Hi, brand new modeller here.

[Guest]

Hi!

Nice to e-meet you! I’m Ian, and I’m brand new to modelling.

Was looking for a new hobby, and being a bit of an aviation nut, thought I’d give it a go. Of course, I immediately ran into some issues, and looking for tips led me here, to your fine front door.

Looking forward to a lot of mistakes, mess, and frustration, but (hopefully), improving - and eventually finishing some models of aircraft I love.

I can see there are heaps of great threads and advice here, so I can’t wait to get stuck in!

Cheers,

Ian

Thanks, Jim!

Definitely will be asking questions - I'm having a great time just learning the basics, despite making a mess!

Cheers.

Welcome Ian.
This is one friendly place to hang your coat up in.
Fire away with any questions, no matter how basic. We all asked them once upon a time.
....and now and then we still make a mess. Don't we boys and girls?

So join in and don't beat yourself up if things don't quite go to plan. They soon will.

Always keep in mind, this model making is fun and don't you forget it either. Got it?!

I'm into aviation in general; so it's planes across the board for me, from props to fast jets.

Military wise, which I imagine most of my models will be, I've always been a fan of unconventionally pretty birds; like the Panavia Tornado, or A-10 Thunderbolt II.

Nice to meet you!
