Well, I'm now getting on to my favourite stage of the build, the weathering!! There are still details to add, such as the tubular "thingies" that go on the bottom of the side skirts (can someone please tell me what they are and/or what they do!![...]

I "rediscovered" this Meng Leopard in the proverbial "safe place"! At least I had sealed her in a resealable food bag to keep the dust off. She is painted in the NATO tri-colour pattern. I used some spare decals from another Meng 1A5 and added s[...]

Here is a line up of 1/35th Leopards from various manufacturers. The 1 A1 is the old Tamiya kit. I'm going to replace it soon with the new mould Revell kit. The 1 A4 again is Tamiya. Revell (old mould) provides the Leopard 1 A5A5. This model is [...]

This is an old Leopard 1/35 from Revell, I was in the house of a colleague who bought it many years ago and did not build it. One day talking about modeling he told me he had this kit and that he gave it to me. Obviously I said yes and I started[...]

Evening all, I just bought a handy dandy new photo booth and have been putting it to good work finally getting my completed builds captured on film...well electrons, but you know what I mean. Anyway here is some armor that I've completed over [...]

Meng 1:35 Leopard 2A4

A great kit and a great brute of a tank. I love Meng kits and this is another great example. Plenty of detail and plenty of parts. Such as 3 snap-together parts per track shoe. But the resulting working tracks are fantastic.

Tamiya's 1/35 Leopard 2 A6 rounds off my current crop of builds before the Christmas holidays. It's a Tamiya so this is very much an out of box build. Markings are for an example used by the 5th Company, 203rd Panzer Battalion of the Bundeswe[...]

Tamiya's very ancient & venerable Leopard1 A1 completed in February 2017. Though not a patch in terms of detail & perhaps accuracy compared to today's kits (I'm thinking of the Revell offering) - it does to my eye still look like a Leo[...]
