First off, I just want to say hello to everyone here since I am new to the forums.
I have not built any models for about 10+ years and I thought I had the habbit beaten!
However this Christmas season my Father In Law stumbled into a Hobby Shop (for whatever reason) and found himself hooked on models after he saw the USS Enterprise Carrier model kit and bought it for he and my Mother In Law to work on together during the cold Colorado winters.
He also decided to buy my wife and I a model kit of the USS Nimitz figuring we would both enjoy working on it together as well. Well, this opened the flood gates for the both of us as we found ourselves going into the hobby shop with him to help him get everything he needed to get started (she is a long time Model Holic, too!).
Needless to say we found ourselves picking up another kit that we thought would be really fun (the German S-100 Torpedo Boat by revell) and everything we needed to feed our habbit once more.
Anyway, the main point to this post is that I am trying paint this thing by hand and everything looks very streaky and you can see my brush strokes badly. Is there anything I can do to eliminate this?
I am defineately having a hard time painting. Eventually I want to get an airbrush, but for now I have to do without.
Thanks!
