My name is Stan and I'm a plastiholic.
Most recent armor build. Still too clean, I KNOW... I did try to mud it up a bit using a couple of splatter techniques, but it still lacks the grunge. Ah, well, I think the camo job turned out OK. RB & Master Barrels, Hauler P-E, [...]
OK... my latest attempt at dirtying armor.
Used most of the Hauler P-E set... the jerry can straps were really "fun". Also used an RB turned aluminum barrel, Aber "feelers" (? dunno what they're called) and added [...]
Finished this (Whoops- forgot to do the exhaust stains! š ) just before the Emil, but missed taking pics. I really wondered about the "Taifun" logo being present on top of the camouflage, but found a photo (hopefully not [...]
... the venerable Tamiya E4/7 kit with crucial decals supplied by the most helpful and generous Mr. Randy Lutz. Other decals scrounged from various sources. Used an Eduard cockpit set and Quickboost gun barrels. Lazied out on brake lines [...]

I added a few things here & there- [...]
Tamiya 1/48 (there ist no other scale!) Tiger I initial production DAK. RB barrels, Fruil tracks, Eduard & Hauler P-E. Paint is my mix of MM paints, weathered with Windsor & Newton oil washes (mostly Ivory Black mixed with Raw [...]
Many moons ago I put away my paint & glue, trading 'em in for girls, weed and a Rickenbacker bass. Fast forward several decades- Traded the former in for a wife, single malt scotch and (plastic) š models. Been doing planes, an [...]
...I am dirt impaired... an aircraft modeler who dabbles in armor, and my weathering reflects that. So now i try to place an AFV in it's environment with limited success. All comments and criticism welcomed... eventually I may learn to [...]
