A Sub-Reddit all for Scale Modeling in the 72nd Scale!
Welcome to /r/72Scale. This Sub-Reddit is dedicated towards the hobby of scale models and dioramas in the 1/72 scale. Airfix, Tamiya, Revell, Dragon, Hornby, Italeri, ect ect ect, the list goes on. Post anything from planes, to ground vehicles, to trains, boats, space ships, figures, dioramas, anything.... as long as it is 1/72 (or 1/76).
Rules:
You must only post things in 1/72 (or 1/76). All other scales or content that does not relate to the 1/72 (or 1/76) scale will be deleted. If you have a scale that is not 1/72 and not 1/76, but close, those are fine. We tolerate scales such as 1/87 (HO gauge), 20mm, 1/75, and 1/70.
You may post pictures, videos, links to blogs/resources, ect. as long as it somehow relates to 1/72.

Political discussion is completely unwelcome and will be quickly removed. Let's keep in mind there are subs for political debate - this one is about modeling and we would like to avoid divisive issues that take away from it.

Painting cavalry
Heya, I haven’t painted anything before and I just bought my first models In 1/72 scale to play Memoir44 with my buddies. my dad has a set of paints and brushes but I don’t have any primer, any suggestions? Also should I remove the plastic nubs from the horses by bending them or should I clip them off with a tool? Any other tips would be great
