With Uboats stiill in play, as well as my Brumbars and Panzer3's to finish, i have been bittern by post WW2 Russian armour, mainly due to tracking the progress of the Ukraine War. The images of Russian armour used on both sides, captured, blown up, worn out or waiting for combat, has grabbed me...

At last someone has done this other than Tamiya(which is really hard to get now) - can't wait. A weird and cool T-55 variant that saw action in the Gulf.

U-218 1945 I thought I would highlight some unique details associated with U-218, the only surviving Type 7D to make it to surrender in 1945. As a model builder this is a very interesting subject to build via modifying the 1/72 Revell Kit AND IS ON MY BUILD LIST. 1941 - IN ITS ORIGINAL...

I tried to find the previous thread on this but was out of luck so started a new one. So this is for everyone to post on but if someone knows where the original thread is please help me out and I can get this new one deleted. Added some more art to my already busy workshop walls and a couple out...

I had an urge to do one of the late war Brummbars, as I have never built one and after recieving my book from Panzerwrecks on Abtielung 217 the cover photo had me down for a quick single vehicle dio! Well, that was how it all started and then I went down the 'rabbit hole' and has now turned...

Another image that had me running around chasing info are these very dramatic photographs of a Mk9C/40 and a Mk21 damaged and lying in dry-dock together at Kiel in April 1945, after the British bombed the Deutshe Werke Naval yards. So mant opportunities for detail..........:hmm: U-1227 (TYPE...

HiGuys , back again with more models.......I didn't feel that I had enough going on :blink. I have decided to build my 2 Razorcrest models using the small Bandai model (about 1/350th I think) to test the paint job for its larger big brother from Revell at 1/72. The Bandai kit is the ltd edition...

Well I found another really interesting U-Boat ......again, and I have to build it! I found out about this unique boat when reading the new Type 9 U-boat study from AMP/ Dougie Martindale and it immediately captured my imagination. A very early style type 9 Hull (the first in fact) still...

This little dio started as just a cross-kit of a number of early Dragon Stug 3 kits that had turned into spare left overs but enough to mix'n graft into an early Stug 3C in East Prussia in about March 1945. It was loosely based on the photo below, which is quite well known, Dragon basing a later...

The image below is a classic and immediately recognisable as the capture of U-505 on the 4th June 1944, near Cape Verde - 10 volcanic Islands off the West coast of Northern Africa. BACKGROUND The action above came about when the 'Hunter-Killer' group, Task Group 22.3, led by the USS...

I have been doing further research looking into the surrender boats at Lisahally in Northern Ireland. I also read a book on their surrender to fully understand the order of the boats that came in, when they moved and how, from Loch Eriboll to Loch Alsh, then on to Lisahally. This happened over a...

My second build for this forum being a 'frankenstein' panzer 3, (made up of many Mk3 parts) destroyed in the battles around Hungary in 1945. The caption below the photo describes the bits and bobs from various versions, so all I can show are a Stug B, Stug D and the spares from my Panzer 3...

This Mk3D is a really interesting subject as its a photograph from Germany in April 1945, taken by 7th army signal corps photographer on the way to the Rhine. The actual vehicle is one of only 30 produced in early 1938 being re-purposed as a defensive weapon by Pz.Ersatz-und...

Dragon armour kits have nearly doubled in price down here in the land of Oz($ from here on in AUD). About 10 years ago they were between $40-55. Then they went to $60.00, then $70.00 about 4 years ago. Now they are $110-$125. A RFM kit with a full interior is about $95 - $110, and looks exactly...

PANZER 3 - DEVELOPMENT HISTORY, INTERESTING ODDITIES AND MODEL STUFF As the title suggests this will be a post on the German Panzer 3 and its myriad of development changes from the 'cradle to the grave'. This all started for me during December and is the reason for my abscence of late. During my...

So the base for this scene was basically 80% finished but I wanted to update it further and show you the transition. Initially this was a base that I had already constructed and painted in 2010, with the building and some of the ground work nearly completed. I decided to give the building an...

Hi all, a friend of mine shared this very nice Hunting Tiger ref photo of Pz. Regt 653 in the 1945. The big deal here is that it is in original color not colored lately with PS. Thats what I have been told and there are a few areas in the photo that look very original color wise and quite...

Mk21 Elektro Boat, Late War - RC SUBS 3D printed model kit. 1/72 1945 Mk21 U- 2540 This will be my 21st build for this series, with the model on a simple stand with some figures on the CT for scale. The photo above shows a different Type XXI (U-3514) but displays all the same features present on...

Something I have had on the 'Real Bench' for some time and my Masters section. I decided I should finish it and putting it up here should help that to come about. Its less than 50% done, its a fully tracked vehicle (they have just been removed thats all:devil:). I don't think this will be...
