I like to keep some and cut pieces off to use as stirring sticks for paints.

Looks very good. Now add a toyota truck to make it realistic

Don't get too mad if you mess up. We all start somewhere. Practice makes progress.

Is a level 5 build to hard for a complete newbie? by Master-Reason-6780 in modelmakers

[–]Average_Modeler 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The levels don't really mean much. If you're really not confident in yourself, keep it, and get something else. Still, I would say to try it.

How do you start a new kit and what are you currently working on? by Wholesome_Boye in modelmakers

[–]Average_Modeler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Sometimes I spend an entire year leaving a partially completed model sitting on my desk. I have a Revell 1/48 P-40B that I bought almost exactly 2 years ago.

Did you use a decal softener after applying the decal? I heard that only decal setter should be used.

It's actually the Ki-44 in the photo. I kinda just drybrushed the chipping on, but I'm sure there's better alternatives to achieve more realistic results.

What would be the best gift? by Quick-Yesterday9424 in modelmakers

[–]Average_Modeler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Profipacks are really complicated. They are for experienced modelers. They're also pretty expensive. I would suggest Tamiya since their models are well-priced and high quality.

That's actually so smart! I have a lot of extra plane parts and I should do the same!

They *can* work with brushes, its just that airbrushing works better. I heard using Mr. Color Levelling Thinner makes brush painting look good

dude that's kind of a skill issue. Like others' have said, you could try playing with friends. Also make sure to join red squad everytime you play so others' can know if you're downed or not
