Transport Command: 1/48th Gallery Models CH-34 Choctaw (CH-126)
I was surprised to come across this 1/48th Gallery Models CH-34 Choctaw kit at a local Hobby Show a few years back as I didn't know of its existence. My mind raced to remember if this CH-34 was the same basic model used by Canada in [...]

Kit is fairly simple except as others have noted, the undercarriage is most complex and a challenge [...]
Takom 1/72 HMS Hood B Turret
Done on a whim. And done in a colour and fit configuration that would probably not have happened. I wanted to show an earlier faded tri colour scheme with the late fit barage weapons mounted on top of the turret. The kit is quite a simple [...]
Waffen SS Soldier 1945
Old Verlinden "Nachtjager" casting my wife brought me back to Japan when she went home to visit friends. Over the years it fell into disrepair so I fixed it up, repainted it as a Waffen SS soldier late war.

Tamiya 251 “Stuka zu fuss”. Built straight from the box with some added stowage. Other than the initial paint and filter I tried using only pigments for weathering. I first made up light (exterior) and dark (interior) mixtures to [...]
