All about AFV and related military model making.
Wonder who may have built one of these in the past? I got one for a present as a kid when they were brand new and the hottest thing on the market. It was lost in one of my Navy moves years ago and I have wanted one ever since, so I [...]
In all honesty, I had not planned on doing a diorama. It just sort of happened! I actually planned on doing a well detailed "Deuce and a Half" with one figure standing beside her but things soon got out of hand. 1874 [...]
Here is another model I built a few years ago.
This was DML's "Premium" kit - I don't even remember why it was called that. The zimmerit was applied and sculpted from two-part epoxy putty (Tamiya), using a homemade tool I [...]
This tank didn't take long to build at all. I built this one pretty much OOTB. The only thing I changed was the muzzle. I hacked off the original muzzle, and placed the spare on instead. The spare muzzle came from a botched Panther. I plan [...]
This is the second armor model I built after returning to the hobby. It is also my first Sherman. Was inspired to build this one after reading "Breakout at Normandy". I found a Testor's boxing of the Italeri kit for $15.00. A [...]
Built this one about ten or so years ago. As always, I started out with the intention of a quick build but the next thing you know, it just got away from me. The trailer is an old Italeri piece that had been sitting in a spares box since [...]
Had this kit laying in the stash for quite a while. Saw the movie "Bridge at Remagen" and got inspired to build it. Funny, two months after I built this, Bronco announces it is releasing an early version Chaffee. The Italeri [...]
Here's a little idea I came up with this morning : One angry StuG hunting American armor. I took 2 pics. one pic is from the view ( if you can call it such ) from the intended targets, and the other is from the hunter's viewpoint.
Here's a treat: One StuG III F, one M4 Sherman Custom, and one Walker Bulldog... all in one shot. Well, three shots. The M4 Sherman Custom : I took off the original 75mm gun, and replaced it with a gun from an old Dragon Panther II kit. [...]
This is the old Tamiya Chi-ha tank. Have build this kit a couple of years ago. My first tank till now.
Sprayed with revell enamels. Weathered with Revell sand brown and Tamiya weathering pastels. Mud is made from artist pigments.
