1/35 DML Sd.Kfz. 184 Schwerer Jagdpanzer "Elefant"

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 [...]

Tamiya 1/35 scale Walker Bulldog

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 [...]

Italeri 1/35 M4A1 Sherman.

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 [...]

Jeepers!

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 [...]

Italeri 1/35 M-24 Chaffee (Backdated)

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 [...]

First day of hunting American Armor season....

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.

Panzer Vor !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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. [...]

Tamiya 1: 35 Chi-Ha tank

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. Best [...]

StuG III

Here is my first submission to this site : A Dragon StuG III. I built this one completely OOTB (Out Of The Box). The decals are from various other kits. and the victory rings on the gunbarrel are hand painted. The model itself, is also [...]

From the Dark Side

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.
