Rick's 1-87 Scale Luftwaffe Airfield Fuel Tanker
Hi All, thought I'd do a blog on this build. I intend to do some serious chopping and modifying to get the desired results. The base vehicle is an obsolete Roskopf Models 1-87 scale Mercedes Benz L5 fuel truck. So here goes....- Mini Me

After finding some pics. online of these buses being used by the Wehrmacht Medical Units, I hunted one of these down on Evil-bay and converted it to more accurately represent the wartime version. I will eventually clutter it up with personnel and cargo for some future dio.- Mini Me

Iwo Jima 1-32 Scale
Hi Neil, found it in the third footlocker, so I didn't have to search too extensively. The first pic shows the cuff unbuttoned and the second with the cuff buttoned in the first position. As you can see it's just a fold over to create a gentle pleat in the sleeve. Hope this is helpful with...- Mini Me

What's on the Bench 2023
Started messing with this bus, I think it's going to be a candidate for the German Medical Corps. It's actually quite a rare vehicle being a Saurer BT4500....These were appropriated by the Wehrmacht to fill the need for Personel Transport. It only took four soakings in the Scalecoat ll Wash...- Mini Me
