I agree with all who said we sometimes need a brake from tanks, along with everything else. But, I don't know the thread starter or what he has posted about in the past. What I do know is this forum would be a lot better if build threads got the attention this one is getting.
Tanque, I don't know if this helps, but there are some very informative blogs out there these days about painting and weathering any AFV. If you want any information let me know and I'll be happy to point you in the right direction. I myself just bought an amazing book by Adam Wilder about painting and weathering models. he covers every possible aspect in there and it is a great addition to my growing collection on the subject. Along with this, there are also DVD's available which are very helpful. I got into this hobby not even knowing how to use an airbrush, and everything I read led me to more questions. How do you properly thin paints? How do you use pigments? What the hell is a filter and a wash? That's NOT REAL MUD??? How the hell did he do that??? I know of the frustration, but I read and watched videos and watched the forum back when people actually posted builds here. I learned from all of these things and try to help pass on what I continue to learn about it. Ok...I'm done rambling now.
