Hi Steve!

Welcome to Armorama. It's a great place to learn about modeling armor (as well as many other subjects) and communicate with some very helpful and friendly people.

Hope all goes well!

Hi Steve,

Welcome to the site and I hope you find it useful.

Your two kits might lead to a whole army!!! :-) :-) :-)

Best palce for advice is in the armour section, just click on Armorama and then forums and armour and post any questions you have there, under new topci.

Have fun amd welcome on board.

Cheers

Steve

Welcome aboard - as every one else has said - don't be afraid to ask, also with 40 years behind you don't feel scared of sharing your knowledge either.
