Newbie introduction

Post by Panzerwrecker »

Hi folks

Been lurking for a little while appreciating the work on here but not posted anything as yet.

I'm from the UK and after a 35-year break took up the hobby again back in 2010. I love building axis armour and soft skins and like to build and finish many of them destroyed or abandoned. I'm not totally averse to trying my hand at other things and over the last few years have concentrated on portraying vehicles from period images.

Sadly after 14 years of trials and tribulations in which I was progressing nicely I had to give up building at the beginning of this year due to a nasty nasal allergy caused by repetitive use of modelling adhesives, particularly with my go to Tamiya brands :cry: . I am really hoping it will be a temporary pause as I really do have so much already invested. Fortunately, I don’t suffer the same issues with either paint or weathering products and as I was pretty terrible at seeing many projects to the very end, I have numerous shelf queens that only require painting and weathering to be getting along with.

I will post up my current project ASAP

Hi Los,

welcome to the site! I'm glad you found your way to us! Things are a bit quiet at the moment but please don't let that stop you :D

I'm sorry to hear about your allergy...I hope you can find something that doesn't react as badly? If you haven't tried them yet, maybe bottles with a cannula won't release quite as many fumes?

I'm always happy to post new content to the main page, if you have anything you want published feel free to send a few photos to me at gross-philipp [at] web.de and I'll get them uploaded. :)

Cheers,
Philipp
