New Here! But not new to modeling! Looking for some tips!
Posted by KriosDev on Saturday, April 23, 2022 12:09 PM

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening!

Hope you are all doing well. :D

Im new to this forum so any tips would be nice. But I have been modeling since I was 12 (18 Now). But never really started to put a lot of work into them to make them look nice. I was wondering what tips you all have. When it comes to painting. Such as airbrushing and thinner. I really dont know how that stuff works and how much to put in. So any advice would help! And any other helpful tools, kits, and anything else would be a joy. Maybe you can list all of your equipment so I can look and see what I need. It would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks Again

Have a good day :D

Hi KriosDev,

Hi Krios! Welcome to the Forums. Glad to have you aboard.

I've been building since I was 6 years old (1946). Had a lot of other hobbies along the way but I stuck with this one since the beginning. My favorites are WWI & WWII planes followed by sailing ships but I build anything that strikes my fancy and the wallet says OK. Wink

You've come to the right place. The members here are very knowledgeable and ready to help you with any question/problem. I ought to know, they have helped me with a lot of problems. Don't be afraid to ask a question. We've probably heard it and answered it before and it won't be the last time.

Relax and enjoy the hobby. That's what it's for.

Stay Safe.

I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.

KriosDev:

 Welcome to the forums. I am sure you can learn a lot here. Ask and Ye shall Know! Build models you will. I wander all over so don't be surprised if I pop up from time to time.
