Robert,
Greeting from the middle of California from another long time builder. I starting building when plastic was still new and so was I. But alas, plastic has aged better than I have. Plastic doesn't wrinkle.
As stated in the comments, we would love to see some of your completed builds. We get shakey if we don't see new models on a fixed schedule. It's what keep us going.
You will find a lot of information here on WNW and other companies and 1/32nd is the scale of choice for many in our group. My knowledge of 1/32nd is limited but any questions you may have in 1/32nd will be swiftly and expertly answered.
Again, welcome to the group.
Dennis
