Northpoint Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I think we can all learn from other modelling disciplines. Â When my son was a lot younger, he was into wargaming (Waterloo etc, not Gnomes and other creatures!) and he joined a club. I remember telling them about our (model railway) techniques for landscaping and they were very interested as they'd never seen them before. Â He also got into military models and I looked at military dioramas with him and some of that stuff was mind blowing in detail etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
