I know we have the mods section on here, but since that is primarily a place to show off your mods, how about a tip and trick for modding section? One where we all share our airbrushing, marking, re-painting or even scratch building tricks. Such as how to build and add an MG for your 21stC Hetzer? That way all the techniques won't get lost in a post about a specific mod.
I know we could goto model building sites for all this info, but there are some specific things about building that really only pertain to die cast models, such the example I gave above, the hetzer did not ship with its mg shield and gun for the top of the tank, it has the hole for it but not the piece. So if I wanted to build one and give everyone the steps I used they could look it up and learn how to build it or be inspired on how to improve/fix other products they have bought.
Like
How to make a camo net for you tank
how to create sand bags
how to create barbed wire
how to make realistic bullet holes
how to modify an existing figure
how to create working hatches
how to weather an airplane
and so on
