New here and hoping to improve, learn and share experiences with model building
Posted by Atreidez on Friday, September 29, 2023 7:34 AM

I made a really nice introduction for myself a couple of days ago, but apparently it just disappeared Big Smile

Anyway, hello everyone, I'm Jaap from The Hague, NL. Love making building kits and picked up this hobby again in corona times. Enjoying it a lot, but feel I can improve as well and joining here to learn new experiences, see other peoples skillz and maybe eventually share own experiences to improve others. 

My interest is in space, ww2, some sci fi and F1, although I have learned that F1 is something harder to obtain nowadays in model building (rights?). I have also recently bought an airbrush, but havent used it yet because I'm a bit scared my lack of knowledge on the skill has to improve first so I dont mess things up or break the thing using it Zip it! I was making a model and needed to create a line in paint, and using tape and brush it still made this horrible look of leaking under the tape, so that was the moment I realized I needed to upgrade my gear and skills to make better looking models eventually.

Welkom! Lots of knowledgeable people here.

Airbrush isn't going to run itself, you know. What type is it. There's a forum for painting and airbrushing here, and a member named Don Wheeler who is a master of the technical side of A/B.

Welcome!  I've run a F1 group build for the past couple years.  Take a look and join in if you have a kit.

Thanks,

John

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

My favorite builds are WWI & WWII planes followed by sailing ships. 

Stay safe.
