    Hi, I'm Mark from Attard, I've been trying to get into scale modeling for years but always stopped after few months, this time I'm trying again, but instead of aircrafts I was thinking about trying AFVs.

    About 16 years ago I tried building an 1:35 M60 patton with reactive armour, and was quite pleased with it, but it lacked of weathering and details. Recently I decided to into more weathering detail, that is why I started tryng again. A friend of mine also pointed me to this forum and I decided to join, maybe I can get some help on how I can improve my techniques, since all I know is from trial and error and gathering info from over the net.

    Anyway, thanks for accepting my registration and will post something on the appropiate section.

    Welcome onbaord and feel at home, I agree with Wayne, here is a great place to discuss but if you ant to go into weathering I recommend to come over and discuss with us during club meetings, weathering is great tool and nowadays there are many things to get realistic finishes!

    I know what you mean Max, I felt the same before I went to the club house myself.. and as Ray put so well I was soooo wrong. I'm sure you'll fit right in!

    Looking forward to meeting you in person.
