Hi!
My name is Simon and like others seem to, I stumbled across this amazing site while looking for information. I made plastic kits as a child and teenager and then stopped due to education, job marriage etc.
I've now decided to get back into modelling seriously. My main interest is modern armour in 1/35th scale.
Just poking around this site I've learned so much! I'm now going to rush out and buy Johnson's Kleer and textured spray paint.

Hi Simon,
Welcome to the Big A ! the world famous website for modelling!
You can share your modelling experience with everybody here, there is also many other precious articles: reviews, features, etc.
But as my experience, think of sharing your time: building your models and surfing on Armorama! It took me a week to build my kit before I get know this Big A but now it takes me over a month to finish my kit! :-)
