                        Getting back into it...
                        Posted by Megasaurus on Thursday, February 14, 2013 7:54 AM

                        Hi everyone. I started modeling about ten years ago in my early thirties. Started to get into it and then came kids. My daughter has shown an interest and she actually has an entry in a model show this weekend. I dusted off my old kits, bought an Iwata Neo, which I really like, and built a cheap spray booth. I have started working on Tamiya's Bismark. Didn't realize how much I missed it...

                        Welcome!  The Bismark eh? Clear off some shelf space!  Dont forget to start an argument here about the turrent top recognition colors. I'll start it for you. they should be grey?......  

                         Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"

                        Thank you all for the posts!  My daughter took third place!!  I was very proud.  I'll post a pic when i get on the computer that has the pics.  Tojo 72, I have been trying my hand at photo etch for the first time... yeah, thats harder then I thought.  What do you guys do.  build everything first and add the rails next and then paint?  Any photo etch tips would be appreciated!
