My armored attempts...lots of pics!

[Jeeves]

Well-- I figured I ought to put up or shut up-- so here are some of my finished pieces in 1/48...in no real order--

Hobbyboss KV-1 OOB...

This one is actually part of the Revell B-24D Liberator kit-- but I did some scratch building on this Cletrac to make it look a bit better...

AFV Club Sturmtiger with Hauler shells...

Tamiya's King Tiger and my attempt at handmade Zimm...

Tamiya's Hetzer...

Another Tamiya (see a trend?)-- Marder III

Tamiya Sherman with Verlinden stowage and Cullen hedgerow cutter-

Tamiya KV-2...

And finally something 1/35...Tamiya's Churchill Crocodile...

Oh...and while not technically armor, I have something for Jenny in AAA... Tamiya's Opel Blitz with Verlinden's Flak 38--

Guess that is it...hopefully that'll rectify my situation of being a flyboy

Nothing wrong with fly boys Those were only ground targets. They are good looking ground targets though.

Wow... hmy:

... those are some mighty cool "ground targets" as phantom II was saying! :laugh: On a more serious note, all are great builds

, but ya just have to love the look on that Churchill Crocodile and the Opel truck with the flak 38 on it! At least I do!

Very nice work Jeeves! I forgot to say that I'm also a big fan of Russian armour: they look tough and mean :angry: ... don't they?!?

Congrats buddy! Oh... and please keep on treating us with these beauties of yours!

Cheers!

Thanks guys! I'll have to gather some winged things and put up some pics in the other section. Working on AFV Club's Churchill right at present...

Jeeves lookin good bud. I can see that are not shy about trying new things with your builds

that will make you a dangerous man indeed ........ keep getinit.

Biathlon modeler? Let's see you end as a Pentathlon!

1. Aircraft
2. Armor
3. Civilian vehicles
4. Figures
5. Maritime (ships, subs, things that may sink)

Jenny and Laura, no disrespect meant by the order since Aircraft DOES come before armor alphabetically!
:evil:

Regards,

modelguru--

True that I am not afraid...I am not always successful...but not to try is not in my nature. And like I said in my post over in Jenny's Friends, I always look forward to learning and experimenting...keeps things interesting Thanks for looking!

Brother Saul-- I can oblige you on #3 with a couple--

My brother-in-law Dan is a big-wig for Pfizer and was really a big fan of Mark Martin when he drove the Pfizer car-- so I did this for him-

And I built this one for my wife-- her grandfather was a lumberjack and used this old Willy's Jeep that we are looking to restore-- he died and I wanted to give her something to remember him by. I took the old Hasegawa 1/24 Jeep and changed it to what he had used-- complete with his homemade plywood "cab" I scratched from balsa and some scale firewood on the ground and inside...

As far as figures-- other than the Miniart Commonwealth Crew I am about to start for the Churchill, there are none in the stash... yet! And for #5-- I just finished Eugene Fluckey's Thunder Below and am thinking of picking up Trumpeter's 1/144 Gato to try my hand at the USS Barb...so maybe someday

Nice examples here. You are a brave soul building in such a small scale. B)

 

[Jeeves]

Thanks Animal!

Never gave 1/72 a try-- but considering how small 1/48 is, well...I know why now

 

[shawngehling]

Jeeves,
Great job, I just wonder how you find the time to build models
with everyone asking you questions... hmy:
Sorry, I couldn't help myself...
I know, off to the naughty corner for me again... :laugh:
Great job on the small stuff... You are braver than I, I used
to do some 1/72 and 1/76th and the old Bandi 1/48th stuff, but
I just can't see it as well anymore (yup I'm old)...
Love the Soviet stuff... Always have, always will.
Thanks for sharing
Shawn

 

[Jeeves]

Thanks for looking Shawn!

These were all already completed builds I haven't been doing too much building this week as I just started up the new school year of teaching and need to relocate my rhythm. I have summers off which is when I do most of my building...and I use modeling to blow off steam during the regular school year...
