Greetings!
Posted by Dragonschyld on Tuesday, March 18, 2014 1:52 PM
Hi there all Been modelling for about 2 years now(slowly), and finally decided to " come out the closet" as it were. Busy working on my 11th model currently, which is a 1/48th A-10 from Italeri. Don't really have a preference when it comes to modelling, it's really more what catches my eye and imagination. I've done some armour and aircraft, and even a Warhammer piece for a friend, which precipitated more work, because a mutual friend saw it completed and tossed another 2 figurines at me. Starting to get into weathering, but finding it a bit scary, as models here in South Africa aren't all that cheap, and I'm worried of stuffing them up. Will post some picks when I can. Until then...

Welcome to the Forum!  I know what you mean about weather.  It's intimidating so I don't do it much.  But there are those here on the Forum who are really accomplished.

Welcome aboard. Like many things, weathering is scary when you think about it but no where need as bad once you try it. I have found this out with rigging, scratchbuilding and weathering in the last few years.

Get a cheap kit and give it a go. And look forward to seeing those pics.

Hi Bish

Am I blind/stupid/summin else? How do I go about posting pics? To be honest, this is the first time on any kind of forum, and I'm a bit confused and lost I guess... Please send instructions :).

Thanks

Drew

Don't worry, that one of the most commonly asked questions here. You need a hosting site, such as photobucket. Load your pics there and then use the 'Use rich formatting' link next to the reply button. There you will find the link to insert image, as well as using smilies and quoting others.

That's the quick answer, for a more detailed one check this link.

The forum has had a re vamp since this was posted and the toolbar is slightly different. The button he highlights to post the pic is now for video's, the one you need is now to the right of that.

Hope that helps.
