Welcome aboard.

I've been building for 53 years and still butcher kits. Nice thing about armor is you can mess stuff up and hide most of the mistakes with weathering. Not so much with aircraft and ships.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Thanks, to both you!

I'm still debating whether or not to share pictures of this StuG considering I ended up using it for experimentation and learning just how to do chipping, washing, etc. I'll probably end up doing it eventually lol

Welcome to the Forums Travis! Glad to have you aboard.

You have come to the right place. The members here are not only very knowledgeable but they are ready to help you with any question or problem that you might have. As you said, have a proper look around the sections of the Forums so you know the right place to post whatever type of question you have. That will make it a lot easier to get the right answers more quickly. 

I've built all types of models in the 71 years that I've been building. My favs are WWI & WWII planes followed by all types of sailing ships. If a model strikes my fancy, and my wallet says "OK", I'll build it. Love the hobby.

Sit back, relax and build away. Be sure to post pics of your builds so we can watch your progress and know the best way to help you.

I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.

Hello!

I figured it prudent to say hello to everyone since I've only just recently gotten into this hobby but am already in love with it. While looking around to see just how you build and paint a model in a "proper" way, what sorts of materials are needed and the like, this forum was a great help more than a few times with regards to clarifying things. 

Before the Tamiya StuG IV I'm currently butchering (used a much too dark shade of blue/grey but hoping to salvage something via weathering; live and learn) I'd only done some 40K figures as a kid. I've got an Sd.Kfz 251 halftrack on the way that I think will turn out much better. Needless to say, German armour is probably that which most interests me. 

Anyways, I look forward to having a proper look around this place!
