    AFV Club FV101 Scorpion

    AFV Club 1:35 FV101 Scorpion - built pretty much OOB with some homemade stowage. Nice kit to accompany my earlier Scimitar. A quick build so I didn't go down the aftermarket tracks or updates route.

    3D printed Eager Beaver EOD model (1:35)

    Eager Beaver EOD with early model "wheelbarrow" - this is the armoured cab / remote control version. The actual cab is a bit of a guesswork as I've only found 3 different photos to base it on - one below. The wheelbarrow is based on the one at the RLC museum at Worthy Down and is a...

    Zvezda 1:35 Sd.Kfz. 184 "Ferdinand"

    Straight box build - not a bad kit - no fit issues - Link & Length tracks much better than some other manufacturers' efforts.

    1:35 Scale 3D printed Eager Beaver

    Redesigned the 1:76 version from scratch after visiting the Royal Logistics Corps museum at Worthy Down and taking numerous photos of the original there. Improvements include a correct design for the lift tower and a skeletal framework for the chassis. The wheels have been redesigned to better...

    Airborne's Falklands GB candidate - Sgt Mather MM

    same figure - I didn't use the included base as it didn't feel right - I use a piece of slate as the basis.

    Airborne's Falklands GB candidate - Sgt Mather MM

    I had the same issue with the rifle - in my case the barrel had snapped off so I replaced it with some brass.

    Eager Beaver forklift in 1/76th scale

    I needed a couple of Eager Beaver forklifts for a Falklands conflict diorama and couldn't find anything suitable on offer so I decided to try my hand at designing from scratch & 3D printing. OK, so they may not be totally accurate as I only had photos to go on and no dimensions, but at 1/76th...

    Zvezda 1:35 URAL 4320 Truck

    Finished for the Russian/Afghan conflict - built OOB with largely self designed 3D printed stowage and a ZPU-1 from MENG. Figures for scale.

    Asuka 1/36 Sherman IC Firefly

    Asuka 1:35 Sherman IC Firefly - built out of the box except for the crew which are from the MiniArt Brish tank crew in winter uniforms. Quite impressed with the kit overall - good fit and seems fairly accurate. Lots of left overs including a complete set of wheels.

    AFV Club Scimitar CVR/T - backdated to Falklands Era

    Hi - I completely forgot that I started a build post for this ages ago - this is the AFV Club Scimitar CVR/T backdated to Falklands spec with some SMM parts and scratch build - the crew are from Accurate Armour . This is the finished article - awaiting a suitable base (and appropriate...

    Tamiya 1:35 Marder III

    Nice kit - started out using the Eduard PE set but ran out of patience with the tiny PE parts!

    Tamiya 1:48 T34-85 - "Stompie"

    Built for a club competition with a theme of "Blue Moon" while house-sitting for my daughter & son-in-law. Straight box build as I had a very limited set of tools - a really nice little kit. And the inspiration:-

    Italeri Crusader Mk II (1:35)

    Straight box build apart from adding the missing side rail and some stowage. Not a bad kit at least it looks like a Crusader - not sure why they made the suspension so complicated when it is completely hidden.

    Hobby Boss 1:35 Leopard 2A6M CAN

    I use a folding light box similar to the one below - it is about a 60cm cube when assembled and has two adjustable brightness LED lighting strips - mine was from an Amazon seller. The camera is a DSLR on a tripod - I use aperture priority with a small aperture so the exposure is quite long...

    AFV Club FV107 Scimitar CVR/T Falklands era

    Decided to fill in some time by doing the crew (Accurate Armour) figures... Dunno if I've done them justice - the close ups pick out every little error!

    AFV Club FV107 Scimitar CVR/T Falklands era

    Opened the replacement "early" suspension and stalled ... one piece missing and one piece duplicated - I emailed Michael at SMM and he's sending me a replacement (excellent service)

    AFV Club FV107 Scimitar CVR/T Falklands era

    First I had to replace the hinged transmission cover with the SMM bolted version

    AFV Club FV107 Scimitar CVR/T Falklands era

    Finally made a start on this as part of a club "Falklands 40" build thread. AFV Club Scimitar - the kit is for a late (Bosnia/Gulf) era vehicle but I'm using SMM resin and Fruil tracks to backdate to a Falklands era vehicle:
