Giampiero Piva Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Hello everyone, I am a 72 year old modeller and have built 1/72 Luftwaffe aircraft since I was 12. The characteristic of my production is that I have never owned an airbrush and therefore I only paint with brushes. I apologize for my bad English, a language I have never studied. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Gidday Giampiero, welcome aboard. There's nothing wrong with your English, in fact it's probably better than mine. I did study English at school, but only because I was told to. I hated the subject. 😫 I don't have an airbrush either, and only use brushes (otherwise known as 'hairy sticks'), although in my case the models are 1/600 scale ships. Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Hello Giampiero … from the city of Chicago USA, your English is good I understand what you're saying. Im an aircraft modeler focused from the 1930’s to modern types. Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Welcome aboard sir. Just remember the greatest ever works of art were completed by Italians with paint brushes so there’s absolutely no pressure!😜 Your English seems 100% to me so far and no-one really cares if it isn’t anyway. So just wade in and have fun! 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Welcome aboard! Your English is excellent and I'm looking forward to seeing your models! My brush painting is only sufficient for details, small details. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Tip Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 It's a very welcoming crew here, so have fun! (Mr. da Vinci had fun with planes and tanks and didn't need no airbrush for that ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgio N Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Welcome to the forum Giampiero ! As a fellow Italian modeller I'm glad to see you here, I've seen some of your models before and I've always been amazed by how good they are and by the result you achieved without an airbrush. Looking forward to see more of your models ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
