As a result of the Great Photobucket Massacre of 2017, the bulk of my links got cut, so I decided to move to imgur. Below is the link to that page, which I will update as I finish kits. I will also be adding a similar thread for my aircraft. I am 48 armor kits completed in about the past five years. Mixed in with the small handful of planes I've done so far I am cranking them out one a month on average, which I don't think is usual. But I am determined to outlive my stash as they only made so much stuff during WWII, so there is a goal post.
I already have five more in the works over the next couple of months, plus I finished the Ki61 Tony and am halfway through a Spitfire (Which means I have a 21C Spitfire S1 scheme available).

Re: My armor collection

Beautiful work, [CAT]CplSlade
I really like your camouflage work as well and would love to hear more about how you do it

I use bluetac from one dollar store for doing camo work on tank and plane. It's cheap and reusable

Re: My armor collection
Other than making sure the paint is nicely diluted and spraying at 10-15psi I don't really do anything special. They are all freehand except the Hetzer, which was masked with blue poster putty (like Silly Putty but not as soft).tmanthegreat wrote:Beautiful work, [CAT]CplSlade

Cat cmon. It's not that easy for the rest of us. I need you to do a step by step YouTube video with instruction.
