The other day it was raining and i was out of things to do so i went and picked up a 1/35th scale M41 tank model . I am 18 and had never done one before. Wow, so awesome. I can be at peace and be productive while constructing a model. I am hooked. Glad to be a part of this forum and i hope to learn alot.

Welcome aboard Chris! When you have questions just ask away. Or just read a bit through the site and that will do a good job getting you up-to-speed with some of the basics. A lot of good general modeling articles are located on ModelGeek for example where the more advanced stuff is on Armorama (for AFV/Armor models).
Cheers,
Jim

Welcome aboard,
The M41 was the first kit I built when I returned to the hobby three years ago.
