Model making just happens to be one of my most favourite hobbies. The idea of creating detailed real life
physical objects in a small scale intrigues me no-end. I prefer to build WW2 armour and figures in 1/72 or 1/76 scale but have also
built in 1/35 scale. At one time I was also obsessed with planes but now have gone back to armour as I can detail and weather the equipment much more easily on these than
on aircraft.
This page is about making models for those who are beginning in this hobby or who are just returning to it after an absence (I left it during my mid teens and returned to modelling again when I was 21 - I'm now 26 and here I am feeling like a veteran!)
I am not going to teach you here about the ultimate detailing of a kit because a cannon length isn't correct or whatever, as that is more for purists and those who have
been making kits for a while. These links are to tips that are created to help get you started with some techniques that you may not have heard about previously, so you can gain results that make your kits shine (or dulled!).
