Painting Leopard 2 A6M Can

My brother in law bought a model kit 1:35 scale with all the modification to make it a Canadian Mod. The Canadians bought 100 Leopard 2 from Netherlands in 2007. I was actually Director Armour Vehicle Program Manager when they were bought. Eventually, the Canadians upgraded some tanks to the A6M  level with a bunch of Canadian Mods. The M is for Minefield protection. The details of the Canadian mods was very impressive. The mud flaps are rubber. The grenade launchers are all individual pieces. It took me about 100 hours to build.

Painting Dungeon and Dragons miniatures

2022 saw my early painting turn to some D&D. It has been some time since I have played D&D and my sons wanted to play in person games. I bought an adventure (Waterdeep Dragon Heist) from Meeplemart and decided to revamp some old models I had and paint some new ones.
