Hey Ho Ian:
Glad you became a member of Armorama, or as we
call it, the Big A. Lots of friendly women and men here
who are very talented and eager to be of help to
any modeler at any skill level. 
From reading your modeling interests/style of work,
we have a lot in common. I'm interested in the same
kind of thins you're doing; i.e. weathering and damage
which in my view at least, gets into the more creative
aspects of the hobby.  So hopefully, you'll
be  able to post images of your
work soon.  
Welcome aboard, mate,
