Hi there! My name's Edward, and I'm thirty. I live north of Chicago, and I've been building models for about three years, and I'm still not very good. I'm not letting that stop me, though, because my lack of quality enables me to build in quantity: I average about a model every three weeks. So there's that.
Anyway, I decided that messing up WWII and modern aircraft kits wasn't enough for me, and I'm going to build some WWI birds. I only work in 1/72, so this is really a march of folly. I haven't ever rigged before, either, and I'm filled with fear!
Anyway, since I mainly build RAF/RFC/Fleet Air Arm/RNAS aircraft or aircraft of their contemptible foes, the first four kits I've purchased are two Eduard DH2s (my favorite early-war plane for looks) and two Roden Wolseley Viper-engined S.E. 5as. I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm not even sure what acrylic paints to get, or the best way to paint these guys.
