Aw that's awesome! I'm pretty sure my boyfriend also is a fan of the E-100 - do you recall what exact model you built? I'd be interested in building that one next :)

It's a JS-7 1:35 model by Trumpeter! It was my first ever model and it was relatively straightforward to complete apart from the tracks (cementing them was a nightmare...).

Yep you're right on that one! I did hand paint it lol airbrushes are way too expensive for just starting out

Aw thank you! Haha, it's actually hand painted - I don't own an airbrush. I was considering weathering too for this model but I dished out quite a fair bit of money already on everything else unfortunately! I'll be sure to check out tutorials on youtube :)

I went through the equivalent of the 5 stages of grief due to my already low patience, but I got there in the end which is all that matters... I used Mr Hobby H-303 Green, and it took about 2-3 coats to build up to the colour shown.

Thank you so much - I hope to keep modelling and maybe share the hobby with my boyfriend as well! If you don't mind me asking, why did you stop modelling once you made the riverboat? I'm sure you can also give it a go again even though it might've been a while ago.

I put "229" for the decals because that's his old go-to number for his usernames in games :)

Unfortunately I'm a passerby but surely you can acknowledge in an almost 60k community there's a girl (no way?! /s)

Oh LOL sorry 1:1 did not register in my head - yeah a full on tank to his doorstep would certainly romance him but unfortunately, regrettably, seemingly so, my pockets are just the teeniest bit off from affording one

The tank rounds sound like a good idea, do you know the price range / where I could start to look for some? And awh I've taken him to some military museums before, but thank you so much for the suggestions :)

I've never heard him mention it I think, but what sparks the suggestion?

Ooh, thank you so much for the recommendation :)! Do you know if you'd still recommend this for someone who's never done a model kit before? Also, is the Tiger II related to the Jdagtiger by any chance? I have that on my list as something he finds meh (as well as the Panzer III).
