10 Things I WISH I Knew When I Started Scale Modeling

One year of scale modeling, hundreds of mistakes, and 10 lessons I wish I knew when I started! From airbrushing and painting techniques to weathering, model construction, diorama building, and developing a better workflow, I'm sharing some of the biggest things I've learned during my first year back in the hobby. ✅Patreon Exclusive Series: Behind The Build -Get the first episode for free here, or watch all of them w/ a 7 day free trial👇   / scalestories   🏪ScaleStories Amazon Storefront: https://a.co/d/0eIq8gWM As an amazon associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

But it's not all about technique. I'll also share some observations about the scale modeling community, why I don't believe the hobby is dying, and why building plastic models has become such a rewarding creative outlet. Whether you're a beginner building your first plastic model kit or an experienced modeler with decades at the workbench, I hope there's something here you can relate to or take away for your next project. #ScaleModeling #PlasticModels #ScaleStoriesscale modeling, scale modelling, scale modeling tips, scale modeling for beginners, plastic model kits, plastic model building, model building tips, beginner modeler, scale model techniques, model painting, airbrushing models, airbrush tips, model weathering, diorama building, model kit mistakes, hobby tips, model making, plastic model hobby, scale modeling lessons, model building advice, ScaleStories, ScaleStories Bench Talk, hobby community, miniature painting
