Leopard 1 A1A1 With Peddinghaus Turret
This is another stalled project that I'm tidying up before re-commencing work on it. The base kit is the Revell 1 A5 (new mould) with the turret replaced by a Peddinghaus 1 A1A1 turret. I'm going to take the B&V armour from the 1 A5, [...]
Revell Leopard 1 A1A4 Weathering And Camnet
This is the (very) old mould Revell Leopard 1. There is a review of it on the Leopard Club website. Needless to say, it is a tad dated by modern standards!
This was my first attempt at using a pencil for the worn metal effect, I think I [...]
Trying New Techniques On Tamiya Leopard A3/A4
I decided to try out a few new (to me at least) techniques. I'm trying to get a metallic sheen to weathered parts of the tank and equipment. I've not done this using a pencil before and I think it's far more controllable than just straight [...]
Unfinished Business – Finishing Off the Belgian Leopard
A few days ago I was sorting through my Leopard stuff and came across a few items of etch and resin. I then realised that they were from my Legend Belgian Leopard conversion. To my horror there was still quite a lot to be done, which I had [...]
Leopard AS1 Engine, Engine Bay and Drivers Compartment Latest Progress
Well, my AS 1 with exposed engine bay and detailed drivers compartment has made some significant progress over the last week. The work started on the engine itself. This is a mini work of art in it's own right, well done PSM. Work is also [...]
Australian Leopard AS1 with drivers and engine compartments.
I've started yet another AS1 Leopard, only this time I am showing the exposed engine compartment - from Perfect Scale Modellbau and the drivers compartment from Leopard Workshop. Both are excellent additions and worth every penny!

Cold War Gone Hot – The Venlo Counter Strike
I decided to have a change of pace just lately. This is the Mini-art Dutch house.
I've always been a great fan of some of the "Cold War gone hot" books such as Gen. "Shan" Hacketts "Third World War" and [...]
Takom 1/35 Canadian C2 Leopard Mexas
This is the Takom kit of the C2 Mexas. I've heard some not too complimentary things about the turret of the Takom kit. As I'm doing another (Meng) C2 but with the thermal cover to the turret and driving area, I decided to [...]
Dutch Leopard 1
Here's the latest with the Dutch Leopard. Now painted in Olive Gelb and sealed in with another gloss coat. Next to add some pin washes and weathering. The kit is the new mould Revell one, which I think is good value for money. I'm using [...]
