Hello from Lancashire

Post by MAZ62 »

Hi,
Returning to modelling after probably 42 ish years and boy have things changed. Am currently accumulating kit to enable me to begin my first project as soon as possible and am very nearly there. Currently reading and watching YouTube to pick up the basic techniques.

Working in the aerospace industry I'll probably concentrate initially on fast jets however I have already acquired a 1/350 scale King George V (which will remain in its box until I have some level of competence with paint and glue!), and also a Couple of military vehicle kits.

Can't wait to get stuck in.

As all my modelling will take place in the house my next purchase is going to be a extractor of some kind...

Hello and welcome Chris :)

Did you watch the introduction videos on ISM's You Tube channel? They are what I first watch when I got back into the hobby last year and found them very helpful - this link is to the first:

Thanks Sheppsea. Had watched the video but forgotten. Have now managed to pick up the kit and will make this my first while following along.
