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

I've always been interested in having a go at photo-etch and would like to learn how to do it and where to get the parts in UK. I haven't come across anyone having successfully achieved this on an amateur basis, i.e. as a home modeller doing it for themselves and not business. Has anyone done this? If so, is it possible to provide some basic tips on what materials are required, where to get them in UK, how to make an etch? I'm not concerned about the drawing/illustration side of things, more about getting started in the physical process of making an etch from thin brass. Thanks in advance Mike
