All about AFV and related military model making.
This tank kit is another fine example of a quality factory model. It had next to no flashing and the parts fit together with no problems.
It looks like I made some hand/foot brackets from my different size's of modeling wire. They were [...]
This is a very nice 1/72 scale model to build with no problems at all. Everything fit together and all I did was lightly sand the parts that fit to another part. I have used thin super glue since 1985 and their gap filling glue only.
The [...]
I don't have a photo of the bag that this model came in, nor the instructions, so I just looked at the parts and put it together and then painted it. I built a small styrofoam base and applies some hobby shop model grass on [...]
YOU GUESSED IT...I had to go out in my back yard and get more sandstone for this model. A million guys could come over and get a piece of my sandstone and there will still be enought stone for another couple of million models. If you [...]
A wonderful kit to build and of course I got some more sandstone slabs to put this model on. Everything went together just fine and it was painted with my Tamiya paints.
Another armor model is on its' way!
Enjoy!

Another easy model to build. The box art show's a winter scene so I check my supply of snow that I got from the hobby shop long ago and I have plenty of it. Some how I missed taking photos of the tread's being painted and installed, but [...]
Another easy model to build, however I taped the long gun barrel together and it had a slight cure in it. If I try to bend in back in shape, the hard plastic may brake. I clicked on "think" and my brain said "glue in a solid [...]
This little car kit went together real nice and I don't think I had any building problems as I followed the direction's.
I applied a desert/like Tamiya color of paint to the model. I clear coated the model with my Future Floor Wax, then [...]
After I built my Patton tank in 1998 I continued to build more of armor models. Here's another one that I built in February, 2016.
The real tank had what they called a "Blade Cleaning System " attached to the front of the big [...]
Some time in 1998 I bought this kit which was my very first tank model. I have no record of who made the kit but I can say that it was very easy to build right "o.o.b."
I painted the track with some steel paint because real tanks [...]
