Scale model builder for the past 40 years, albeit on and off until the past decade or so. I primarily focus on armor, although I have recently moved over some time into aircraft. I'm more focused on painting than building. However, I am working on my scratch skills and hope to learn a lot here.

My primary focus is on subjects of WW2 armor of the German Army. I have done the occasional Allied subjects, but I get bored of painting green.

Why My Wife Missed Me in 2024...

Happy Holidays everyone! I thought I'd share my finished works of 2024. Keep in mind not all of them were fully assembled in 2024, but they were all finished in 2024. And it seems there were alot. Not sure how, but I digress. Hope you [...]

"Little Red Demon" -- Panzer III L Tamiya -- Winterketten

Hey Everyone, It's been awhile since I posted anything new. I tend to slow down in summer and reboot, however I did a repaint on Tamiya's classic Panzer III L in 1.35 scale in an albeit custom paint and decal display. I really just [...]

"Britain's Beast!" -- Tamiya Mk IV Male

Another fantastic kit from Tamiya. A joy to build, especially the tracks. Totally OTB and nothing added except many, many (many) hours and sessions of weathering and layering. I threw lots and lots of stuff at this beast. Pigments, [...]

Kursk breakthrough Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.M Takom 1/35

Hey all. This is a great little kit from Takom. It's all done OTB and really doesn't require much upgrades. Relatively simple build for a Panzer III and lots of decal and paint options if you like a P3 with schertzen. I made a small [...]

"Soviet Beast"-- TRUMPETER JS-2

This is a great kit by Trumpeter and the only soviet armor I've ever done in my 40+ years of modeling. I actually finished it years ago, but it was just green, flat and boring. I came back this week and decided to add a light whitewash [...]

WIP: Tried the Mr Color Rapid Thinner. Me Like!

I used the Mr color Super silver and Stainless steel on my Mustang with the Mr color 400 thinner. In general I was happy with the results. Although I wanted a tighter silver and less "sparkles". (link) I had read somewhere [...]

You Had to Have the BIG Sherman! (1/16 M4A3E8 AHH)

Hey everyone. I've been working on this model here and there for over a year now. Most of you have probably guessed that I usually do German WW2 armor, so I decided to try something different and did the 1/16 Easy Eight from Andy's Hobby [...]

"Riding My First Mustang" (Mk IV, Eduard 1/48)

Hey Everyone. As you may recall, I have been trying to challenge myself more with attempting more plane models and getting myself out of my armored comfort zone. I started with the Wurger, then onto the Corsair and now I've tried riding [...]

Tiger, Destroyed!

Hey everyone. This is an oldie but goodie, the Tamiya Tiger 1 Mid Production. My first Tiger I ever did. I have repainted it probably 4-5 times as it became my paint mule and practice slab for many techniques over the years. This was my [...]
