    Christian's Matchbox 1:32 Auto Union Type D (1939) racing car (product no. PK-312).

    Good morning fellow model consumers and improvers! I went into the tiny sample of original matchbox kits I have bought in 1:32 scale, which matches the railway, and going through them, I found this little baby, which I hope to finish in time for the new year! Sounds easy to achieve, but my...

    Weathering suggestions for next time? ICM 1:35 Panther beobachtungspanzer (artillery observer vehicle).

    Weathering suggestions for next time? ICM 1:35 Panther beobachtungspanzer (artillery observer vehicle). Dear all, This is a kind call for my fellow modellers to provide inspiration on how to add more weathering, or do weathering differently, than what has been done in this case, to use for my...

    Christian's Dragon 6860 1:35 Stug III Wittmann Barbarossa build

    Assembling the next bit, the backend of the hull, was more difficult than it needed to be, since the instructions forced me into trial-and-error mode. However, I managed to piece it together in the end, and I can imagine experienced Dragon stug-builders don't give it much thought as they go...

    Christian's Eduard Bf 109 E-4 Messerschmidt 1:48

    I would like to participate in this GB with my first attempt at an Eduard kit, to be used with the 1:56 Bolt Action miniature wargame. (Unfortunately, currently no active players.) The planes can be used for either strafing runs, dogfights (I think), and mission objectives. I look forward to...

    Christian's Dragon 6860 1:35 Stug III Wittmann Barbarossa build

    Unfortunately, I got the wheel bars wrong. This was not helped by the Dragon instructions being incorrect, in that it shows the outside slot pointing upwards. It should point downwards. This confused me, and so I got this wrong on my first wheel bar construction ever. Hopefully, this will not...

    Christian's Dragon 6860 1:35 Stug III Wittmann Barbarossa build

    Man, this took longer than expected to get started for me! Work priorities, other builds (especially: Hobbyboss 1:35 Brummbär and finishing Dragon Flak 37), and apprehension about the many mods this build requires to original Dragon pieces kept me at bay. Looking through a lot of my other Dragon...

    Christian's Warlord Games/Italeri Bolt Action 1:56 Sd.Kfz. 234/2 "Puma".

    As time has passed, so has the window for this GB, alas. I have had nowhere near enough free time to complete this, but the model is spray painted with Army Painter Desert Yellow, and I have added a few metal scratches with some left over paint pools from weathering a gauge 1 wagon. That's the...

    1:35 Dragon 6287 88mm Flak 37 (build version: 37, transport, extended shield)

    Here are the last pictures for now, taken after spray painting, using Army Painter Desert Yellow. Looking over the model, I think you definitely have to spray in a careful way to avoid paint pools covering up details. Better to do several passes, if you must. As mentioned above, the gun is now...

    1:35 Dragon 6287 88mm Flak 37 (build version: 37, transport, extended shield)

    From the above, I am afraid I just focused on completing the pre-paint build, and did not take pictures of the few remaining steps in between. Below are pictures of the finished pieces - I was pretty proud and happy with this, and still am! At this point, the gun still had elevation...

    1:35 Dragon 6287 88mm Flak 37 (build version: 37, transport, extended shield)

    These next pictures show attaching the chain piece to the wheel set. Now, this part was an example of reality seemingly not matching the instructions, which is otherwise not something which has plagued this Dragon build. The problem was that the plastic holder on the actual piece to hold the...

    1:35 Dragon 6287 88mm Flak 37 (build version: 37, transport, extended shield)

    So, work took over a whole lot during the last six months, and modelling could not be priotised highly, much less posting about it, unfortunately! This update therefore takes quite a huge leap, as I have painted the finished pieces which are now sitting on the modelling/kitchen table for final...

    Christian's Warlord Games/Italeri Bolt Action 1:56 StuG III.

    Welcome to the Warlord Bolt Action wargame StuG III build :-)) This was bought as a 3-piece set, called a "zug", which has 3 StuG kits in their separate bags, as well as a sprue of 6 German "Grenadiers" (late war infantry, apparently so named to boost morale). I will not be doing the soldiers...

    Christian's Warlord Games/Italeri Bolt Action 1:56 Sd.Kfz. 234/2 "Puma".

    The kit is composed of roughly 60 parts, divided into about 50 parts numbers. I believe only one round turret cover part had some flash. Few items had mold lines, maybe 10 pieces including the spring suspension. Filing down on the spring suspension was easy and hassle free in this case. It...

    Christian's Warlord Games/Italeri Bolt Action 1:56 Sd.Kfz. 234/2 "Puma".

    Morning all! One of the few advantages of being a little sick is that you find time to do more hobby-related activities. The disadvantage being, of course, that it's not as enjoyable. Regardless, here is the 1:56 scale build for the "Bolt Action" WWII wargame by Warlord Games. The plastic for...

    1:35 Dragon 6287 88mm Flak 37 (build version: 37, transport, extended shield)

    Going back in time a little bit, I finished the wheels for separate painting (always love when the tires are separate, like Tristar did on I believe all their models - why won't Dragon, Meng, Takom and RFM do that?), as well as the first of two wheel suspensions and covers. The wheel...

    Si & Steve's Animal Antics GB: Oct 2019 - March 2020 Chat thread.

    1:35 Dragon 6287 88mm Flak 37 (build version: 37, transport, extended shield)

    The finished gun itself, awaiting its wheels - this is a beautiful kit, and has been a pleasure to build so far :-)

    1:35 Dragon 6287 88mm Flak 37 (build version: 37, transport, extended shield)

    The support, with lots of details, yet simple to just build up one step at a time - definitely enjoyable to work with.

    1:35 Dragon 6287 88mm Flak 37 (build version: 37, transport, extended shield)

    Lego Dragon ;-) Something I think this company does very consistently is making pieces which fit into each other in one way only, making the risk of error quite low. This is a very simple method, and yet I feel other companies do not practice this the wholehearted way Dragon does it. Weighs up...
