websites please...

Hi all, I'm new to this group & hope you could help me with some websites... I am laid off work with a back injury at the moment and to help pass the days without getting square eyes infront of t'interweb, I decided to try something different, having always had an interest in ww1 & ww2 I bought a Tamiya 1/35 BMW R75 Motorcycle with Sidecar from e-bay, nothing to big and fancy, just something to pass the hours...i've always admired the attention to detail and realism a good modeller can achieve...so I''m giving it a go : ) Can you reccomend any good sites on t'interweb that deal with building and painting techniques, I'm in no rush to get the model finished, and definately want to make a good job of it, I have oodles of patience (and time : ( ) so I'm willing to try intermediate skills as well. Any help will be appreciated...Cheers David

That little 1/35 BMW R75 Motorcycle an Sidecar is just one of the nicest little Kits out there. I have about 5 of them still left to build and about 6 of the Kits with the Two Motorcycles in them and i've still got 4 Kettenrads as well. That does not take into account all of the many German Armour Kits in Boxes that have to be Built but I digress. ......... The BMW R75 with that Sidecar builds really very easy. Just remember that it's ALL small parts which don't need much glue on them. I haven't any doubt you have very good skills with the tube of glue. I mentioned that about there being lots of little part for the ones who have never seen this Kit yet.

It's really a beautifully little compact Kit that has lots of detail and realism to it when finished and painted. I had put together a figure in the Sidecar with a Bazooka and one on the second seat holding two rockets , sitting just behind the drive. It looked really good too when done alas last year it was it got wrecked when it fell of my shelf and hit the floor.

I should build another one now while i'm thinking about it. I think that I will start a new one next week to do the very same thing over again and put it in a diorama.

Thanx for the encouragement and the heads up on the FAQ, looks like I will find most of what I need there or pointers to elsewhere... I bought this particular kit because it has so many different elements to it, the figures and the combi, I have a love of combi's too, the amount of engineering that has gone into making something so wrong, so right...It just seems like something that should never have been, but then Necessity is the Mother of Invention Cheers all, David

Wingnut offered me a plate of cheese and whispered:

And you can always ask specific questions here. I've always found the denizens of this group to be wonderfully helpful and generous.
