All about AFV and related military model making.
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 a Revell of Germany 1/72nd Abrahms with resin stowage. Can't beat R of G in braille scale armor. The markings are dry transfer. Just a touch of weathering.
After TONS of fiddling I'm calling this done (except of course for the commander figure I'm still fooling with). AFV Club's Churchill namesake is a great kit. When I saw the boxart of this new release, festooned with spare track link [...]
There is an old adage that if you spend the time to build an old difficult kit then a mainstream model company will release a new state of the art version of the kit soon after. Now, I am not going to say it’s true, but I’m not going [...]
This vignette 5 years, I think. Company model AER Moldova, very crude and inaccurate. But then, it's just I was not paying attention))) Mechanic - tank crewman of a set of ICM.
So, Russia, the end of the 20s, somewhere on the dirt road ...
