As you all know, since the mid 2012 ( give or take a few months ), we have ushered in to a golden age of modelling. The golden age brings us an overwhelming amount of kits, paints, weathering products and educational books and DVDs.

I have another finished kit to share with you. and no, this is not the T-80 I have been building. Yes the T-80 is finished but I haven't got around to taking photo of it yet.
Anyway, this is a kit that I bought on impulse. I was at Hannants one day grabbing some paint and Tamiya cement and my eyes fell on this little IFV with a retail price of £25 so I bought Gary Wintinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04889255403866229452noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6589213779924633276.post-59420664626106017852014-11-09T18:13:00.000+00:002014-11-11T16:05:08.165+00:00''Its your model so your choice'' - is it getting overplayed?
So, as you all are aware, I am building my T-80 and after my latest update as I was stumped on how to weather it so I asked at the end of my update '' any idea how I should weather it guys? ''.
As or now, I have shared the T-80 WIP across 4 forums and surprisingly, there was only one suggestion/discussion/advice regarding my question.
