Thought I would post a few pics of what I have completed over the last 2 and a half years. First, the armour. This is Tamiya's 35th Pz III Ausf N with some extra's. Really nice build and my first desert build in an age. And this is Dragons 35th Panther Ausf G early. I bought some AM for this as well, but its such a nice kit, it didn't really need it. Tamiya's old Su-85 in German markings. Under there some where is Dragons early Jagdpanther, another great Dragon Panther kit. This was my first attempt at making my own trees, something I have been putting off for a while. This is Revell's 72nd Warrior. Not my usual scale for armour, but my other half got this for a birthday and thought I would like it as I used to drive these. And here, Tamiya's Marder III Ausf M My favourite armour subject, the Sd.Kfz 251. In this case, the AFV Club /3 Ausf D. And for a change, I decided I would like to build some 35th modern British armour that I worked with or around at one time. So I kicked off with Tamiya's 35th Chally I. And last in the armour section, Merits 1/18th 88m Flak 36, with lots of scratchbuilding. So, next up, aircraft.

Now the wingy things. I think I was building this when I last posted. MPM's 72nd Me 262A2a/U2. This beast replaced the Italeri kit I had built years ago but was no more. Hasegawa's 72nd He 111Z had lots of PE, resin and plenty of scratchbuilding added. As well as all things German, I have an interest in aircraft based in Norfolk, my home county. This is the hasegawa B-24D lead ship. My first 109 was hasegawa's 72nd G-6/R6. I also enjoy doing Luft 46 builds, this is the Dragon 72nd Do 335B-4. Of course there has to be a Stuka in there. This is the SH Ju 87A-2. And just to show I do build some modern stuff. Hasegawa's 72nd F-16D. And Italeri's F-111A. Something a bit different, from HPH, a 1/18th DB 605 engine. And this build I have wanted to do for years in tribute to those who took part in a largely forgotten operation. This is Huma's 72nd DFS 230 depicted during the assault on Eben Emael. Lots of researche went into this to get the scene as accurate as possible. My first, and so far only, 32nd build. Hasegawa's Bf 109F-4. Another build that's been a long time coming of a great looking aircraft. Dragon's 72nd He 219A-0. Yet another modern one, Hasegawa's MV-22B Osprey. Followed by another Luft 46 build, Revell's Ar 555. And to finis off, its back to the fine county of Norfolk for the SH 72nd Westland Whirlwind FB. And I will finish off with some odd's and sods in a little while.

Thanks' guys. I am lucky in that I get to build quite a bit, though of course never enough. I'll just finished this off as I got side tracked last night, so here is my last selection. Firstly, a 1/4 Darth Vader. This is a copy of the Screamin kit that I got off E-Bay. It came without the sabre blade of cap chain and the feet neded some adjustment. But this one is the genuine article, the Screamin 1/4 Stormtrooper. And the one Star Wars subject I have wanted to do for ages. A 1/72nd resin TIE Bomber from Multi Verse Models. And lastly, my first bust. I have ben wanting to do a bust for a while but was waiting us had improved. But what I had in mind was a WW2 figure of classical Roman or Greek. But the Mrs forced my hand and got me this 1/9 Sioux from Young Miniatures. Thnaks for lookin, and I look forward to seeing you all around the forum.

Thanks panzer. I was really please with it, even surprised myself. And most importantly, her who must be obeyed likes it and has even allowed it into the living room. Now I have a Roman signifier to do.
