I just noticed there is a newbie forum so I guess I should post here too.

After getting a lovely Revell 1:32 MiG 21 for xmas I remembered how much I like building models and so I decided to get back to the hobby.

Concise stats:
-24 years old
-part-time student / part-time programmer
-dwell around the south coast of Finland

Welcome to Armorama druid. Post some photos of that new Mig 21 when you finish it.

Thanks for the welcome mate. (:-)

I will take some pics if it ends up well. I'm (re-)learning all the modeling skills from scratch so I'm not expecting a masterpiece yet. I know I've done a few mistakes already but hopefully this project has some learning value. I started painting with brushes (and will probably finish too) but I'm going to try my luck at airbrushing too, at least for the primer. If I could only find the patience to let the paint dry properly and keep the cat away at the same time the end result would prolly look somewhat better.

Welcome druid!

Glad to have you along. This place has a lifetime of modeling info for all us peoples.

Welcome druid,
My cat loves to sleep in open model boxes,more than anywhere else.

Welcome, glad to have you with us. As far as your cat goes, there are some modelers who save cat whiskers and use them for antennas on there vehicles. I have never tried this myself as I am allergic to cats!! Hope you enjoy the site.

Welcome Druid !

Do any German AFV by any chance ??

H i there welcome aboard the best modelling family of the world

That's an idea worth trying. You might want to try it too, I doubt you are allergic to a single whisker (it's usually the microscopic dandruff of animals that triggers the allergy).

Not yet but I think I'll do some German tank next. Maybe a Wirbelwind. The Leopard A4 or A5 seems interesting as well.

Hi Druid,

Welcome to Armorama, my fellow newbie! Enjoy the build and hope to see your Mig 21 soon.

G Day Druid, catchy handle you have there. Welcome to Armorama, the very BEST modeling site on the web.

Druid, welcome to the site and back to modeling.

Welcome back to the hobby. I am a newbie who found my way back to building models after a long break also. There is a lot of great information that you can find on this site. I have been able to improve my skills greatly by reading all the advice and tips that Armorama has to offer.

Welcome to the fun!
