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.

If it looks like a Turtle…

So it will be nicknamed. The Skoda PA-11 was a Czech design from the interwar years. For it's history see here: (link) As far as the kit, it's Takom's new 1/35 release and it's a fun one. It goes together fairly easily, just needing some [...]

JS-2 1:48 Tamiya

Great kit. Builds up nice, but cries our for detailing and a lot of roughing up.
