hey all....iv been reading quite a lot of this forum, so i decided that i might aswell register and add my own (sometimes flawed) oppinions to the forum.
my modeling experience consists of 2 tamiya 1:24 kits. One a simple battery powered countache...and the other a jaguar xj220. both were not very well detailed by me and i have no idea how to paint the cars (untill i started reading here) so they were left the crappy colour they were out of the box.
well hi anyway...and i hope i can contribute in some way to the forum, even if its just asking the ''idiot'' questions...
oh and pics of the xj220...ill get them up

haha, yeah. I haven't been doing them for a long time. I just went out and bought a bunch of kits, paints, and accessories because I'm bored in my new city. Since then I've found other stuff to do, and hardly model again!! I've got a few on the go, but nothing too serious. Finished one model in my new city (Calgary), before finding this board and realizing I was doing a bunch of stuff wrong!
