    A very personal project

    Hi Everyone This next project is of a subject very close to me. My grandfather drove a Sexton Self Propelled Gun in WW2 and it's my intention to try to build a model of this vehicle in his memory. You may have read that I have the S-Models resin kit of the Sexton, and that the quality is not...

    Finished Kursk Diorama (Cross of Iron GB)

    Well, I'm finally calling this one done. After 3 and a half months of figure mods, building interiors, blowing tanks up, digging trenches and planting fur grass it's time to draw this one to a close. I could go on tweaking things till the cows come home but I'm drawing the line here. Here's...

    1/32 Extravaganza!

    Hi everyone Just had to share this... Bought these fine beauties over the last 2 months and these will definitely be getting my attention after my GB build. The idea is a 1/32 face off of aircraft through the wars so we have:- Roden Fokker DR1 v Roden SE5 (on order) PCM Hurricane v Eduard...

    Tamiya 25pdr Question

    Anyone out there built the 1/35 25pdr? My question is: does the kit include the later muzzle brake? If it has I may purchase it and try to rebuild a hopelessly flawed Sexton I have. If anyone has the kit either with the Quad or on it's own could they have a quick look. Many thanks in advance...

    Kursk. II S.S. Panzer corps slowly claw their way toward Obayan

    The story behind the build is this. The date is July 6 1943, Operation citadel is 2 days old. Against dug-in and very stubborn resistance German advances are slow. The only real gains are in the southern pincer, southeast of Obayan, where German Fourth Panzer army has battled it's way to...

    Forest Luftwaffe hide out

    Hi everyone This is the beginnings of my forest diorama for the FW 190 A8 I completed in the GB. I decided not to bore everyone with the process of making 7 pine trees, and so I've started the thread with only 2 more to complete. The idea for the diorama came from the Group build when I was...

    Blue 13 finished - diorama to follow...

    Hi everyone I'm calling Blue 13 finished. Overall I'm quite pleased with the result and can recommend this kit whole heartedly. The kit has some very fine detail, fantastic etch and canopy masks and on the whole came together relatively easily. A piece of advice I would give to anyone wishing...

    Anyone know how to make scale Pine trees?

    Hi everyone Wondered if anyone had a system for making fir trees? I seem to remember an article in Tamiya magazine way back but I don't have the issue. I have a way of making deciduous trees (see pics of my king tiger/sdkfz 250 diorama) that is, I think, quite convincing but pine trees are...

    New to this group build stuff but really looking forward to it!

    First of all, hi everyone! Although I've been registered with the site a while, this is my first venture into the group build forum. I'm really interested to see everyone's 190 take shape and, as I'm not usually an aircraft modeller, would appreciate any historic or technical advice on the...
