Back after some time

Posted by Taps88 on Wednesday, March 9, 2011 4:09 PM

Hello all,

I've been a WW2 modeler for a long time and have recently come back to the hobby. Getting all my gear in order and planning working on my "rebirth" kit.

I am a WW2 modeler, mostly German Armor but I also dabble in aircraft and such. ( My favs are the Tiger 1 and the Focke Wulf) I use only Acrylics and airbrush from a Badger 155 Anthem. Now,....onto planning my rebith build.

I'm torn between the Accurate Miniatures TBM-3D or the Dragon Sd.Kfz 181 V1 Proto Tiger ( 2 of the few kits I didn't get rid of) yes, shame on me. I still have some Tamiya, Dragon, Accurate and Hasagawa kits in reserve.

Any votes on which to begin with?

I forgot to mention, why I left the hobby, in the first place.......

I became a bolt counter!!

I would sit, with a model half built, going over if it looked "correct" or not. It became not so much enjoyment but frustration, for me. That was 5 years ago!

I think I realized that, I really enjoy the hobby and should not so much worry, about if it looked "correct" to others, just build what I like, for me.
