1/35 Cromwell (Tamiya)
1/35 Cromwell	I lowered the saturation on these pictures as it looked jarring with the bright sunshine and snowy tank!	Photo reference was used to capture the details	Miniart crew figures. Resin spare wheels - I forget the manufacturer name

1/35 Wehrmachtschlepper (Bronco)
1/35 armored wehrmachtschlepper. Kit is from Bronco and included a fictional searchlight which looks cool but was never fitted so I left it off	The kit itself is very nicely done.	This was a late war development. Most photos show a truck type body

1/35 Amusing Hobby Conqueror Mk1
1/35 Conqueror Mk1	Turret is reversed on the chassis as per a photo reference	Vehicle also had no side skirts which show off the suspension	I re-shaped the turret front and top

1/35 Tamiya M60A1
1/35 M60A1 representing a vehicle on exercise in Germany	This was an Armorama campaign to model a 70's kit. Scratch built details. Fun project!	Kit from 1976, no PE or resin allowed. Most recent items are jerrycans from 1984.	Uses Tamiya crew figures modified to be taking a kip! Also note BBQ grill 50 gal drum and boom box!

1/35 Meng Vskfz 617 and Zvezda Panzer 1
1/35 Meng Vskfz 617 and Zvezda Panzer 1	Figures are from ICM - Soviet Staff Personnel	The Vskfz 617 was vehicle designed for mine clearing	It does not seem to have been widely used	So I came with this idea that the Russians from it abandoned	Reinforced the abandoned look with broken tracks on the Pz I	Armament removed from turrets. Note that the Vskfz 617 used the same turret as the Pz I

1/72 Revell Fokker_DR1
1/72 Revell Fokker_DR1	Well look here it is the same model I made as a kid but with different markings	So here is how it looks when it has not been dropped and glued a dozen times!

1/35 Mounted Wehrmacht soldier (Tamiya)
1/35 Mounted Wehrmacht soldier	Had this figure looking lost in the cabinet and decided to set it off with a base	Much use was made of horses by Germany in WWII

1/35 Russian Soldier with Maxim (Tamiya)
1/35 Russian Soldier with Maxim. Tamiya I think.	Had another figure looking lost in the cabinet and decided to put it on a base	Displays much better this way

1/72 ESCI U.S. 3/4-ton 4x4 Carrier Truck
1/72 ESCI U.S. 3/4-ton 4x4 Carrier Truck	This model was planned to be in a convoy with other allied trucks	but it was replaced with a more appropriate 6x6 and thus it is presented here

1/72 ESCI Flammpanzer_III
1/72 ESCI Flammpanzer_III	This model was originally built in 1996 but got damaged	So this is the restoration of that model	I decided to improve the look by adding to the turret height as part of the rebuild

1/76 Airfix Opel_Blitz
This the Airfix Opel Blitz truck	Model has been modified to a configuration used in North Afrika	Spare wheel, extra liquid cans and storage boxes under the bed	Glazing was added

1/76 Airfix Pak40 with crew
1/76 Airfix Pak40 with crew	Included with the Airfix Opel Blitz truck is a 75mm Pak40 and crew figures	Since I modeled the truck as a cargo carrier not a gun-tower, I decided to mount the gun on its own base	Added rubble and ammunition boxes
