Hey all. I just decided to get into serious modeling. I've done aircraft and armor before, but I was a young teenager and didn't care much about details. I'm a senior in college now and looking to become a competent modeler.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to get the wheels turning, I'm all ears!

Hey, Aaron, welcome aboard. The easiest way is to jump in, buy lots of kits and spend lots of time on the forums. You might actually get around to building something. Ok, really, buy something you like, solicit information on build particulars, post photos of your work and use the search bar for specific topics like painting, weathering and the like. There are some very good build logs to follow as well. Have fun.

Hi Aaron
My advice esp if you are on a budget is to start slowly. When I started, I only bought what I needed for the kit I was working on. Seemed like every kit needed a color of paint I didn't have, sometimes it still seems like that.. LOL
and don't be afraid to show your work. everyone starts somewhere and remember, You will prob be your own worst critic.
