Al, i like the buildings and the trees, i think that you are not without experience in diorama.,and this becomes handy in WWII dio 's.
About your hair : the older you get, there is still enough hair but now on places you dont like (nose , ears etc....) but okay you stil got it 😉 😉

Well, I am 54 and still have hair though the forhead is getting the 'V' look. In fact I have it long and goes half-way down my back 😉 Ahh, the '70's when model kits (and modeling) was/were cheap. Get 4 Airfix or Frog kits and still get change back from your 5 bucks. Sniff - excuse me, I am getting a little misty....

Are you only looking in 1:32 or even in the other scales?🙂

I here that...I just ordered some basic paint colors, glues and a few other basic supplies to get started. With shipping it cost me over $125. $125 for paint...it use to be .59 a bottle.

I plan on sticking with 1/35 scale for now. Seems to be the most common scale for armor. And large enough to detail with ease.

Actually I am all over on scale. I very rarely venture into WWI era kit subjects. If I want to experience rigging, I will go back to building them old Revell sailing ships. I think I still have some pirate ship in my 'work in progress'. I think I posted the pics.

Here are some photos of some of the modeling I've done over the years. Scratch built HO scale model railroad items, 20 mm American Civil War figures and a picture of me building a model airplane while in college in 1979. I wish I had that much hair now!!!
