Hi all
It's been about 12 years since
my last confession I last built a model kit, and even then, it was only a few kits after 10 years of inactivity. So it's been a long time since I've built model kits. I suspect my collection of Humbrol tins is not usable any more. Back then, I was a pure brush-painter, with a bent toward highly detailed aircraft interiors.
Anyway, times have changed, there are plenty of resources out there, and I'm looking for suggestions on what I need to get back up and running again, now that I have a new house and space to do things.
I have:
- A table in my garage workshop.
- Dozens of unbuilt model aircraft (a B-52, a B-58, a couple of Mig-27s, an F4U Corsair, a Blackhawk, and a bunch of other things).
- An Aztec double action airbrush
- A massive compressor & tank (used by my father-in-law for airtools)
- A small selection of brushes, spare parts, odd tools, pipe cleaners, eyedroppers, etc.
What do you think I'd need, tools-wise, to get going again. Obviously scalpels etc. Paint, I guess - acrylics? I imagine I could do with some sort of magnifying glass. I'd like to start airbrushing; it's something I always wanted to get into. I'm happy to build up what I need bit by bit, so I guess I need the "must haves" and I'll work up to the "nice to haves".
