Hello all, got a subscription for XMas after having picked up an FSM at a local bookstore and leaving it laying around as a hint. While wating for the first issue to arrive I have just been browsing around the forums and picking up tips/ideas and finally made a profile. I am from Tulsa, OK and have been looking for a new hobby to get into and have always been interested in WWII history, so I decided modeling might help fit the bill. Havent modeled since I was a kid so starting out fresh.
Biggest interest has always been in armor and vehicles (1/35 mainly, tried 1/48th and seemed a little too small for me to start with), but also plan to dabble in aircraft (1/48 and 1/72).
Started with a Tamiya P51 1/72 as a starter build. Used it as a training aid on what I should be looking for in new tools/techniques to make the next model better.
A lot more to this then just slapping them together as a kid, but based on some of pictures people post, I can see the great builds people can do. Hopefully as I progress with the stash of models I have already acquired from the LHS and online, and the tips/tricks/pitfalls I can learn from everyone on here I can make a model worthy of posting for everyone to see.
Thanks to all that post on these forums it has been a great place for a new guy like me to come to peruse and learn.
