Planning to Help out

Like many, I built a lot of models as a kid. Mostly hot rods. And one helicopter that crashed into a patio wall after I sent it flying. Kids. Not a lot of patience.

Today, after 50 years of walking to and fro on this planet, I’m starting to build models again. Going to delve into planes. First up: Mustang P51D. Revel kit 5241. Scale is 1:48.

I’m creating a painting “booth” for airbrush and spraying. It’s made of cardboard with a duct system and fan to draw vapors and whatnot away from the room I work in. I put up a YouTube video with info on this in case anyone wants to make one. http://youtu.be/hzh0pWUzXeg

Anyway, I’ll do more videos and such and post when I can. Enjoying this site, became a subscriber to the magazine, and looking forward to my first issue plus the bonus mag I ordered. I’ve always enjoyed this kind of “work”. Very relaxing and lets me be creative.

Welcome aboard. Look forward to seeing some pics of your build.

Welcome to the forums!

I look forward to pics of your P-51, and I’m going to check out the video.

Welcome! I look forward to seeing some of your builds! And post pics of your booth too!

Welcome to the Forum, Tom. Lots of stuff goes on here in all genres!

Welcome to the gang!

Thanks to all for the welcomes. It’s going to take a few days to get ramped up. I need to study more magazine articles and whatnot. Getting the room ready as well, takes time. But everything is coming along nicely.

Welcome Tom,

Have any questions, just ask. There’s someone in here that knows the answer and I’m always willing to learn something new.

Welcome to the Forums Tom! Glad to have you aboard!
