I am a U.S. Army veteran, Cavalry Scout, Recon. I am now retired, and looking to get back into modelling, which I used to do a lot when I was younger, much much younger. I am looking to represent the branches of the US military, both in the sky, and on the ground.
I have been stocking up on kits, using Ebay, since I live in the Philippines. It is kind of expensive, and if you guys know a better way for me to save money, please let me know.
I have visions of my finished kits, and I hope that I can perform the way my imagination works, but I have my doubts. Anyone with tips and information to help me out, would be greatly appreciated. I hope that I don't get frustrated, and I am starting off light, making a pair of MH helicopters, all black, so hard to mess that up.
When I finish my air kits, I plan to start doing the ground vehicles as well. I especially have the goal of recreating the HMMWV that I drove/gunned when I was in the Army, right down to the markings. I have to do a lot of research on the way they are maked, because my memory is fading, but it should not be to hard. Just he division number (1ST ID) and then my unit number/truck number, if that is correct. I will look at other trucks and see how they marked them, just need to find generic decals or learn to paint REAL REAL SMALL.
Anyway, when I get to ground/armor (need to build a Cavalry Fighting Vehicle as well, that was also my ride).
Anyway, hope and plan to learn A LOT from being a member here. Please feel free to contact me if you have tips or questions regarding what we actually do as Cavalry Scouts.
