    Hi New Member

    Hi i am new around here and i thought i would introduce my self. My real name is matt. First time really building scale, i tried to get into GW fantasy and 40k 4 years ago, but my painting skills are terrible so gave that up, but just recently been looking back into modeling GW stuff and Scale model. I have myself a few Vallejo Paints ( much better than GW in my opinion) loads of tools, and more recently just got an Airbrush. I was doing some research about painting Mini's and a good tip at getting better with painting is to build and paint stuff you would not normally do. I got my self a Revell Westland Wessex HAS Mk3 1:48 and a Revell Tornado Tigermeet 1:72 kits. I am gonna try and post my progress but any help and advice along the way would be amazing.

    Thanks

    Matt

      GW is overpriced for everything, there is a slump at the moment of WH etc due to prices not just from GW but from private sales.

      Welcome Matt, nice place this and full of useful tips and some really helpful folk.

                            I used to play a lot of warhammer 40K in my teen years. Battletech as well.

                            It's where I learned some of my more advanced tricks of wearing and weathering, and the first time i had heard of the term "dry-brush".

                            This place also seems to collect guys named "Steve"...
