  1. Okay, i've been on YouTube and seen the difference a spray gun makes and the perfectionist in me wants to get one already! I know my spraying wouldn't be up to the same standard but I really want one 🤪. I don't think it's something I will invest in just yet. Think I should get a few models under my belt first. I imagine you need more than just a spray gun though? Do you need a compressor, needle selection, cleaners etc?
  2. What is the difference between cement and glue? Or are they the same thing? I already have some Contacta Professional, would this be good enough for Airfix models? Also, what are fillers? Are they what they sound like... for filling gaps in models? I wasn't sure if this was just another term for a glue? Any recommendations?
  3. Well i've ordered my first two kits. https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B078Y7G6TN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And I suspect this one might be a little more advanced but i'll give it a go... https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00TQOKR0Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Going to do some homework on brushes and paint etc.
  4. Appreciating the advice guys
  5. Top man, thank you. I'm more than happy to spend a little on getting decent gear to start off with. I just meant I didn't want to go all out and buy everything to start with.
  6. Hi everyone. Thought i'd say hi and explain why i'm here. I work from home a lot (even before COVID) and I get to watch/listen to a lot of programs etc whilst working. Recently i'd been watching Adam Savage's Tested on YouTube and watched quite a few of his modelling videos which has given me the itch to try and get in to modelling. I don't know if i'm going to be any good or if i'll even stick with it but I really want to try it. Needless to say I have zero experience. I'm 47 now and I did make a couple of model kits when I was a child but that's about it. So if anyone can suggest some basic equipment like brushes, paints or whatever else, to get me started and maybe good place to get my first model from, it would be appreciated. I'm happy to spend a little money on gear to start with, but until I get the bug I don't want to go all out. In advance, i'd just like to say thank you and appreciate all your help and advice Thanks guys. Dave
