Hi All,

First timer here! I used to build models as a kid and cant remember the last time I built one (+15 years ago). My experience then was with Humbrol Enamels, 1 paint brush and a bottle of turps :-) For the past 5 years I have been slowly buying models of interest with a view that one day I would like to get back into the hobby. Ive never used photo etch, resin, acrylics, an airbrush or model filler so hopefully that sets the scene of what you are dealing with here :-)

After happening upon this forum and this SIG build in particular I have decided now would be a great time to start. My entry may look relatively straight forward but it pretty much involves everything I have never done listed above so hopefully I can provide you with some laughs and cringe moments along the way :-)
And here it is...

Awesome! :welcome: aboard! When you're ready, go ahead and open a WIP thread in the "Builds" section of the sub-forum.

Here's how: viewtopic.php?p=280374#p280374

If you need help or have questions go ahead and ask them here and you'll get answers pretty quickly; or send me a PM (the little word bubble under my name on the right). Or PM anyone you might like more than me ;)

Thanks for the welcome. I am a massive 2001 fan too, even watched the sci-fi films that influenced Kubrick on 2001 such as Ikarie XB1. This is my first foray into making a sci-fi model despite collecting a few kits along the years. I recently pre-ordered the Moebius 3ft Discovery model due out at the end of the year and also hoping to include another 2001 based kit to the SIG comp if I have time.

Would love to squeeze in a late entry! Having a hard time with the pics though. I see a photobucket ad instead of pics. I signed up for a free membership, but it wants me to pay for 3rd party uploads?? What am I doing wrong?
