Hi
My name is Mike Grzybowski and I have been modelling for about 14 months now. I try to make my models look like the real thing, but I have a lot of learning to do. So here I am on the Forum
to take advantage of it so I can learn how to build these models right from the advice I get from everyone here, and maybe make some new Friends. I'm 43 year old disabled construction worker so I have plenty of time to work on the models now all I need is to learn how to build them correctly. You name it and I most likely have it for building, weathering, and painting, I just need to learn how to use and apply these things for a real looking job. So far my models have turned out pretty good but I really want to have them look like the ones in the magazine. Well I have to run and take my Great Pyrenees puppy to the Vet for his shots and a check-up so I have to sign off right now. Before I go though, my new project I am starting today is Trumpeters 1:25 American LaFrance Eagle Fire pumper. If I could get some tips on the proper way to start and build this cause all I now is my way how to build and I don't know if I'm doing things right or not. The Pros look so real and that is what I am striving for on this and from now on. Nice to meet eveyone and I look forward to your advice and tips on my road to being a Real Model Builder.
Thanks
