New to this site. Live in Indiana (USA). Been building models for eons, but just recently tried Tall Ship models. Just finished a 1/96 Cutty Sark and it was a challenge. Normally I build planes, cars, and 0ne (1)Tank. Do about 2 models a year and each one learn something new it seems. Project now is the Zvezda 1/72 Black Swan, loved the movies. Purchased it out of Japan for an unbelievable price, under 100 smackers! Since this is my 2nd Sailing Ship, it will be another challenge. I've never attempted washes, etc. and want to do this somewhat right. So, I'll just be watching forums on that model and getting tips, etc. Other than that, happy to part of the forums.
