New to the Forum

Posted by Moff on Tuesday, March 3, 2015 4:12 PM

Hello fellow modelers, I'm new to the forum and also (relatively, at least) new to scale modeling. I started modeling about a year and a half ago with aircraft (mainly 1/48) but I transitioned pretty quickly to 1/35 armor. I've built six kits so far, 4 aircraft and 2 armor. I have an airbrush, and I use Vallejo products primarily. If I may, I'll jump right in with a question: I want to start a post/thread about pigments. What category should I put it in? Thanks, and happy modeling!

welcome Moff Welcome Sign

You can post that pigment subject in the painting and airbrushing forum.

Be sure to post your builds, and welcome to the hobby. Watch out though, it's very addictive.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Welcome aboard. Hope to see some pics of those builds. We could do with some more support for the dark Side.

And ye, the painting and airbrushing section would be your best bet.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Welcome to the forums Moff! Be sure to post some pics of your builds. I too have just started doing armor, so those will be cool to see.

@Bish Thanks! As I'm sure you've noticed, I'm the Imperial governor for the Mordor sector of the galaxy. I also have friends in the Romulan Empire. I suppose you could call me a geek.

However, your implication that the glorious Galactic Empire needs more support is rather traitorous...I should report you :)

@Eagle90 I will, but I'll often stall for a few weeks mid-build. Just a flaw, but I can't really help it. After I get back on course I work like mad though. For example, I just spent 6-7 months working on a reasonably simple DML T-3485, and probably half of that was me stalling/trying to decide what kind of aftermarket parts to buy...
