Another newbie here
Posted by psufan74 on Friday, February 6, 2009 1:35 PM

 

          I am new to this site but have been reading the magazine for years.  Back in August I attended the convention in Virginia Beach and was simply blown away at the talent displayed there.  Made me feel that I had along way to go as a model builder.  I have been building off and on since I was a kid, but now at 34 I am really getting into it and paying more attention to detail and things like that.  I build mostly aircraft and the occasionly piece of armor.

          The areas I struggle with the most are weathering to make them look more realistic and making those darn decals look painted on and not stick out like a sore thumb.

          I am really enjoying this site and look forward to conversing with you all in the future.

Sign - Welcome [#welcome] to the forums!  Glad to have you here. Thumbs Up [tup]

I agree, those shows can be quite humbling, lots of talent in one place.  Very similar situation here.

Welcome, fellow PSU fan -- assuming of course, that the PSU in your user ID is Penn State. If not, well, welcome anyway!

There's some amazingly talented people who post here. I've learned a lot since joining this site. I've been reading Fine Scale Modeler since '88, and this forum is a wonderful extension of the magazine.

Regards,
