Trenne Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Hi, my name is Daniel. 36 years old from Sweden. I'm new to modeling except from a kit or two in my teens. Which mostly looked like a blob of glue in the end. About a year ago I started painting wargame minis again after a 10 year break. And that was a lot of fun. Then I bought a airbrush for priming and basecoats. That led to me buying a Bolt action starter set and two tanks for the game. They were a lot of fun to build and paint, so I thought to myself -why not try this at a larger scale? First I bought a Tamiya SDK 251/1 and some paints from ammo. Halfway through the build I was planning what other kits to get. I was hooked. Currently I'm working on 3 kits. -Tamiya Stug IV -Italeri m4a1 And a Rye field M1A2 Abrams sep Tusk II I've also managed to collect a small stash with kits from Dragon, Asuka, Takom and Fujimi. My cheap chineese airbrush was retired and a HS evolution cr+ took its place. I also have a pile of new paints and weathering products. Guess I went all in. But with two small kids and no dedicated working space it's hard to find hobby time. Time that is also shared with mountain biking and flying fpv quads. When I get some free time I'll try to get the dslr out and snap a few pics of what I'm working on. Time to finish this with a question. Is it just me that feels that keeping your stash slightly hidden from your girlfriend/wife is best for the relationship? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Ford Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Hi Daniel and welcome. I hope you enjoy this site as much as I am. Hope you somehow find a bit of time to indulge in your new hobby. Otherwise that stash will be too noticeable. All the best, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Welcome to BM Daniel. Have fun with that Italeri M4A1. It might be an old kit, but it's still quite an accurate one. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trenne Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 Thank you for the welcome. Found one pic of my first tank I completed. It's a Italeri 1/56 scale kit for boltaction. It was brush painted. Panther Ausf. A 1/56 by trennefelt, on Flickr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trenne Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Here are two of my current projects. There is a lot to learn, it's quite different from the miniature painting I usually do. _MG_4039 by trennefelt, on Flickr _MG_4036 by trennefelt, on Flickr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
