic, they will be known for their breast size.

If the boys are getting sports cars....get the girl one of her choice! If you get your own daughter breast implants you might as well get her a van with no back seats. Just a mattress and a disco ball. More than likely she will end up there.

I don't know if you have looked at any of the studies done lately but it is not healthy for a young teenage girl to get implants. Nor is it healthy for anyone to get them. You wouldn't pay for your sons breast enhancement would you?? Then don't do it for your daughter. Save your daughter the embarrassment, and teach her self esteem instead.
