Starting Over!

Posted by Enigma1 on Saturday, September 11, 2004 11:43 AM

I am returning to the modeling hobby. Purchased a Tamiya 1/350 scale Bismarck off of online auction, pretty amitious huh?!?[:0] The previous owner had started by painting the hull a wonderful gloss red and I think he had consumed many an adult beverage when he masked the thing off Sad [:(]

I have soaked the hull in DOT3 brake fluid on one of my wifes cookie sheets and after scrubbing it with a tooth brush (also my wife's Black Eye [B)]

) I'm not seeing red anymore! I haven't built a model ship in over thirty years and was wondering if anybody has some tips for me Question [?]

Airbrushing?Canned colors?Details?Photoetch?I have just joined this forum after reading through some of the subjects the members seem to be very helpful Smile [:)]

I hope I haven't bitten of more than I can chew!

Greetings!
Welcome! Keep us posted on your progress. I've been thinking about attempting that kit myself. The afore mentioned PE set will really set it off.

Welcome to the asylum. While ambious for a return, it's a good build. Just take your time. I think if you go to the ship topic area you'll find the answer to most (if not all) of your questions on that model. There have been a lot of them in the past year or so.

There's nothing like just diving into the deep end as soon as you can! Welcome aboard. I'm sure you'll get all the help you need and more than you ever thought possible from this forum. So ask away and have fun!

Glad to have you on board! You will find lots of help with your ship by posting your questions in the ships section as was mentioned above, tons of eager guys and girls willing to help in a pinch! Just remember that as you learn you need to pass that on to others!
