ZonaModelista Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Hi, I've been on and off from scale modeling. At first I started modelling cars, later tanks, then ships and now planes. I actually want to become an allround modeller. I believe by modelling all sorts of subjects one can learn a lot of techniques and have lots of fun. I'm no expert but I usually like classic or iconic vehicles with history behind and I also like to do dioramas. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bootneck Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 hello Zona, a very warm welcome to the forum. A cross selection of subject modelling would be very welcome and I hope you post some of your builds and progress on here; don't just save them for FB etc., as some of us don't us those services. cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Hi and welcome. Looking forward to seeing some of your work. Coincidentally, I am heading for your part of the world next week for a bit of sun. Are there any model shops you know of. Particularly Lanzarote.?

Wish I could help more but I've only been once in Lanzarote and it wasn't for shopping. I've made a quick search and the only shop I could find is inside a shopping centre called "El Mercadillo" in Arrecife, capital of the island. I'm not 100% sure this shop still exists so no guarantees. I guess most of the people on the islands buy online anyway. Good luck, have a nice time in Lanzarote.

I keep telling them that this is the best way. 😁 In each genre, you may progress a little slower; but it creates more variety, more challenges to win at, less risk of losing enthusiasm, more crossover ideas, and more open-mindedness. But, hey, you joined a month ago and you've only made a few posts so far, so get stuck in. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly enough, we have common friends and we didn't know about it. The world is sometimes small. 😂 On 12/11/2021 at 16:39, Ade H said: Good!

For this reason I don't get much kits done but anyway I just posted one of my finished projects here Will try to post at least one build of each genre in the following days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ade H Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Yes, I have been prone to that. The flipside of having more variety available is having more "squirrels" to distract from completion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah! that ensures you qualify to be a fully fledged member of Britmodeller! Other forums want to know how many kits are in your stash; here, we want to know how many started builds on your bench/shelf! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably have more posts than anyone else. jk, maybe about 10 unfinished projects, some almost finished, some halfway done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
