Hello to all.
Here at last found time for my presentation to the users of this forum.
I'm Marco from Milan Italy, I'm 48y.o. modeller since I was 8.
I do not have a unique modelig passion
I have several cycles I step through different from armor to figurines or aircraft to alternate periods, so I'mregistered in various forums dealing with different topics of this fascinating hobby.
The historical period that I prefer for aircraft is the ww2 but I think the WW1 and the first jet era that I think are the most colorful and interesting, giving us lots of ideas for the realization of exotic subjects.
For the figurines, I love the greek - Roman period and the Napoleonic.
Like almost all of my age I started with the legendary Airfix pochette (the cesna was my favorite), are then passed to more elaborate models and I think I did all models of the legendary Matchbox (1:72), are then finally I'm passed to 1:48 scale with the first Monogram and I did some model in 1:32 but far too big for my home.
In Military I work in classic 1:35 and 54mm for the figures.
I like the out of ordinary and most of colorful and exotic subject, the WW1 is a good example, you could do for the whole life Albatros and Fokker without being able to cover all the liveries used during the war.
I love super detailing my models with aftermarket and scatch, I dislike all stages from research from iconographic reserch to wathering.
Where there are no decals I do masks with my cutter.
I am a fanatic of the colors, I have the complete set of almost all brands on the market, even though I know it'll never use them all (I think I'm a little 'autistic on this).
I use many techniques and materials both during construction to coloring, I like to experiment and most of share my experience with the "friends" of the forum.
I spent a bit of time will read the articles from Des and wip from other users and I must say I have enriched a lot in these days, the level is very high and I like the relaxed atmosphere of the reply without being over the top or an air of superiority.
I hope I can enrich you as you have done with me.
Are a bit lazy in the activities of the forum so you will see the post rather long but with a few upgrades usually 4 or 5 unless I have to explain some of my techniques.
I hope to start posting something I meantime if you have the desire and time you can see my PORTFOLIO to this address
