New guy from Virginia
Posted by pinhead999 on Monday, June 18, 2007 10:24 AM

I'm getting back into model making after a 20 year absence.  I am looking into making a diorama with German and British armor set in Normandy.

What kind of supplies do I need?  There is so much out there it makes my head spin.

Any advice from the seasoned modelers would be great.

Thanks,

Andrew

Welcome, Andrew. I suppose what you'll need depends on what you might already have. There have been some really good articles in FSM lately on assembling a good collection of tools, I'd certainly check that out if I were you. As someone who took a similar hiatus from my favorite hobby, I can tell you a lot can change in 20 years! All for the better, in my opinion.

Andrew,

Welcome to the Forums and welcome back to the hobby!

As has been mentioned, there was a recent article about getting started (or restarted) in modeling. It's a good place to start. There are also a couple of PDFs on this site that might be helpful.
