Thanks PharmPhony for the advice, and Grendels and hooterville75 for the welcome.

Hello all. I'm getting back into modeling. I'm going to have some beginner questions, and I don't want to be "that guy" that posts questions in the wrong area. Is there a beginner forum? If not, here a first question regarding painting plastic miniatures: My first project is 5 WW2 German...
