Howdy Mike,

I certainly understand the bewilderment at the many avenues that can be pursued. I find that by choosing a specific goal for a project, you can focus on that aspect.

Maybe for this build it is all about seams. The next is a new weathering technique like dot filtering or pastel powders. Another tries resin or PE.

Pretty soon you have mastered a bunch. And don't forget that you can always just build one 'Out Of the Box -OOB' now and again just to enjoy the process and not get bogged down.

Good Modeling,

Welcome Mike!  What you are experiencing is normal.  The majority of us got back into the hobby after a long hiatus.  Yeah, lots of changes, but the fun of the hobby and joy you get is still there.  So ask any questions you have.  Tons of folks here with a wealth of knowledge more than willing to pass on tips and tricks.  Only thing is to remember to post pics of your builds!  Welcome!

My name is Mike and I'm getting back into modeling after a 15+ year hiatus.

I'm in the process of rebuilding my paint collection, but I need help with all these new techniques of weathering, cast molding, filters,  etc, etc.......my head already hurts.

A lot has changed from when I last stopped building, so I hope I can learn some of these new ideas.

Thanks,

Mike
