Model Nerd
Sharing scale model reviews and builds, painting and weathering techniques, modelling tips, diorama building, and more. I like to build scale models on almost any topic, regardless of scale. Models I've covered include everything from 1/72 scale modern aircraft to a 1/32 Lancaster, WW2 armour, strange prototype Soviet tanks, Formula 1 cars, ships, and Star Wars models.
I'm always willing to learn new modelling techniques, try scratch building, and improve my skills - while remembering that scale modelling should be fun! Feel free to contact me - suggestions and subject ideas are always welcome.
Occasionally companies will contact me about producing reviews of products. My guidelines for such reviews can be read here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-RqjPC32DBWXf9pdJdDqkTkWUrJa7h3FHwhgqOdS3pc
