I haven't posted on here in a while but just started my new project. SURPRISE it's not a 1/700 ship. I started on my new 1/35 Ryefield M1 Abrams. I got bored doing ships so I changed pace. I must say that this kit is worth the price. The [...]
I don't get to build much these days, due to extensive work and study commitments, and not to mention 1/5 scale humans wandering about the house. Nevertheless I managed to finish Ryefield Models magnificent M1A2 Abrams by combining both [...]
Another Abrams, this time I built Tamiya's 1/35th M1A2 Operation Iraqi Freedom kit into a USMC M1A1 in Norway for Exercise Reindeer II in 2016. Tamiya includes the Marine M1A1 as an option in this boxing. I added a bustle rack extension [...]

This was such a fun build and the detail for a 1/72 kit was impressive. I only had a couple of issues with the kit:
1- some part number errors on the instructions, but these are easy to avoid as it is obvious where the errors are.
2- some [...]
Hello all!
This is a kit that I built for a buddy. I took these pics before I applied the custom decals that I had made depicting a 2ACR tank from the Battle of 73 Eastings. I should have took more after decals, but they were just the [...]
