Hullo!
I haven't been here since March I think... can't even remember my old callsign.
Uhm, I'm a newbie, totally, like I have very very limited diorama and modeling experience but I am very willing to learn! Especially about low cost scratchbuilding (not all of us can afford fancy big kits or high quality resin critters).
Anyhoo... *salutes*

Welcome. You will find the experience level here to be quite varied. I don't do dioramas at all. I tend to move a lot and just chuck completed models into a box never again to see the light of day.
Others here actually make resin diorama accessories as a business. I think you will enjoy the site, don't be afraid to pick the brains of the diorama experts.

Welcome back and welcome out of the foxhole

You've found the right place for dioramas - lots of people do scratching to save money.

Welcome, there is a joy in scrounging and scratching the high end kitters may have never known! It's all about enjoying the build. Having a great site like this is a bonus! Hope you jump right in.

Welcome back and feel "at ease" (or better yet "as you were"). This is a fantastic place to learn, share, and enjoy the hobby. Ask away and get as much as you need. Many of us are in similar situations, i.e. new and/or returning and want to get better. This be the place!

Gweebleboy..welcome to the Big A. You are now an official part of the family. As far as experience goes...i to have only been modeling for a very short time. I got involved with the hobby because of my boyfriend. Soon after i joined the site, and everyone here has helped me soooo much. Anything you want to know..there is someone here that can help. This is a great family. Thanks to the many great members and all their willingness to help "the little people"...i know have a few diffrent things going on, that are not coming out to bad.
