M47, Portuguese army Cavalry school
This is the Takom M47, finished as a tank from the Escola Prática de Cavalaria, Exército Português, in Santarém, Portugal.
Despite the more than occasional deviation, I mostly build armour, from WW2 to modern.
Kampfpanzer Leopard 1A3
Hi all,
This is the Meng Models kit of the Leopard 1A3. For once I went for only light weathering.
Krauss-Maffei Wegmann Kampfpanzer Leopard 1A5
Hi all,
This is the Takom kit of the Leopard 1A5 in Bundeswehr service. The kit was an easy build, though it was a strange choice to not include any placement nubs, dimples or markings for the mounting bosses for the skirt armor around the [...]
Machinengewehrschütze, Hürtgenwald, November 1944
I posted some in progress shots of this model recently, and I am now at the point where I am happy to add it to the cabinet. Thanks for looking!
Wehrmacht MG42 gunner, Hürtgenwald, November 1944
I thought I'd get out of my comfort zone and try my hand at two things that I don't often do: Groundwork with a lot of foliage and larger scale figures.

Mk.18 Mod 0 CQBR

Quick and fun build, fun [...]
"Cactus Cat": Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat. Tamiya 1/48 scale
After reading another book on the Guadalcanal campaign, I finally decided to finish this model I had sitting on the shelf about 70% complete. It's a Wildcat from VMF-223 in 1942, flying from Henderson Field, Guadalcanal, the famous Cactus [...]
StuG III Ausf. G, Grossdeutschland Division, Kursk 1943
This is the Takom kit of the early StuG G. Added some Tamiya figures and some stowage to liven the thing up. Fun and easy build.
TIE Advanced X1 (Darth Vader's TIE Fighter)
Picked this little Revell kit up for a small price. It was a fun little project and gave me the opportunity to test out some groundwork without running the risk of ruining an expensive kit.
Not visible in the pics, but it has a detailed [...]
Sturmtiger
This is the venerable Tamiya Sturmtiger. I'm currently working through my pile of shelf queens and this one had been sitting in the pile of shame for a number of years now. I picked it up as a bargain, including the metal ammunition that [...]
