Trumpeter 1/16 T 34/76 Model 1942: The relationship between scale and weathering

At some point I got curious about how it is like to build one of the 1/16th scale AFV monsters. Trumpeter's T-34 that comes with interior detailing satisfied my curiosity. It is a solid and easy AFB build thanks to the large size of parts. [...]

T-54B, Polish Service (1/72)

T-54B In Polish service, circa 1960. I admit that this decal variant actually belongs on a T-55. But this T-54 is one of my earlier works when I came back to the hobby and didn't take this fact so seriously at the time. !Please forgive me [...]

1/35 Border Models Leopard 2a6, "somewhere" in Eastern Europe

I will eschew my usual word salad at this point and refer you to the leopardclub.ca examinations of this kit and the history of the real thing. It's commonly accepted that 2a6s are in Ukraine now, though I haven't seen any photographic [...]

Latest progress on the A34 Comet

Dragon 1/35 Pz.Kpfw VI Ausf. E Tiger I Initial Production

Three variations to a theme of Dragon's Initial Production Tiger. Dragon issued the DS tracks for this Tiger boxing. The building process was obviously, much simpler than the single link tracks. However, the tracks keep oozing oils years [...]

A34 Comet

I recently had to put all my other projects on hold. An old army friend of mine asked me if I could make an A34 Comet tank for him. As it has a time limit it's been pretty full on getting it ready for the presentation it's wanted [...]

Winter Panthers!

The highly detailed Dragon's 1/35 German panzers combined with the endless variations of camouflage schemes is a modelers heaven. Here I present 3 Panthers variants A and G in winter camouflage. Zimmerit was applied free hand.

A Blast from the Past, M-109 1/48 Atlantis

In my youthful early modeling days I think I built the entire Aurora 1/48 armored vehicle series. I remember them being pretty decent (for the time) easy-to-assemble kits. They were pretty enjoyable projects. I remember the M109 kit, [...]

Achilles

Exactly a month after starting this 'side build', it's done. I think it says a LOT about the state of engineering in contemporary kits, ease and quality of construction which is IMHO incredible. So this drops together like so many Tamiya [...]
