    AFV M109A2 Doher Or how to Overcomplicate a Model!

    OK one last bit regarding detail. If you’ve built an AFV kit you know that the plastic is fairly brittle, especially when you consider the small size of the parts shown. Again there is a grain of rice as comparison and the final installed part. The detail is fantastic but as stated it comes as a...

    AFV M109A2 Doher Or how to Overcomplicate a Model!

    So now for an AFV rant. This kit has multiple sprues with the same Letter-Number!!! There are THREE separate letter series with this issue so wow do you ever spend a crap ton of time shifting thru sprues!

    AFV M109A2 Doher Or how to Overcomplicate a Model!

One pic shows the hatch with only one hinge installed, then the hinge part along with a grain of rice, followed by how It...

    A different little project

    So I took a little time whip out a bottle holder from scrap bits of styrene tube and some plastic sheet/card. Bottom need to be completely glued but it worked well once complete. Eve some spots for toothpick and pins!

    So I did not know that my ugly ass block carved from foam as a bottle holder was dangerous when you spill adhesive on it. Something about fumes?

    Cold War Russian soldier question

    So I’d like to find some 1/35 figures from the Czech Invasion of 1968, like in the attached pics. Can I use WW2 tank riders and just update equipment and maybe use different (non-helmet) heads?

    Tamiya Jagdpanzer IV L/70

    Wow what a GREAT KIT!!! Tamiya (as always) did a fantastic job of creating this. The trees are simple and easy, and follow the instructions/build sequence in a manner that just makes for simple logical sense. Goes together quick too. This is where I am at aboot (as u Canadians say) 3 hours in...

    AFV M109A2 Doher Or how to Overcomplicate a Model!

    Well this is where it currently sits. The Barrel Cradle and the rear spades are complete yet separate till I paint. The white on some of the wheels is Tamiya putty, as the tire part of the road wheels are two Pieces! Also worth mentioning are the tracks. Those are the kit bands. The separate...
