Hello Paul,
Please let me be the first one to welcome you to Zealot! You have come to the right place for all things model building as a whole, and to build and hone your skills. The members here are very helpful.
If I may ask, what genre are you interested in (i.e. SCI-FI, Militaria, architecture, civilian vehicles, aircrafts)?
What is the particular model that you are working on and what is the issue that you are having?
If you have any photos of your old models, by all means, please post photos of your work. You can post photos directly from your computer to the thread without the need of a photo hosting site.
When you start a new project, please post a build thread. Build threads are a great way of show off your work and skills. Not only that, but if you run into an issue with a model you can highlight the area that you are having problems with and we can offer you some suggestions on how to deal with them.
Once again, welcome aboard. I hope that you enjoy yourself here. I look forward to seeing your work.
