I'm not sure if I ever shared these old works (either here or the old TnT), if I did I sincerely apologise for taking up bandwidth :laugh:
I try to do at least one new thing (be it a technique, genre, material, etc) per build... I tried unsuccessfully to embed the galleries as slideshows, so I'll just post the one pic and a link to the full gallery...

Full gallery: MkA "Whippet" WWI Medium Tank
Completed in May 2006, this was my first serious attempt at building an armoured vehicle model. There were many firsts here for me: the use of "pre-shading"; photo-etch (albeit simply pistol ports and grab-handles); spraying acrylics; and weathering. The Airwaves photo-etch set was used for minor detailing, and the model was finished using a variety of paints including Acrylicos Vallejo Model Air, Tamiya, and artist oils. Weathering was done using mist coats of the aforementioned paints and Mig pigments.
I'm fairly certain I shared 2 Warhammer 40K pieces before, but if there's interest I'll repost.
Sadly I haven't finished much since
