    Greg's 1/72 Academy M3 Half Track

    Bit of a late start for me! The M3 went together quite quickly. And some olive drab primer, and the wheels and tracks (almost) are on. While I do have the stowage kit, I decided I wanted to have the vehicle in motion, so would need a driver. Some modifications to a HaT tank rider, and I...

    Greg's 1/72 Academy M3 Half Track

    Hello all, My contribution for the group build; an M3 from the Academy 1/72 Ground Vehicle series. I've also picked up an accessory set from Redog, to add a bit of stowage to it. I'll just build the half track for the GB, but will likely throw a scene together involving the other vehicles at a...

    "The Next Day" - 1967, Sinai Peninsula

    Hello all, A small scene I've put together to play around with 1/35 figures and rust effects. Set in 1967 during the Six Day War, it depicts an Israeli anti-tank team patrolling past a burnt-out Egyptian BTR-152. The vehicle is an anti-aircraft variant, and was taken out by the team during an...

    Greg's 1/35 BT-7 (Lee's Russian Tank GB) 2022

    Hello all, I took a bit of a break with this one, but have finally got it done over the past week (only one day late!). Our scene here is set in Finland, 1939, and shows the crew of a Soviet BT-7 having some navigational problems. The commander and driver of the vehicle can't agree on where...

    Greg's Zvezda 1/35 BT-7

    A bit of weathering has gone on, and the hull has now been sealed: Aaaaaand now it's snowy Bit of an experimental effort. I'll likely change some bits if I can find a good way of doing it. Otherwise it'll be onto the base next.

    Greg's Zvezda 1/35 BT-7

    Some more work done with this one. A few more detail bits have been added; the PE kit came with a replacement grill for the engine deck, and a radio for the interior. I've also made some seats for the turret, which just about completes that side of things: The lay-out of the kits existing...

    Greg's Zvezda 1/35 BT-7

    Thanks all! No chains with this one, John, but I have some lying around somewhere, so fully intend to attach the customary links dangling off the front! In the meantime, the PE kit has arrived. It appears to be mostly exterior (which I wish I had known before I used so much of the original...

    Greg's Zvezda 1/35 BT-7

    Bit of a delay, but I've managed to make a start. It's fiddley kit, which doesn't fit together too smoothly, but it's getting there. The steering mechanism and front guards were particularly tricky to get into the right places at the right angles. I've also decided that it'll be a...

    Greg's Zvezda 1/35 BT-7

    Hello all, Here's my input to the GB, a 1/35 BT-7 light tank. The plan is to have it in a winter get-up, on a small base with a couple of crew members. Not a huge amount of parts in this one, as it's still quite a small vehicle, but as I'm normally used to 1/72, that's probably a good thing!

    Hello all, I'll throw my hat into the ring with this new purchase. Going to give 1/35 another go.

    Greg's 1/72 Panzer IV (Shelf of Doom GB)

    Hello all, My entry into the Shelf of Doom GB has been completed. This is a Dragon Panzer IV that was initially started about 8 years ago. I've finished it up in DAK colours, and have displayed it with an old base from a Heller kit. Also present are some Airfix soldiers, and an Academy...

    Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.F2 (Dragon 1/72) - Started around 8 years ago

    More work on the Panzer has been done, and I think it's pretty much there. I've added a commander figure from the spares box, and started painting the base.

    Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.F2 (Dragon 1/72) - Started around 8 years ago

    A bit more work done on this one; I decided to add a spare wheel onto one of the sides that was looking a bit bare, so made a bracket out of thin wire. I also added some Jerry cans from the light vehicle set, and made a rack for them out of a strip of cardboard: And finally, decals...

    Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.F2 (Dragon 1/72) - Started around 8 years ago

    Thanks Gary, that would have been perfect. I had a look but couldn't find them in stock anywhere. Ah well, I'll have to make do with what I've got! A bit more work done on the PzIV: the included stowage and gubbins have been painted (although most of these came molded onto the hull, which is...

    Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.F2 (Dragon 1/72) - Started around 8 years ago

    Well unfortunately the track situation got worse :smiling5: The rubber-band style tracks (which I always hate) were too short, didn't connect properly, and risked tearing if I forced them too much. I've made an attempt at lengthening with a spare track link from the stowage, but it looks pretty...

    Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.F2 (Dragon 1/72) - Started around 8 years ago

    Thank you all! I'm starting to see why I may have abandoned this one :smiling5: the wheel arrangements on the sprues is an odd choice; they're mounted on by the axles, so you have to clip them off the sprue by the point that actually attaches them to the tank. Despite my best efforts to make...

    Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.F2 (Dragon 1/72) - Started around 8 years ago

    Hello all, This is a great subject for a GB, and during a clear-up I found just the thing that I hope is worth a revival. This Panzer IV was probably the last thing I started before model making took a back seat for me around 2012-2013ish. I had completely forgotten about it until I found...

    1/48 KV-1B 756(r) - "Kursk, 1943"

    Hello all, Another project I've been working on for a little while; a KV-1B 756(r) Beutepanzer. This is in 1/48 scale, and is the Hobby Boss kit with a few infantry pieces from Tamiya. The scene depicts the 756(r) over-running a Soviet trench sometime during Operation Citadel. This is my...

    1/72 Panzer VIII Maus - 'Germany, 1946'

    Hello all, I think I'm calling this one finished; there 's a lot of learning points I've taken from it, mainly around painting. I've used oil paints and panel line accentors properly for the first time to give the Maus and the building a worn look, and to bring out more of the detail on the...

    1/72 Pz.kpfw VIII Maus - Germany 1946

    A bit more progress today. I've molded some ammo crates for stowage, and made some additions to the turret; some netting for the barrel, and an MG34 for the commander. I've also started building up the rubble on the street; kitchen towel at the moment as a base layer, and when it's dry I'll...
