This weekend I presented this 1/35 scale M577 Command vehicle commanded by Cpt. Michael B. Hartgraves (my Father-in-law) who served with the 11th Armored Cavalry Division, Vietnam in 1969. This was an 80th birthday present my wife and [...]
My first ever tank build, dating from around 2013, shortly after i had gotten back into the hobby. I cant even remember who the kit was by, likely to be the Tamiya kit, but not 100% sure.
Full build write up can be found here: (link) but [...]
Hallo again,
This is my Tamiya 1/35 JS-3 'Stalin' tank.
Basic paint is Tamiya Olive, shading with different shades of lifecolor green. Washes with oil-based paints. Tracks are from Masterclub. Hope you like it
I painted Tamiya's T-55 in the Gzhel pattern. The actual tank in this paint scheme exists in Russia.

Camouflage was sprayed freehand with a 20$ airbrush and AK interactive RC colors (ratio of 1:1).
Have a great day!
I have just finished my second project in 1/16 scale. This time I had a King Tiger from Trumpeter at the workshop. It was definitely the most labor-intensive model in my career. I devoted 7 months and 175 hours of work to him. At times I [...]
After banging out 20 airplane kits in a row, along with 3 in progress since COVID started, my mojo has waned a bit. For a little change of pace, I pulled this 1974 Tamiya Stuart kit from the stash and had some fun. I purchased a Star [...]
