1/32 scale AH1 Cobra

Here is my latest, the 1/32 scale Air Cobra by ICM. ICM sent me this kit to build, I had never built an ICM kit before and I have to say it was great, only negative was the thin decals but other than that the molding is terrific, no flash, [...]

OV-1A Mohawk Clear Prop! 1/72

Continuing on a theme of Army fixed wing aircraft in Vietnam, I selected this 1/72 scale Clear Prop model of the low-level, reconnaissance Mohawk. Requirements came from the US Army and its cockpit canopy is all utilitarian, looking a [...]

M113 A2 TAMIYA 1/35 - VIGNETTE

This was an attempt to show a vignette with one of the most iconic military vehicles :the M113. The M113 family was born in 1956, being the first APC made of aluminum. It was developed by FMC (Food Machinery Corporation) and was [...]

1/35 M4A3E8 Sherman Easy Eight by Tamiya

This one dates back to 2018 when the AFV Club offering was still pretty new. The kit is supposed to give you the option of an articulating suspension but bad engineering makes this very hard to achieve; I did not invest the time needed to [...]

The tough cows

Another whimsical idea based on past experience with Fresian Holstien cattle...not while I was in a tank but on tractors and in farm trucks mostly. They are curious animals, they're also large and quite strong therefore difficult to move [...]

Who's tired of C-Rations?

This dates from late 2013, an idea that came to me out of the blue one day The Academy 1/35 M-18 used, it gave me a decent base and assembled well. It was upgraded with a Verlinden interior set and ModelKasten workable tracks. The interior [...]

1/72 M-ATV

the kit was beautiful with plenty of amazing details, but except seats, dashboard and racks, the interior lacks any details. These i completely scratch builded from plastic pieces and "wired" together with led and copper wires. I [...]

US General Norman Schwarzkopf, 120mm Verlinden figure

Another 120mm Verlinden figure made in resin. I did this one mainly because I wanted to test the results of painting a camouflaged uniform. Overall I think it's not too bad. What do you guys think? Constructive critics welcome [...]
