All about AFV and related military model making.
Or, can a tank even BE good looking? I think so. I saw a model of a T-90 the other day, man these new tanks are covered with "stuff" sticking out all over the place. I thought of my Dragon model 1940 built some years [...]
TC does... a tank? Yes. I have been known to do some. This is the Hobby Boss 1/48 M4A3E8 "Easy Eight".
At the outbreak of the Second World War, U.S. Army doctrine did not support tank vs. tank warfare. Enemy tanks were to be [...]
Well, I'm not sure what time/date it is in iModeler land, but where I live it's 11;30 am on 31st October! Here's my contribution to the group build, Tamiya's 1/35 kit of the French battle tank B1 bis. Being a Tamiya kit it was easy to [...]

The 70's just don't seem that long ago...gad I've been doing this awhile. I left my parent's bosom at age 27 in 1982, but plenty of bits of me remain behind in the basement, among them these plastic beasties. At the time these were state [...]
Ok - I had been noticing this series of 1/48 scale armor kits that Tamiya has steadily been releasing, and reading a lot of favorable reviews. I wanted a 'quick' fun build, so when I saw this i thought I would give it a try. I can [...]
This is my seventh completed model this year. I painted it with Vallejo acrylics and weathered it with a mix of Vallejo colors, enamels, oils and powders. The kit was a very fun build. Construction only took me two evenings allowing me [...]
