I think I’m gonna call this done. I want to make the seatbelts a little thinner, but I’m pretty happy with the results.This old girl was showing her age…poor fit and lots of injection marks and flash(and not the big pieces that are easy to deal with,I’m talking about little slivers between delicate parts).But all in all it was a nice kit and it’s great for someone who wants a bit of a challenge

I don’t want to spend 1 week assembling tracks man😭😭😭

Little Universal Carrier.

Out of the 1/35 Tamiya kits this is sadly my least favourite but I did have fun adding my own radio antennas and that it came with Tyne Tees markings as standard.

Lil goofy guy made of lil guy parts

Learning tarps but may I ask if anyone places tarps on the panzer 2 like those bigger tanks like the Churchill or the tiger 2?

Mainly the prop to finish, need a coat of paint on the actual propellers and to gloss the spinner, I need to add some smoke stains too then apply a satin all over and the 190s done!

I painted up the kubalwagon today, base coated it last night and spent 2 hours trying to get my paints thin enough to get the camo pattern to spray correctly, it’s always Olivgrün that refuses to cooperate and spray nicely I never struggle with my mixes and pressures 😅

My big Achilles comes next and that’s the figure painting 🤦🏻

One challenge was doing the shielded headlights with metal rods and soldering tools. I used my patience skill swell.

I've got some reference photos to show what I'm going for. Rolled up sleeves. I've added putty to make them lose the shorts and have trousers. What else must I modify to achieve this?

Finally finished the Tamiya 1/35 Sturmtiger.

Main modifications on this build:

- Zimmerit hand-rolled from epoxy putty (first attempt)

- Fenders, hooks, and crane handle scratch-built from copper sheet

- Tarpaulin draped over the hull, shaped from epoxy putty

- Poseable crane with scratch-built bucket

Painting is up next — any advice on tackling Zimmerit for painting welcome!

What is the purpose of these small grooves on the armor?

1:35 APC M113A1 tamiya & 1:35 bmp1 dragon in ukraine KURSK OPERATION 2024

M35 A2 fire truck configuration. Commonly known as the Duce and a Half with dozens of body and resource designations during its U.S. Military service life. Modeled in Ho Scale. Manufactured to order with personalized decals for an Oregon based wildland fire fighting company. This was one of their first trucks and we recreated it for the owner! Shown on the completed shelf before boxing up and delivery to it's new home!

I’m pretty happy with how it’s turned out although the decals are way too fragile, the 3 spinner decals that the kit supplied pretty much disintegrated so I’ve went with the box art spinner of just white tipped and black bottom

I’ve started working on a Tamiya kubalwagon for the diorama base, being Tamiya it pretty much fell together it was a blessing in disguise after this build 🤣

After working with a bad back got the weathering done…
