Welcome to my Model Making Blog

This is my first post on my model-making blog. This will be a record of my journey of getting back into model making. 

When I was younger, I used to build quite a few model kits, aircraft, AFVs, and figures. Then life happened, and I stopped making model kits. Over the years I would look at models in shops and even got one or two. However, I never really made an effort to restart the hobby.

Well, last year I did start again, and boy have things changed! Thought my old “skill” would suffice, yeah….no! So it is basically re-learning new skills, which is a bit frustrating at times, but great fun.

As this is a Cold War-themed website, I will only chat about my Cold War builds; this may also include vehicles and figures, but the majority will be aircraft.

At the moment, I’m building 1/72 and 1/144 scale aircraft, but I’m considering trying some 1/48 scale kits, once funds allow.

Talking of funds, I’m a member of the Amazon Associates scheme, so I will be linking useful items to the Amazon site, if you buy after clicking on the link, I get a small commission from Amazon.

Oh, must also mention that not only am I trying to improve my building skills, I decided I’d also start using an airbrush!

Well, I hope you join me on this journey; I’m always happy to receive constructive criticism.
