Takom 1/35 Chieftain Mk10 Track Bash

Well here's the latest instalment of the work on my Chieftain Mk10. I've put together and weathered the tracks before final fitting. I used the Vallejo Air acrylic wheel and track set. For the base colour I used Halfords red primer. I then [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Pz.Kpfw. V Panther

These Tamiya 1/48 armor kits are always a pleasure to build. Imagine... everything fits! Only additions are RB & Aber barrels, a few Hauler P-E bits and Fruilmodel tracks (which did add a few days of sore fingers).

Centurion 1973 Sho't Kal (Updated pics)

It has been too long since my previous post...I've been busy working on other aspects of life. And now here are the more pictures I took on the Sho't Kal build. While I'm taking shots of details, I found out that I didn't really do much on [...]

1/35 Tamiya Cromwell

The Cromwell came out of the requirement for a replacement for the Crusader which the British High Command knew wasn't going to be enough. Nuffield's A24 design was originally picked as the basis for the Cromwell, but it was powered by [...]

Here are thress 1/35 scale models that I have built. The Stryker ATGM and the LAV III were heavily modified and scratch built using the Trumper Styker kits as the basis. At the time I built them, there were no kit availble of these [...]

Why Paint That Bull’s Eye Right on Top of the Turret?

Maybe the French thought they would have air supremacy. Anyway, I finally finished up my 1/35 Somua S35 from Tamiya after having some bad luck with the camouflage on the turret. My original black outlines ran like mascara in the rain when [...]

Takom FV432 Converted To FV432/30

For those who don't know, the FV432/30 was an FV432 converted by adding the turret from the Fox. A lot of people think that it was a Scimitar turret, but that is in fact wrong. The base kit is the Takom FV432 Mk2/1, with the Accurate [...]
