D-Day Collection
Here's most of my 1/48th D-Day collection. I'm hoping to have it ready for display at our local library for June next year.
Egyptian T-54: The Yom Kippur Veteran 1973 (1/72)
The Yom Kippur Veteran- Egyptian T-54
This vehicle dates from the period shortly after the conflict with Israel in 1973.
The showen model isn´t based on a specific reference but was rather inspired by the idea that in the wake of the war [...]
A rare bird, but all the more worth seeing: de Havilland's DH.91 "Albatross"!
DH.91 Albatross/ "Fingal
The type designation "Albatross" seems well chosen for the de Havilland DH.91. The wide-span wing tips, which thin out to form an elegant point, are analogous to the wings of the mighty sea bird [...]
Ford F-150 Flareside farm truck in 1/25th scale
Hi all,
Here is my latest build of the Moebius 1/25th scale 1966 Ford F-150 Flareside farm truck. I built this truck in around 70 hours. Real metal trim and grill. Several techniques were used for the rust to include, dry brushing, chalk [...]
Jerry Crandall GB: Ta 152 H-0
I’ve had this 1/48 DML/Trimaster Ta 154 H-0 in my stash since the early 90’s. The Jerry Crandall GB finally got me off my keister to get going on this because I also had EagleCal’s Ta 152 H #133 sheet already in the decal dungeon [...]

Honda REPSOL
The idea for this build began as I followed several bike builds in the Motorcycles Group. Between @bikequeen, @chinesegeorge and @johnb I knew I needed to attempt a bike build.
I did some looking at my local hobby shop and on Amazon and [...]
Korea War GB: Lavochkin La11 Fang, ARK models, 1/48
Herewith my finished Lavochkin La11 Fang from ARK models. This build is part of the “Korea : The Forgotten War“ group build. It is a fairly easy kit which was already mentioned in the review of Tom Cleaver @tcinla here on iModeler in [...]
Trumpeter 1/16 T 34/76 Model 1942: The relationship between scale and weathering
At some point I got curious about how it is like to build one of the 1/16th scale AFV monsters. Trumpeter's T-34 that comes with interior detailing satisfied my curiosity. It is a solid and easy AFB build thanks to the large size of parts. [...]
