Bill this is the biggest minefield your likely to walk in to I hope you like cans with worms in. I could reply to a few of the thoughts here but would be seen as argumentative. Some of the simplest advice I can give you is to search about see if there's a modeling club near you ,it opened up my world over night to be able to talk with people face to face all of them willing to share ,some of the lads at the club make a round trip of around a hundred miles once a month for a three and a half hour meeting.

Hi Dave,
Funny you should mention local clubs, I went to one last week and spent 3 hours being blanked. Felt about as popular as a pork pie in a synagogue. Whenever I have belonged to clubs in the past, for instance a wood carving club I belonged to, I went out of my way to introduce myself to new folk and tried to make them feel welcome. Never seen such a load of miserable self centred sods in a long time. Sorry bit of a rant off topic but nice to get it off my chest. Thanks for the air brushing tips, however, very useful.
Bill
