You know everyone in here is so nice thanks so much for you comments. I feel a kinship already and have only been here a few days. If there is anything I can help with please feel free to ask. Bruce

I sure hope I can make this baby look good. This will be my 2nd build since I was a kid. I will upload my first photos as soon I figure out how to get them from my phone to here. lol puter challenged. It is a Lindberg 1:24 scale level 3 model. Well any suggestions or ideas will be welcome, .Thanks for listening. Bruce

My name is Bruce from Citrus Heights CA I can already tell there are lots of nice people in here with the same interest in improving our skills at building stuff.

Sorry for crappy pics will try to post better ones. Cant take anymore pics because the models went with the sister inlaw and bro inlaws granddaughter.

I did 2 versions of these Mack fire trucks please give me any suggestions on how to improve for my next build . Bruce

Thanks everyone that replied so far. This could be a very be expensive hobby right? I do like a challenge though. How do we post pics of our models here would like some feedback so I won't make same mistakes again. Thanks Bruce

Just want to see what it might cost for the beginner to get started as far as tools and such . Is there a recommended list of tools you must have? Like I said I haven't built a model in 40 or more years till I built a fire engine for my bro I laws memorial and after going on this site I can see I am so far out of my league as far as what most of you do but I am a perfectionist and I can do some amazing stuff when I want to. Just trying to save time and frustration so any body want to take a newbie under their wing? I will post a pic of what I did please don't laugh.

Well I see I have a lot to learn. I was just going to ask what type if paint to use on a model car. I can see that people are very serious on detail here. I just built a model fire truck for my brother inlaw's memorial and had many problems trying to paint it. I used regular spray paint for the main parts but when I used the testors enamel paints I was unhappy with the results ie brush strokes and such. I guess my question is what will I need to use on my next project which I think will be 1956 Chevy Bel Air two tone model. Any advise will be much appreciated.
