                        Hi, I'm 34 and new to the hobby of model building. I have been looking on the internet and in magazines for a long time now and decided I would try my hand at doing the fantastic work you guys do. I have a lot of interest in armour ( I have always loved tanks ) and aircraft. My primary hobby of choice is Marklin HO scale model trains. I am hoping to build skills that I can transfer to that hobby for building structures and weathering equipment. I recently purchased a Badger 200-3 airbrush and a small compressor to try airbrushing. I am hoping to get feedback (good and bad) from you all to make sure I am on the right track.

                        Cheers...
                        Darren
