    Tamiya Marder III M - Animal Antics GB

    Jump forward some weeks - I thought I'd taken more in-flight photos but If I did I don't know what I did with them! The (almost) finished article (I'm still debating whether to hang the "chicken wire camouflage netting on the sides and I've mislaid the notek light) As far as the GB is...

    Tamiya Marder III M - Animal Antics GB

    Basic hull shape assembled so I could offer up the wheels while "knitting" the tracks.... tracks after burnishing fluid and a bit of weathering Mark

    Tamiya Marder III M - Animal Antics GB

    Hi - finally got round to starting the second Marder - this one is Tamiya's Marder III Ausf M Obligatory box & sprue shots … Fruilmodel tracks (the box says these are for a Hetzer but they are generic late pattern 38T tracks) and RB turned metal barrel for the PAK 40. Typical Tamiya...

    "Waterlogged!" KV2 abandoned in river

    Hi drawing from this picture as my inspiration … Here's my interpretation using Trumpeter's 1:35 KV "Big Turret" and some random resin figures picked up from a rummage bin at a show... The base is insulation foam covered in tinted plaster and the water is my first attempt at...

    Mark's Revell 1:35 SPz Marder 1A3 IFV (AAGB)

    Here are some images of the Marder prototype at Bovington - it is in the Vehicle conservation centre (VCC) so all-round access is not possible Interesting that the rear is much more raked than the kit body.

    Mark's Revell 1:35 SPz Marder 1A3 IFV (AAGB)

    Hi This is Revell's 1:35 German Bundeswehr SPz Marder 1A3 - obtained as a raffle prize at a show. this is going to be pretty much an OOB build while I wait for some bits for the 1940's Marder III. I may try something different with the paint job if I can summon up the enthusiasm. start...

    T-55A - Syrian Conflict with improvised armour upgrade

    Hi this was a cheap SKIF kit picked up at SMW 2018 and just built. Didn't have time to do a build blog so here's the finished article. The improvised (welded steel plate) turret armour is based on photos of a "field upgraded" T-55 - the infill in the welded boxes is simply locally sourced...

    Shorland Armoured Car

    Calling this done for now. I may need to build a base for it - maybe Belfast 1969? Light/white balance went a bit funny on this one

    Shorland Armoured Car

    Most of my MM collection dates back to my first childhood (well teenage years) and now my wife thinks I'm entering my second … I did a fair bit of conversion/scratch in the past mainly for wargaming models when the market didn't have anything but not for many years - this was just a fill-in...

    Shorland Armoured Car

    bit more progress - Turret is now a millimetre or so deeper - looks better

    Shorland Armoured Car

    Jakko I photocopied the plans and checked the measurements to make sure there wasn't a scaling error. I built the Tamiya pink panther a while back and had a spare front panel (radiator grill & the front of the wings - I just compared with the Italeri panel and there is approx. 1mm difference...

    Shorland Armoured Car

    Started by cutting the templates - first question - "inside the lines or outside?".... and then attacked the plastic sheet …. No template for the roof & one of the "B" templates is actually the "E" template... Then the kit arrived - there are going to be a few left-over bits including the...

    Shorland Armoured Car

    Hi While rummaging through some old copies of MM I came across this... So I thought "why not?" The article uses two Tamiya kits - the "Pink Panther" and the "Land Rover Ambulance" but I'm using the more recent Italeri Land Rover 109 as my donor kit... Regards Mark

    spanner's Airfix 1/72 P 51-D Mustang.

    Hi this was an "Aldi Special" I guess as the decals look like "Rose Marie/Kelly Kid" not "Lollipoop" so the colour scheme is wrong - the decals are for a "Blue Nose" plane If you contact Airfix / Hornby as I did they will send you the correct decals - go to their web site & look for "spares"...
