Does any know how to post pictures via iPad?
Actually, until you have ten posts, posting photos is difficult, but not impossible. Instead of using Quick Reply, use 'Reply' or 'Go Advanced'

Above that box, you should see a paperclip (Attachments).

Click on it and you should be able to upload photos

Welcome Matt, when you tell people that you make models they look at you like saying "you want to waste your time". When you show them a model they say "wow, it's really paper". You'll have a lot of fun here, look at tutorials I think there they tell you how to upload files, photos. I upload everything from my cell phone, it's easy. Most importantly, do not be influenced by the members of the 1/100 club (especially MichaelS and Rat, do not say anything) they will want to take you to dark side, with me they achieved it half, but they are persistent.It is a joke, they are good people and excellent modelistas.Divirtete here, you will have a great time and you will learn everything about this hobby.

Some good ideas ther for tools. After all buying tools is one of the most fun things you can do with yer clothes on!!

Oh yeah tools, started of with what I could scrounge around the house, even a old pair of my wife’s hair dressing scissors.
But I’ve probably upgraded every tool now and still have my eye on more
Collecting tools is the best thing.
Luckily I checked out what was recommended from this forum first

Matt,

Whatever you do get a set of these:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Set yerself down with some plain paper cut into shapes resembling what you see on some of the kits. Get a nice soft rubber pad like a mouse pad and go to work turning 2D paper into 3D shapes. Start big and work down. Vary the pressure. With some practice you can do some amazing things.

I'm sure others here will give you other excellent tips as well. If the poster's name is Rata just do the exact opposite of what he says.
