New to modeling... Need some reference material.

I say your best reference for modeling is the Internet. There are many websites out there that can teach different technics on modeling. Just do google searches for things like modeling technics, oil washes, gap filling, or any other modeling technics you can think of. Model club websites are another good place to look. I have lots of photos on my local club website. kcscalemodelers.com

I hope this helps a little.

Done a quick look see for you and came up with this...

a very notorious ship, so I may just have to convert another battleship into the Barry.>>

Man, if he can convert a battleship into a destroyer, he's a better modeler than he gives himself credit for!

Just carve away anything that doesn't look like a destroyer.

Yeah.. I obviously made a mistake, but I don't proofread my posts so I did not pick up on it. Thanks for your sarcastic remarks though. I see this group is full of mature adults willing to help each other out.

Don't take things so seriously. It wasn't meant to be sarcastic, I was kidding. You did notice I said, " ....he's a better modeler than he gives himself credit for".

Most of us are "mature" in years (average age 39 IIRC), although attitude is sometimes questionable. And yes, we do help one another out whenever possible. Since you're new here you've missed a lot of the comments that fly back and forth. As you read and post more you'll get to be known, one way or another, and you'll get, and give, the same kinds of comments. For the most part, we are a friendly bunch, with a few dipsticks thrown in for laughs, and anything you want to know, feel free to ask. Like bungholes, everyone has an opinion, and you'll learn which ones to take as gospel. If you see any posts from AZHoser ignore them, he's an idiot who does nothing but breed hate and discontent. Sometimes there's a load of BS SPAM, but use your filters and you can ignore those too. There is a FAQ page you can get an incredible amount of information from, it's at

Ya s'pose I could do the same thing to convert my Escort into a Porsche? Got a feeling I'd end up with nothing but a gas cap! ; )~
