    Anyone good with cap badges?

    Hello all, There's some very knowledgeable people on this forum, so I wondered if there was anyone might be able to assist with a little mystery I've been trying to solve. My partner's grandfather served in the military during WW2, but never spoke about what he did, and sadly passed away a...

    1/72 Pz.kpfw VIII Maus - Germany 1946

    Aaaand groundwork painted. Most of this will be covered in rubble and the suchlike. Also done are the three US soldier figures.

    1/72 Pz.kpfw VIII Maus - Germany 1946

    A bit more work on this one, mainly the street. I've scored the pavement and bricks into a plastic sheet, and will paint these grey. The inside of the building has been done to mimic floorboards, and will be brown. Also, a few more additions to the Maus. It now has some unditching beams, a...

    1/72 Pz.kpfw VIII Maus - Germany 1946

    I've unleashed some oil paints on the Maus, and it now looks significantly more grubby. I've attempted some chipping with a sponge technique as well, but that hasn't gone particularly well (I'm probably using the wrong colour). Also I thought such a beast would probably need a way to get onto...

    1/72 Pz.kpfw VIII Maus - Germany 1946

    First paint is on (minus the rockets), with a dark wash to bring out some of the smaller details. I've also added a stowage rack on the front. Next up is some oil paints, and then to start adding more extra bits. Also the three US soldiers who will be hiding in the building. Really shows the...

    1/72 Pz.kpfw VIII Maus - Germany 1946

    A bit more progress on the construction... ...and now it also has some rockets. Salvaged from a Staghound kit from a GB. For better or for worse :smiling5:

    1/72 Pz.kpfw VIII Maus - Germany 1946

    Thanks for the interest all. It's coming together quite nicely. The first thing I've noticed is....wheel. Lots and lots of wheels :smiling5: And the PE bits are on, which is a nice touch. And how it might look on the base:

    1/72 Pz.kpfw VIII Maus - Germany 1946

    Hello all, I fancied trying something a little bit different, so I'm going to be attempting a 'what if' style diorama, the centerpiece being a Maus from Vespid Models. It's going to be an urban scene, set somewhere in Germany in 1946, where the war still rages on, and Germany apparently managed...

    1/72 German Artillery Position & Sd.Kfz 231

    Hello all, Another build from me as I try in vain to work my way through the stash :smiling5: depicted here we have a German artillery position, some time 1939-1940. It's half the Revell 'German Artillery' set, along with an Italeri Sd.Kfz 231 6-rad. The 6-rad has some first attempts at using...

    1/35 Tamiya Universal Carrier

    Hello all, For my contribution to Simon T's memorial build, a small scene depicting British paratroopers fighting in The Netherlands, 1944. Rest in peace, Simon; the sheer amount of entries in this GB is testament to how sorely you'll be missed. Thanks, Greg

    Greg's 1/35 Tamiya Universal Carrier

    Thank you all! In the interest of trying something new, I've given casting a go, using milliput. My first and second efforts at casting a Lee Enfield: Far from perfect, and still some trimming to do, but I think they'll be fine as accessories for the back of the carrier, or the inside of a...

    1/72 UM SU-100 Self Propelled Gun.

    Hi Jim, Looking fantastic so far. Regarding the track on the front, I believe these were bolted on, sometimes with 8, sometimes with 6. Some pictures show the bolts after the track has been removed. Edit: Also, an idea for how to use that tow cable, if you want it to collect every bit of...

    Greg's 1/35 Tamiya Universal Carrier

    After much trial and error, and a fair bit of putty usage, the carrier now has a man on the Bren.

    Greg's 1/35 Tamiya Universal Carrier

    Some weathering done; looking a bit more muddy and well used now. I'll be kitbashing the included crew figures and one of the paratroopers I have to make him sit in the gunners position, and will be doing a scene with fighting on a street corner. It's a shame; the carrier comes with five crew...

    Greg's 1/35 Tamiya Universal Carrier

    A bit more work done on this. Construction, painting and decals done. Just need to add the stowage/weaponry and start weathering, then it'll be onto the figures and base.

    Greg's 1/35 Tamiya Universal Carrier

    Thank you all. Started this yesterday, and it's started coming together very quickly. I've left the front section off for ease of painting the driver's compartment. Next step will be some sanding and then priming.

    Greg's 1/35 Tamiya Universal Carrier

    Hello all, My contribution to this GB will be a Tamiya 1/35 Universal Carrier, along with some Dragon paratrooper figures. I've been meaning to build one of these for a long time, and had saved some reference photos provided by Simon to help with painting and detailing...

    1/72 T-34/76 - "Dismount!"

    Hi all, My latest little scene, featuring a 1/72 scale T34/76 with some tank-riders. The setting is somewhere on the Eastern front. A column of Soviet tanks is making its way along a country track, when one of the infantrymen aboard spots a German position to their left. He points it out to...

    Greg's 1/76 Revell Char B.1 Bis and FT 17 (Matchbox GB)

    Hi all, All finished with this one! Quite a nice kit overall. I wanted to jazz up the base that comes with it, so added a back to the wall, built up some rubble on the inside of the building, and stuck the whole thing on a new terrain. The scene depicts French troops during the 1940 invasion...

    Greg's Revell Char B.1 Bis and FT 17

    Thank you both! The FT has had a lick of paint, and the base is starting to take shape. I've kept the buildings, and my plan is to have the house on the left turned mostly into rubble. The area at the bottom will be grass, and the FT-17 will have been abandoned in either a shell crater or a...
