    Popski's Wasp (Tamiya & Resicast)

    Picked up the conversion set at Telford a couple of years back for the princely sum of £3. A really interesting subject - despite the age of the set (2014) the parts are cleanly cast and fit the current Tamiya Jeep kit reasonably well. The figure is from MasterBox

    Trumpeter SPW-70 (BTR-70)

    Partly inspired by the real BTR-80 in the last image. Picked up cheaply at a show and built OOB. There's a slight issue with the wheel alignment which means one wheel is a bit high - needs a muddy base! Simple kit with some interior detail.

    AFV Club Aussie Centurion Mk5/1 Vietnam Era

    Inspired to build this after a holiday in Cambodia* and Vietnam Straight box build apart from replacing the horrible vinyl tyres with 3D printed resin versions. Typical AFV Club Centurion - decent fit and not too complex. Only issue was the unexplained disappearance of one of the front idler...

    Gecko Scimitar 2

    Had this sitting in the stash for a while and finally got round to it. The Gecko kit represents a Scimitar 2 as deployed to the Gulf around 2012 complete with additional standoff "bar armour". The kit is pretty well engineered with a decent parts breakdown and excellent fit. The only real...

    Takom 1/35 FV324 Mk3 Bulldog

    This one has been sitting around for a while but as I've just done the Warrior I thought I'd dig it out. Having done the Takom FV432 Mk 1/2 I assumed that this one would be the same base plus a few extras and, with the exception of the interior parts, that is pretty much the case. Built...

    MENG - Warrior TES(H) 1/35

    Built completely out of the box. The kit itself was a great build with no fit issues and literally fell together .... EXCEPT for the tracks which are nicely detailed individual links which are joined by using a jig holding 7 links and a sprue of 6 pins which are meant to hold the links...

    Amusing Hobby Centurion Mk 5 AVRE

    Picked up in the closing down sale of our local model shop after the sad passing of the owner. This tank represents one of the Mk 5 Centurion AVREs that served in the first Gulf War. Built pretty much out of the box - the kit is based on the Amusing Hobby Mk5 gun tank and the hull and running...

    Marder I on FCM36 Chassis - ICM 1/35

    Picked up at a show as it seemed an interesting subject (and it was cheap) and built pretty much out of the box. The Germans used a variety of captured vehicle hulls to mount both their own PAK guns and often captured Russian weapons. In this case they fitted a PAK 40 (75mm/46) to a repurposed...

    1/48 Tamiya Mosquito

    Something out of my comfort zone as I normally build military vehicles (armour and softskins) and the occasional figure. This is RAAF Mosquito SB-Y (PZ452) of 464 Squadron lost on 4th February 1945 while returning to Thorney Island after a raid. The crash occurred around a mile from where I...

    Italeri 1/24 scale Willys MB Jeep - SAS conversion - Completed

    Picked up this 1/24 scale Italeri Willys MB kit at a show recently as I thought it would look good as a SAS version. I 3D printed most of the stowage - some from rescaled 1/35th and some I designed from scratch. The Tamiya version ( my original inspiration ) is included to show the difference...

    Ferret Mk 2 - BAOR - Airfix 1:35

    My second Airfix Ferret - this time with a few tweaks - The incorrect rear grill was replaced with a 3D printed version I designed from scratch and the wheels are also 3D printed ( my first attempt to design the Dunlop Tray Grip tyres). I built this one as a later BAOR vehicle upgraded with a...
