    1/35 SADF Eland Mk7 (AML 90) "Noddy Car"

    The main gun, co-ax and commanders hatch end stop fitted. The commanders .303 is loosely positioned for the photo. There are still a few bits to be done and the finish line for the turret assembly is in sight. I'm very pleased with my scratch building efforts. Till next update!

    Hasegawa 1/72 Robotech/Macross Valkyrie Battroid

    This is the completed office block. Did some signage, the fictional engineering company that reverse engineered and developed the Valkyrie. Just to add some random Macross reference to a dull building. Did a spot of weathering and added HVAC and grime to the roof. I'm really chuffed with the...

    Hasegawa 1/72 Robotech/Macross Valkyrie Battroid

    I did some roadworks and road signage, starting to take shape, now just need to weather the road and complete the Battroid. Used Vallejo's excellent asphalt product. A little weathering and a Battroid would not go amiss. Till next time!

    1/35 Rooikat AFV (Trumpeter)

    Let there be dust! Found a great product, Modellers Pigment, Brown Earth. I am in the process of applying it liberally to my Rooikat. As you can in this image of a test bed variant, the dust really sticks. This is what I am trying to emulate with my build. Thanks for watching.
