Plenty of models to choose from

Posted by hellwarrior on Sunday, March 29, 2015 8:36 PM

Hi! In the recent months, I have taken a break from scale modeling and I really miss that. I'm planning now to do a lot more and cut on my other hobbies a little bit. Last week, I went to a hobby shop and bought a few kits. I think I have plenty of work for the next two or three years ;)

In fact, I bought five models last week. The last five (space related) are old models I have for the last 20 years and never finished them. And I have done two that are built but left unpainted for now.

I dont know why but I am worried about painting. I am afraid of messing them but I know I have to practice sometimes.

Nice choices! Love that Hummel!

As far as painting. The easiest way I find to learn how a paint's properties is to start out with light coats. You can always easily add multiple coats but runs and too heavy coats make sanding and paint stripping a miserable experience. You'll get it in no time! :) There are still many types of paints I haven't played with and intend too but nervously avoid.
