'Ello! Brand New!
Posted: Tue Jan 22, 2019 3:29 pm
Hello All,
Lurker for a while but thought i'd introduce myself!
I work in the game & film industry as a camera operator, so i'm constantly on the ole PC or away on set being creative for other projects... I needed something to get me working on my own project with my hands away from the PC! I have been watching/reading many sites on this fantastic art form for a while now, but finally took the plunge (into my wallet) and bought all the bells and whistles! Paints/Tools/Airbrush the lot. I'm a huge follower of WW1 and WW2, so modelling vehicles/personnel from that era is right up my strasse. But really up to trying anything, especially making a few dioramas so they can "come alive".
I've just finished my first model, a 1/35 scale WW2 British War Correspondent from Bronco. I actually did a build video of it but not sure where I can post that on the forums to get feedback on it. I loved every bit of it... par a few fatalities (seen in the video) But all a huge learning curve! the idea of it was to not only record my process, but mainly so I could look back and improve, others can comment with tips/tricks and maybe it will get the lone lurker who has yet to leap into the fun of scale modelling seeing it from a newbie pov! For now i'll post it here!
Hope that's ok!
I look forward to posting more and seeing everyones hard and creative work!
Robert.
