1/35 Hobby Boss VK45.02
Added a Brass barrel, machine gun, and fruil Tracks..the rest is out of the box.
Guadalcanal Marine 75mm Pack Howitzer, @ October 1942
The Howitzer is the excellent Vision Models injected kit, the figures are conversions of Dragon Guadalcanal Marines, with some Tamiya mortar crew parts. The sandbags are from Italeri, with epoxy putty blending. Painting is with acrylics, [...]
Tiger I sPzAbt 503 Russia 1944
Well not to be a headline hog, but figured I'd add a Tank to the mix. I love armor as well.
Tamiya 1/35 AAPV7 w/UGWS
I picked this one up at a local model show for $10. Again built stock out-of-box. Painted with Model Master acrylics and weathered with oil washes, filters and pastels. Figure painting is certainly not my forte, especially modern US 3-tone [...]
More metal with a side of rivets….Fine Molds 1/35 Japanese Army type 89 Medium tank….
Still on an armor run. This one was actually a great surprise Boithday gift from my kid last year (January 22) and a fabulous gift it was. I probably never would have bothered to get it, as it came in a three-installment deal in concert [...]
Vickers Crossley armored car
Hello, for my first article I present the Pit Road Vickers Crossely 1/35 scale armored car. Acquired from Hobby Link Japan just before Christmas this was a nice easy build. All the parts were well fitting and parts count low, a pleasure of [...]

The JSU-152 was built OOB. It's a wonderful kit that goes together [...]
Tamiya 1/35 M51 Super Sherman
Here's my Tamiya M51 Super Sherman. The kit was built OOB (out-of-box) with no extras added.
This kit goes together very well (it's a Tamiya after all, right?). No fit issues, no putty, just shake the box, add some glue and paint and [...]
1/35 M1025 Humvee
I had no plan to build a Humvee of any sort until Tamiya announced their M1025. Just one of those cases where I had the urge to build something just because it was a Tamiya kit and I knew it was going to make for a fun and straight forward [...]
