Hello from Finland
I thought I'd make an introduction. Wanted to have a few pictures of my current project to put here, but I'm way too lazy for photography.
So I'm from Finland, I've mostly been bothering TacticalJackalope and Hamilkar Barkas on youtube comments before this (Thanks for Hamilkar, his videos got me to buy my first kit!)
I've been building model kits for quite some time actually, I liked doing small 1/72th scale planes as a kid and did Warhammer and 40k for years.
I've managed to build about...16 kits in the six months I've been doing this actively. Unsurprisingly my favorite subjects are German planes and tanks, especially tanks.
Right now I'm working on my very first diorama featuring a Tamiya T-34 ChTZ and a Pak 40, a Walker Bulldog, an Autoblinda, FW-190, Bf 110 and a Panzer IV D with a Do 335, Hellcat GMC and a Möbelwagen on their way as I write this.
I still haven't finished a single Plane kit, actually. I find them a dozen times more difficult than tanks and it doesn't help I lost the canopy to the Fw 190.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to what I might find around here! Almost every youtuber I've seen seems to be representing ISM on their videos at some point.
PS. I only use brushes for painting since I find a compressor way too expensive to use and I have no space for one either.
