I second what everyone says above. The biggest tip I can give you is don't get bummed if your first kit doesn't turn out like the ones on the internet. It will come with time.


As far as what you need to get started, One of my first videos was a beginners guide to, what I believe is the minimum you need to build a kit and enjoy it, and believe me, you don't need much. Check it out if you like.

I too am new/returning from childhood and went to the factory shop/poundshop and got lots of everyday basics, I am however investing in an airbrush.... Not gonna spend a fortune but enough to get something good and enough that I will remove the chance of me throwing the towel in before I get going.


Spray primers are my next purchase and looking at the posts I'm off to the pound shop again to get a couple of cans.

Excellent video, also should be pinned!

Wow, John, that is quite a compliment. Thanks.


In the very near future I am going to do a follow up explaining my views on a secondary set of tools/supplies for those beginning to get comfortable with model building. Kind of a "next step" thing.
