Hello! I've dabbled in model building since I was a kid, so around 40 years on and off. But it's only been in the last few months that I've really tried using different techniques like dry brushing and washes to get a more realistic effect.
I'm currently working on:
1968 Camaro by AMT
Giant Mantis monster by AMT
The Vermithrax Dragon from Dragonslayer by Pegasus
Some vintage Robotech sets
A couple of other doodads, plus I just pulled the trigger on a small wooden ship starter set from Occre.
I have a lot of free time.
I'm at least a third generation modeller, I suppose. My grandfather used to paint duck decoys - some for actual use (geese, actually) but a bunch were purely for display purposes. My dad has been into model railroading since he was a kid. He's slowly been working on a layout in his basement but with some neurological issues as he's getting older it's harder for him to do it. He's been advising me on some of my techniques, like air brushing, which I've never done before.
I lean towards WWI aircraft, muscle cars, and some sci fi stuff, usually. I'll post some photos of various projects in the near future.
My usual hobbies - going to the movies and RPGs - have unfortunately been neutralized for time being due to the pandemic. I've been wasting a lot of time with video games but I'm trying to spend more time on my models so I have something to show for it.
I guess that's it... I'm looking forward to discussing different models and techniques here.
Thanks!
