2022 builds, and a Happy New Year to all!
This year was less productive than I had hoped.
I only completed 4 kits:
A 1/72 Eduard Fokker Dr.I triplane (mine is on the right, and my adult son's is on the left) as part of our club "Fokker" build theme
The 1/48 Amusing [...]
1/35 PzKpfw Nb.Fz Panzerkampfwagen Neubaufahrzeug
Tha German Panzerkampfwagen Neubaufahrzeug (new construction vehicle) was used mainly for propaganda purposes back in 1935. Of the five tanks produced, three arrived to Norway in 1940 to support the ground forces. Only one made it to the [...]
Amusing Hobby 1/35 Rheintochter R1
Although it did not reach operational service, the Rheintochter surface to air missile was well into its experimental stages. The development program however, was terminated towards the end of the War.
The kit represents a mobile version [...]

Painted it in prototype style, some metal some primer some [...]
“No idea, Joe. Tell em it’s some kind of Wonderbug Machine.”
April 1945: the US Army's Shermans are overrunning airfields faster than the AAF can shoot them up. As some GIs poke their Garands into the backs of Luftwaffe scientists and groundcrew and shuffle them off the base, other Americans take a [...]
Imitation-sincerest form of flattery?
When the invading Wehrmacht encountered the Soviet union's T-34 tank for the first time, panic ensued. Here was a monster that deflected anti-tank rounds with ease, with mud-beating wide tracks, high mileage diesel power, and a nice long [...]
