Tiger II s.H.Pz.Abt 505

Here is the Tamiya 1/48 Tiger II with the excellent resin zimmerit from ATAK Model. I used about half of the Hauler P-E set, and lenses were added to both Hauler and scratch built periscopes. Grab handles and headlight conduit were added [...]

Challenger Mk 1 & 2

Hi folks, I've finally got the Challenger 2 finished. Considering it was a Xmas present from the one before, not the one just gone, I seem to be a bit behind with my builds! The Mk 1 was a build from a while back and my first attempt at [...]

Dragon 1/35 Sd.kfz. 250/11 Ie SPW with Panzerbuchse 41

That title is quite a mouthful for such a delicate little thing. Another OOB build. 96 pieces just for each of the tracks, but they were articulated when I was finished. Full interior with driver figure, too! Finish is MM '39-'43 [...]

Dragon 1/35 SU-85M Rebuilt and finished for a friend

This kit was given to me to re-build as I saw fit and finish better than the owner felt he was capable. I think it came out fairly well, considering it only took three weeks. I removed all of the road wheels and tracks to facilitate [...]

Minicraft 1/72 scale Railway Gun "Leopold" or "Anzio Annie".

Swap meet discovery and built OOB. Finished with MM Enamel Panzer Grey '39-'43. Weathered with AK Interactive washes and Tamiya Weathering system. A fun exercise in grey and rust. Very long, and awkward to display and transport.
