Hello,
While I've done some builds in the past when I was younger, I've not done anything recently and am just trying to gather some information to help ease into the growing pains. I've had a lot of interest in the hobby for some time, but have been so busy wrapping up college and starting my career that I just never got around to it. Anyways, now is the time!
I'm just looking for some basic advice.
Reading some other threads, I see a lot of the same three brand names thrown around: Revell, AMT, and Tamiya. I'm just kind of curious if there are certain brands people try to stay away from or if everything is pretty much safe and it's just a matter of what's in production at the time?
One of my greater concerns is painting. Probably something I'll just need to research and read a lot on...along with practice. But there seems to a whole extra breed of lingo for all the paint topics.
For the most part, I'm just looking for some starter pointers; wasn't sure where to post it.
I'm curious what kind of tools you all suggest and if there is any must haves in that category, other than the very basic hobby stuff. I see some pretty fancy paint area setups in some of the pictures here, kind of wondering if most of you use spray or airbrushing?
I was also reading up on the skill level of the car kits and what they really meant.
Do most of you only build certain levels or just anything that intrigues you?
Appreciate any advice one can give.
Thanks,
-Brent
