Global Scale Modeller

Hi everyone.

My name is Neil and I have decided to have a go at a 1/24 car kit. I have never done scale modelling before so it will be a steep learning curve for me but I am looking forward to having a go.

I have watched some of the You Tube videos particularly Paul's excellent tutorial of the Subaru.

I have ordered some tools, paint and the Subaru model in the videos so I can re watch the videos and build my car as I go.

Already spent too much money but it's all part of the fun. I haven't committed to purchasing an airbrush yet as I want to get the hang of the building first. This first kit will be spray canned and hopefully it'll turn out OK.

Hello and welcome
you are in the right place for tons of help and a continued depletion of your wallet and funds

Welcome and greetings from Bucks.

Welcome neil I see you've already had a look at Paul's videos which are a great resource for the modeller. Starting off can sometimes be frustrating so to help you along there's 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 and mike there's off-air hangouts where you can join live: Off Air Hangout Group. Three more locations where you can glean advice and remember, if you have a question just ask

Neil,

Glad you made it in! Just remember no one takes themselves too seriously in here. I'd say we are all just a bunch of 12-year-olds, but there may be actual 12-year-olds here that would take offense. A hobby is meant to be fun, so we have fun (usually at another member's expense).

Thanks for the welcome.

Put my first order in for tools, paints and 1 kit so far. Spent too much and still need/want more stuff.
