Serge not giving up modeling yet
Permalink   

I thought I gave up modelling when I was 12 years old, but now at 51, I'm at it again. A friend has convinced me to start again, so I did.
As a kid. I built mostly WWII aircraft, but now, I want to build Canadian military aircraft, trucks and ships from the 70's to present, and some of WWII RCAF. I'm a member of the Halifax Military Modellers Guild in Nova Scotia.

The photo is my first model since starting again, still being worked on, having difficulties with paints.  A Model CC-115 Buffalo 1/144.  I have started on two more that will be in different paint schemes, and when I find a fourth one, I will do that as well in another paint scheme.
Also started, Tracker, F-18, and P-51B 1/72.

Thanks TR.  From up close, it's not great at all, like I said, I'm having trouble with the paint, but now I've got some helping tips that I'm working with to fix it up. The only thing is that I'm loosing the fine details at such a small scale. My next ones will be gradually better as my other blunders are not as bad. It's a slow process where one learns from experience. It's been 36 years afterall and I never was an expert. I hope this forum will be a great source of experience sharing.

I suppose so. Looking at all the experts out there, All I can wish is to become as good. So, yes, I'm picky about my results. To become a pro modeler, it is not to accept mediocre work for your own. This cammed Buffalo being my 1st in years, and never having used an airbrush before, it is my test bed where I correct my mistakes before moving on to other models.  These are not cheap.

My Buffalos coming along.  While trying to use Micro Kristal Klear for the canopy windows, onw formed a bubble and when I took it out, the canopy broke in pieces, being very small. I had to reconstruct it.
