Newbie from the Philippines
Posted by odingski on Sunday, April 10, 2011 8:38 PM

I have gone through a lot of hobbies. From earthworm raising to Bettas, then to gardening. I was into RC when I was younger and made a comeback 10 years ago. I decided that scale model building is for me. Browsing through the web to get the best and latest info, stumbled to this great org. I have setup my hobby shop and will post some pics to share. 

I am already excited to start on a project I was thinking. The scene would be similar to Guadalcanal where it all started when the Allied started cleaning up the Japanese during the turn of the Second World War. The Area would be 4' X 8' so it can comfortable fit in my shop. I guess this is ambitious but then again, with the help of experts like you, I believe nothing is impossible.

Thank you Maj. Mike for the warm welcome. Thank you to everybody. I will be needing a lot of inputs from all of you out there. Especially from where I come from, we don't have much resources and I thank the internet, the world has become smaller.

Welcome to the forums, I love your Avatar.  What are you planning on building?  I know that the Philippines has a very good tradition of building some of the most amazing gunpla around.

Thank you smeaqol the vile, I have started on aircrafts and tanks. But really have not put my time into it. Still need a lot of experience. Been reading books and articles. I plan to build a Guadalcanal campaign scene. The first wave of invasion. I am still going through a lot of pictures and make a decision. But the one I like most is the Henderson air strip.

Ahhh well take it from me, dont get ahead of yourself.  If you plan an elaborate super dio before you have the skills to do it, it MAY end in disaster, work slowly, and dont be afraid to stop and start things over
