Newbie from High Wycombe

Post by PeterW »

Howdy,

Just wanted to say hello. Just joined the 'retired' community and thought I'd have a crack at modelling. I have to say I was blown away by the amount of stuff on YouTube. Incredible. And so helpful and instructive as well. The quality of the builds is amazing and a bit daunting really.

I am currently building a spray booth, and should be good to go in a few weeks. Have taken delivery of the Tamiya Honda RA272 F1 car and am looking forward to getting started.

Any other people local to this area?

Cheers

Peter

Hi Peter and welcome to the forum. In case you didn't know there's a great Youtube channel: ISM Youtube, a great Facebook site: International Scale Modeller a live show on Friday nights with great laughs, tips and hints and even free prize draws: ISM Friday Night Live at the Bench and if you have a webcam there's off-air hangouts where you can join live which I thoroughly recommend for those long winter nights: Off Air Hangout Group

Welcome @PeterW, Tulsa, Oklahoma !!! :welcome:

That's a great kit to start on, I have it in the stash and it doesn't have too many parts, or has a crap ton of colors to paint. You can detail it as much or as little as you want and it will still look great!! Be sure and start a build thread in the Work In Progress section once you get going. Because racekar! :lol:

Also, if you're on Facebook - be sure and join ISM over on that as well... I love being able to see modelers progress on there too.
