Scale Modelling - Anybody likes doing this?

[paingain]

So, last year I got into Scale Modelling Tamiya/Italeri Tanks. I’m a big military fan especially the Americans and Germans vehicles. What I did here was assembling the small and big sized parts together with adhesive, then spraying a prime coat, then airbrushed it into a nice camouflage / (or single colour paint job), and then only weathered the vehicles.

I made about RM3000 selling all this to one customer. That made me able to buy a nice Samsung Galaxy Tablet S7+, and Sony Playstation 5.

I’m thinking of getting back into this hobby, and honing my skills so I can make even greater art. (WELL, to me scale modelling is my kind of art )

Very cool. I am doing a game called bolt action as a hobby. It’s 1/56th scale and just started painting some infantry. I grew up with WW2 history so it’s not a bad way to spend some time. Love your work. Tamiya are really quality kits.

Have you ever heard of steve1989 he makes videos about army food rations

I used to love building models but had nowhere to put them.

I use to love doing that when I was younger, there was a hobby shop near my house that sold model kits that you assemble. I mostly did cars. I had one kit that I built, it was an engine that had moving parts. I still have it but it doesn’t work anymore.

Thanks everyone. Really appreciate the comments.

@POET Oh yeah! I’ve seen steve1989 videos before. I use to watch them with my sister, all those MREs from army all over the world.

It’s interesting to see how a 1944-1948 canned food from a ration pack, taste normal just as it is today.

I like whenever he finds a cigarette pack in one of those rations. I think it US army had Chesterfield back then.

And, when he lit it up … Looked so cool. Haha
