Hey all
Thought i would introduce myself
Im Andy from Chester UK, Civil Engineer just rediscovering this hobby.
So far im a noob... just learning the ropes so to say and onto my third model at the moment...
will post some pics when i can but have learned a lot since my first attempt with a Tamiya M1A2 Abrams, then an italeri M24 Chaffee and in the middle of the Tamiya Mk5 Chieftan.
My models are not painted as totally reilistic as i have hand painted 2 so far as i try and perfect my technique. Made a few mistakes on the way but that how you learn right!
not got the hang of weathering yet.
building up my equipment and got a dremmel for xmas that has also helped be damage the chieftan, and over sanded a small section, so wont be using it to sand with..... for a while.
and about to buy an air brush because im fed up of pulling hairs off the models when painting with brushes. and making the mistake of priming the model on the sprues before gluing it together... wont do that again either...
but looking forward to chatting and learning with others with a similar interest.
Thinking of a Tiger next or king tiger, M2 Bradley and T-90 ( possibly Meng)
so if you have any reccomendations for those kits i would love to hear your views.
Thanks for reading my post.
Reards
Andy
