Hi!
My name is Håkan, I am 37years and live in Sweden.
I am curious about modelling but have no idea where to start, so some googling led me to your site and hopefully you can get me on the right track for modelling tanks.
My previous experience is doing some model railraoads when i were younger and I also do some warhammer modeling, which use more and more techniques from you guys, the "real" modelers =)
I play world of tanks alot and I would love to do a diorama with maybe an SU-85 sneaking in some cover, ready to take a shot on a small german tank, like a Pz III/IV. With some rough terrain, mud, bushes etc.
So some questions: 1. Where do you get your models and peripherals like paint, barbed wire etc? (i live in a small town so internet will be the way forward)
2. Is any brand better then others, or something you should beware of? I've been looking some at eBay and you can get kits for like £7, but my guess is you get what you pay for.
3. Where can i get started for what i need to know about painting and wheatering, a guide of some sort would be lovely.
4. What about scales? I'm thinking like 1/35
