I'm sure you've been asked this a million times, but who is your supplier for kits and paint?

---

Most of my kits come from a hobby shop in Hoover, AL called The Model Box. I also order some off Amazon and EBay. Once a year we take a Saturday and drive up to Memphis to go to a place called Midsouth Hobby. Also, whenever I travel I check to see if they have a hobby shop.

As for supplies, most come from either the Model Box or Amazon.

What steps do you use to assemble and paint?

Fpr example...paint all parts first, assemble, touch-up, then weather?

---

I usually assemble and paint as I go. For example I’ll build the entire hull then paint and weather it. Then I’ll do the same for the turret. On some of the tiny pieces, I’ll paint before assembly.

I’ve considered getting into diorama building. But they take up too much room.

---

Some of those builders can pack a whole bunch of detail into a small footprint. War dioramas are always my favorite to look at at shows.

I may eventually do one. If I do it will most likely be 1/72 scale to not take up a lot of room.

Amazing detail

I'd imagine this is your escape as mine is shooting and hunting

Indeed it is. I still like shooting and hunting though. But this is my main hobby.

These threads are my guilty pleasure. Your weathering skill takes the model to another level. Well done, sir.
