I've been watching some videos on youtube. Big fan of Andy at Andy's Hobby Headquarters. Watching his builds is therapeutic, lol. He also just started a Facebook group (the Mediocre Modelers Club ) a month or so ago, that has really taken off. Very international. As for types of models, I probably will concentrate on armor, but anything goes pretty much. Some links here.
