Back To Modeling

Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, November 14, 2004 2:51 PM

Hello All, thought I would post a message in here. My name is Josh, and have been modeling on and off for most of my 30 years of life. I am interested in all types of Aircraft, and Helicopters.
I am in the US Army, and right now I am stationed in Iraq, looking forward to going home in about 2 months...it has been a long year.

My main problems with modeling, I cant seem to quite make it look like the ones on the cover of FSM. That baffles me, the true craftsmanship, it is a gift I think. Maybe I should stick to snap together?? LOL

Anyway, looking forward to talking with many of you, and picking your brains, to better my skills as a modeler.
thanks
Josh

See you home soon!

Hi Josh

to the FSM forum.

Not that I'm anything flash when it comes to modeling, but I've learned a heap from some very talented people around here.

You guys (and gals) are doing a fantastic job over there, so keep yourself safe and get home soon.

Cheers
Darren

I think that Finescale uses trick photography on some of there cover photos. I'm sure you build just fine.

Hi josh, welcome to the asylum.

Don't worry about your model's looking like the mag's. Those modeler's have done more than you could shake a stick at. Becides the old axiom "Practice makes perfect" is very true here.
