  1. Painting question.... The painting needs for ship models seems to be fairly straightforward. If that is correct, what is the best basic airbrush kit offered that best meets most of ship modeling needs? Would the small handheld airbrush/compressor be good for painting bulwarks, wales, spars, hulls and maybe applying matt varnish? Really would like to find an easy, all-around airbrush kit that provides better results than brushes. Any advice to this newbie is appreciated.
  2. Glen the ship looks great. You may be the reason I do me the Harpy next!
  3. I've been on the site now for about a month and Im really enjoying it. While I am a complete 'newbie' to this hobby I am quite excited about participation so far. I am a tech guy for my 'day job', along with being a rabid history buff. This year I began working on my MA and also was trying to help a local museum with a display. The museum had planned a display including a model of the Centurion and several others ships. Looking deeper into the models for the museum I became hooked. Not only on the history aspect but the level of craftsmanship and artistry shown through members of this group. Very impressive... All of the builds here are inspirational. Currently I am about 35% through my first kit, a Vanguard Sherbourne and that has been a super experience. Much more interesting & complex than the Gillow's airplanes from my childhood. Between this site and YouTube I feel like I'm advancing my skills at an acceptable pace. (Thanks!). Already considering the second project which could be another Sherbourne in a different style - or reaching out of my novice comfort zone to try the Harpy. My ultimate goal will be gain the skills to complete an advanced model of the Centurion... which is a long way off. Any recommendations or advice are always appreciated!
  4. This 'newbie' is curious if Surprise will have a Vanguard classification of Experienced 🤔 Advanced 🙄 or Master 😫.
