Hello everyone
Posted by Prostho on Thursday, August 9, 2018 7:42 AM

Hi people,

My name's Ahmet and Im joining from izmir/turkey

I have built some simple models when I was like 12 or so and used my mothers oils to paint (some crazy camos Smile) them. Thats when I got the bug. For many years after that I was cut off from modeling untill college years which was also cut early as I got married... well long story short I got back to it and its a great time to do so. With forums and videos its a great opportunity to begin modeling. I would like to thank you all now since there are loads of info that has been shared here already. I ll try to contribute like you do, as soon as I have something to share.

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

Welcome to the Forums Ahmet! Glad to have you with us.

A lot of members got here on the same road that you took. I took a little different path. I started building models at the age of 6 and have continued building for 71 more years. My favorites are WWI & WWII airplanes followed by sailing ships. I also build anything and everything that strikes my fancy at the time and my wallet says OKWink.

Looking forward to seeing your models and giving you a helping hand, if you need it.

Enjoy the hobby.

thank you all for warm wellcome, I'm amazed by amount and the depth of the information collected here. For a while I ll be using most to improve myself and I hope one day I ll be able to share my experience with others. 

I always fancied ww2 armor, and as I began the first one I became quite interested  with weathering. I ll try to share the first 2 ( panther and a t34) next week.
