An Old Theme Revisited

by Derek Austin on June 2, 2018 · in Diorama · 37 ≡

Here is my interpretation of a meeting between the SAS and the LRDG! It uses the Tamiya 1/35 scale kits and was really a vehicle for me to try my hand at modeling desert terrain. Comments welcome as always!

by Tom Cleaver on May 31, 2018 · in Aviation · 22 ≡
