Hi Grinny,

I wrote you a welcome and some answers in your other post. The forums have separate areas in which most of your questions can be answered. Most of the members browse those forums and can answer you much better than here. You armor question and be asked in the Armor section for example, and the AB question in the Airbrush and painting section.

See you there.

Hi everyone. I'm kind of new to modeling. I helped my dad when I was a kid but that has been 20 years since I have worked on one. I have collected models for the last few years and just finished my first model on my own. I'm not good or even average but I'm hoping to learn. 

 

I have two questions that I'm not sure where to ask them. I put decals on my Sherman tank and the areas around the decals are "shiny" from the decal solvent (?) that I sprayed on. Is there away to keep this from happening? Should I spray the whole tank with something to flatten/dull the final product?

My second question is about an airbrush. I want to get one but I've never used one before. I'm kind of intimidated by them but I think it would help make my models look better. Any suggestions on which airbrushes are good for starters and any suggestions on a book or website with tips for starters?

Thanks for any help and I look forward to future chats.
