My armor collection

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).

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

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).

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.
