My first for 2021
Hi all,
Not totally finished yet, still need to add a matt varnish. Other than that, I'm calling my first model for 2021 done! A Hornet & Wolf British Desert Rat. This guy will most likely end up on a base with an M3 Grant.
Despite the more than occasional deviation, I mostly build armour, from WW2 to modern.
Airfix 1/72 A-4B Skyhawk, VA-15 Valions, USS Intrepid, Tonkin Gulf 1967
Hi all,
I posted pictures of this model before, but since I've added the display stand, so I figured that now it's really finished I'd post some pics of the final result. The Airfix kit was an easy build and a cheap one. I spent more on [...]
Tamiya M3 Stuart, North Africa
Hi all,
Here is my rendition of Tamiya's M3 Stuart (late). I built it out of the box, with the addition of some Value Gear stowage and used the kit markings for an American tank in North Africa. The real tank was knocked out in the first [...]
M46 Patton, Charlie Company, 1st Marine Tank Battalion, Korea, 1952.
Hi all,
Just a few bits to add, which will be done once I have a base for it to go on, but I'm calling this done. My second finished project for 2020. This is the Takom M46 Patton.
Airfix 1/72 A-4B Skyhawk, VA-15 Valions, USS Intrepid, Tonkin Gulf 1967
Hi all,
In order to keep the illusion going for the kids, I always purchase gifts for my wife and myself to put under the tree with their gifts around Christmas. For myself I usually just get something cheap and so this year I bought the [...]
Sergeant Oddball, 6th Armored Division, summer 1944, France.
I am not usually much into painting large figures, but when I ran into a bust of Kelly's Heroes' sergeant Oddball, I had to pick it up.
Kelly's Heroes is a movie that I watched at least once a week when I was a very young teenager and this [...]
Tamiya Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. E Tiger
Hi all,
This is Tamiya 90's offering of the early Tiger. It was a quick build that I wanted to try some new stuff on. This is my first very faded white wash, and I am happy with the results.
IJN battleship Fuso no.1 turret
Finally found the time to finish this one.
Making a base for the Tamiya M3 Stuart.
I decided to make a simple base for my M3 Stuart quick build. I didn't want just a wooden plinth for the tank to sit in, I wanted to add a bit of landscape too.
Since I'm building mine as an American tank in Tunisia, deciding on a piece of [...]
Tamiya Panzer III Ausf. N
Hi all,
A few snaps of a model I did some time ago, the Tamiya offering of the Panzer III Ausf. N.
