new to scale modelling

[Ben wallis]

Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to scale modelling (I did it a few years back but only for a few months) now I have some more spare time on my hands, I've got some kits, paints, tools, airbrush & compressor etc but what I am lacking is some advice & tips :dontknow: Anything you can pass on to me & share would be very appreciated. If it's any help I'm looking to do Military scale models, I'm currently doing a Trumpeter M1127 stryker.

Thank you in advance

Ben Wallis

Hi Ben,

Welcome to the forum mate.

A hive of friendly advice and top tips. I've only been back into scale models for about 18 months now but the help of the guys on here has been so useful.

Look forward to seeing your builds.

Atb, Colin.

Hey Ben,

Welcome back to the hobby! What exactly is it you'd like to know? I'm sure you'll find that everyone here is very helpful and willing to share any knowledge they might have.

Share whatever is on your mind - we'll help where we can!

Welcome Ben to the forum. It may be best if you go and have a look in the military sections and browse the models and build logs, then you can have a go and post up your builds and ask for more detailed info as you go.

Hi Ben & welcome aboard! This is easily the most friendly & laid-back forum there is!

As the guys have said, any specific questions you have will be answered here - I've not built the Stryker myself so my only input atm is ...patience! My personal Achilles heel!

Cheers

Patrick
