1/48 Hobby Boss T-34
This is the first Hobby Boss kit I've built, and I was not ready for all the internal detail, complete engine and crew compartment - what a fabulous kit! Unfortunately with what I had planned for it I never built the interior, except for [...]
Christmas in Europe
This is a story of hope, not just for modellers, but for their long struggling wives and partners who sometimes don’t quite ‘get us’.
Who has ever been asked “Why do you need a new kit? You have heaps in the shed you haven’t [...]
1/35 Tamiya M-48A-3 90MM from the 11th Cavalry in Vietnam

Tasca/Asuka/Eduard M4A1, Normandy
Some in progress shots of my M4A1 of the 2nd Armored Division in Normandy.
The model is the 1:35 Tasca/Asuka kit, but was sold as an Eduard boxing, with some extra PE added. For some reason this made it cheaper than buying the Asuka [...]
M123 HMUPS Gun truck
In times of need, you do what you have to do. Even if it means scrounging the base mail delivery vehicle for service. The now well known M123 HMUPS was originally a stop gap initiative by local troops on over seas deployment but was so [...]
Tarkus II, M60A1 1/48 kit bash. Kitech & Monogram
Not knowing what was in the Kitech kit ,it was supposed to have reactive armor per the USMC [ it did not] it also was a motorized kit, which made the running gear less accurate than the snaptite kits. I decided to try to make it represent [...]
