Just a quick Hello,
This is a RETYPE as IE LOGGED ME OUT :sobbing:
I have been on many forums over the years, but this is the first modelling forum i have ever signed up to, as my longest standing hobby has always been something i've done on my own. LOL.
My main genres are as follows:
WWII & Cold War Aircraft in 1/72nd Scale
Most Cars in 1/24th Scale
WWII Armour in 1/35th Scale
I have been doing the planes since i was 11, the cars since i was 16, and the tanks since December. I like collecting and building in sets [Ferrari Collection, Cold War Russian Jets etc]
Never used airbrushes, vacform, or photoetch, i have used resin once for a Mig 3 i did a while back, but i ended up thinking it was more trouble than it was worth as the parts were impossible to cut out with scalpels and broke very easily when you didnt want them to. All the planes i have done have been brush painted. i have used rattle cans on a few, but mainly the rattle cans are used on the Cars as you i couldnt get convincing paintwork with a brush. i havent really done much weathering, and only consistenly used such methods on the tanks recently. i think the small scale of the planes makes it very difficult to do it convincingly with my tools and skills, so i have generally left most of them pristine. i have got some good results with the tanks though.
Here are some examples:
Revell KV-1, First Tank done in December:
Fujimi Alpina C1 2.3 Circa 2005 ish, In BMW Zinnobar Red
Airfix Republic P-47D Thunderbolt Circa 2004
I like collecting them rather than spending absolutely ages on all of them... however that doesnt mean i just rush everything all the time...
I think the next move for me may be Vac-form... there are a few planes i want in my collection that arent available off the shelf, but in the meantime i have a build pile of about 15 or 20 kits to do first! i also have two balsa wood planes too. LOL.
