Hello, I'm Zack and I'm a sci-fi wargamer looking for something to test my model-making skills. Hence why I'm here- I got bored of the techniques used in my corner of model making and decided I could get better.

I intend to try just about everything, but I already have lots of experience in figure painting. I could get better there anyway.

If anyone has heard of Warhammer 40,000 then that's what I've been doing for the past 3 years. It involves building models such as tanks and infantry but also involves strategy gaming. Its extremely involving, something I'm sure anyone here can sympathize with.

I intend to work in all areas, naval/aircraft/armor etc. I have experience with tools and modifications (plentiflul in my hobby- although they are called conversions) and basic assembly, although I must confess I'm much better at painting than putting a tank together. Wouldn't hurt to start from the beginning.

Anyone have any good advice on where to start? Thanks Everyone!
-Zack

Hi Zack and welcome to Kitmaker, If you're into Warhammer conversions a lot of techniques and tools will be familiar to you already. Incidentally check out Modelgeek Scifi forum and HF for warhammer builds.

G'day Zack,

Welcome to Kitmaker

You'll find yourself in good company here, as although most of us are military modellers, I'm sure most of us have dabbled with WFB and W40K
