Don't sell yourself short, you've just started tryin'.  You'll get better and before long you'll be kit spotting.  Here in the realm of Sci-Fi, any and all information is of a hush-hush, super secret, F.Y.E.O., Keep this hidden type situation.  Especially studio scale.  Usually, you'll have to join yet another group within a group.

Build any other models and there are no armor, vehicle, ship, hell, even a tractor secrets.  Step over into sci-fi, the fun generally gets sucked right out of modeling and you'll start owing! Something.  To somebody.

No fear though!  Stick with me and I'll have you wearin' rocks the size of DIAMONDS!
