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 "Third World War - The Untold Story". I'm[...]

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 "donate" the unused tur[...]

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 the Leop[...]

Images taken 06/05/21. This is my Leopard AS1 in ODL finish with a mud cam pattern. I've replaced both the baskets on the back with newer ones. I'm still getting the hang of brass folding! Not shown is the stowage I'm currently making for it.

Here's the latest (as of 06/05/21) of My AS1 3 colour Cam. I've now added some stowage and weathering on the wheels. I'm going to do this one as if it was on the ranges, so red flag and not overly weathered...

Meng 1/35 Leopard C2 MEXAS + Dozer

The Leopard C2 MEXAS is an upgrade of an upgrade of an upgrade. No, really! Leopard tanks in Canada began with the C1, which was essentially the 1A3. The C1 was upgraded to C2; several C1s were fitted with the Modular Expandable Armor System ([...]

Weathering, the Belgian Leopard Conversion Continues

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!![...]

Leopard 1A5 Bundeswehr

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[...]
