German Baureihe 52 with Steifrahmentender, Schwere Plattformwagen and King Tiger (1/35)

This should be my masterpiece since restarting the hobby about a year ago. What a build (and work) is has been. But I’m very happy with the result. This summer I was able to buy the Trumpeter Baureihe 52 mit Steifrahmentender (00210) for [...]

Tamiya 1/48 A6M5a Zero Fighter (Zeke)

Zero fighter made by Nakajima. Tamiya's new tool Zero is a quantum leap by comparison to their old (but accurate) mold. Definitely, a gem.

Panther re do

2nd time I have built this kit. The first time ended with frustration and me binning the model (that’s the polite version). I wanted to take another stab at it and pretty happy with the results. Need to do some weathering and apply the [...]
