New sand-gropper around

Hi to all , I have been hanging around reading all the good idea’s that you all come up with , and the pictures that you post are [tup]excellent , I have been modeling for around a year now , so a bit of an amateur here…
I’ve built several 1/700 battleship and some WII aircraft and just about finished the Western Star Constullation…
I lived in the nth west for 17 years and then moved to Perth .
I building a couple of models in that time but they didn’t last long…
I don’t know what too concentrate on yet .I think I’ll try some armour next what do you guys suggest…

thanks mike

Hello Mike, Welcome to the forum.

Howdy, Mike! Welcome to FSM!
Armor, you say? Hmmm…how about a Tiger I or II? T-34? T-55? T-62? T-64? T-72? T-80? T-90? Sherman? Panzerkampfwagen I or II or III or IV? Panther? BMP-1 or 2 or 3? JS-1 or 2? M-41? M-46? M-47? M-48? M-60? Abrams? Matilda? Churchill? Cromwell? Centaur? Centurion? Chieftain? Challenger 1 or 2? M13-40? Chi-ha? Type 61, 74, or 90? Somua S-35? AMX-30? Le Clerc?
There’s plenty of 'em out there! [:D]

I’d recommend having a look around some armor reference sites and seeing what strikes your fancy. Then, you can get a ton of opinions concerning which is the best kit right here at good ol’ FSM.

See ya in the forums![:)]
