Hello from Los Angeles, CA,
Pretty new to modeling but with some experience in other crafty hobbies such as model rocketry and paitning miniatures for board games. So far i've built two model kits. First the Revell 1:144 VIIC/41 u-boat just to get a feel for things then i dove straight into the Revell 1:72 VIIC u-boat with a detail upgrade kit. I just finished the VIIC other than the attack periscope that I broke (waiting on a 3d printed replacement).
Now i'm looking into lining up my next few projects. Going to do the Eduard 1:48 Bell X-1, Revell Apollo 11 command module, and thinking about a sailing ship but can't decide on a good starting kit. Also considering the Revell 1:72 Flower class corvette as a companion to the VIIC.
Right now I only have acrylic paints because that's what I had from miniature painting but looking to try out other mediums. Don't think i'll be able to get an air brush anytime soon due to space limitations in my apartment.
Looking forward to learning tips from the friendly experts on these forums.
