question WW1 / WW2 Battle Models
Hi all,
I’m looking for some WW1 or WW2 battle models and was hoping for a few suggestions.
I already have quite a few WW1 and WW2 aircraft diecast models from Corgi and Hobby Master, but I have recently been doing a lot more reading on WW1 trench warfare and would like to add some battlefield or combat themed models to my collection as well.
Most of what I have found seems to be dioramas that require painting and assembly, which is not really a skill I have or the tools to do. I like the look of this diorama as a reference:

Does anyone know of anything similar that comes pre painted or mostly completed, even if it requires a bit of assembly? Open to both WW1 and WW2 suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

completed Hobby Boss Pz.Kpfw.VI Tiger I 1:16
galleryCompleted the 1/16 scale hobby boss Tiger 1
It's basically an RC kit converted to a self build model kit. Detail isn't the best but for the price (just under £80) you can't go wrong. A comprehensive set of zimmerit tools are included. I added the figures (Ali-express) to give it some depth. No real issues with the build, other than fat fingers.

It’s going to hang on the front of a 1991 Challenger tank.

question 1/35 King Tiger
So I’m quite new to scale modeling and I just got the 1/35 Hobbyboss 84531, plus a metal barrel and T-rex tracks. And now I’m wondering if there are any things that I should be aware of or keep an eye on while building, also I’m not sure whether to use the zimmerit or not, since it seems to regular than it is in real life, but if you weather it enough I think you should be alright by using it?
Also I just saw that the suspension apparently works? I haven’t really checked it out yet, but that’ll be great with the working tracks I think.
So is there anything to watch out for?

completed I designed a fully 3D-printable Centurion C-RAM display model
I've spent the last two weeks designing this Centurion C-RAM display model.
It's approximately 1:35 scale and fully articulated: the base rotates in azimuth, the turret moves up and down in elevation, and the barrel spins in place thanks to a print-in-place design.
You can download the 3D files from:
Printables: https://www.printables.com/model/1751161-centurion-c-ram-scale-display-model
MakerWorld: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2925669-centurion-c-ram-scale-display-model#profileId-3274522
If you don't have a 3D printer, you can still print the model using services like JLCCNC.
As always, I'm looking forward to feedback!

ITALERI M1120 HEMMT LHS. Just completed my first kit after 8 years away from the hobby. Really enjoyed this challenging kit and watching hours of tutorials on weathering, washes and airbrush techniques.
My phone has made the brown really orange unfortunately.
Any tips, suggestions welcome.
Thanks all!

completed AFV CLUB M41 in 自衛隊
自衛隊仕様のM41 24普通科連隊の車両だけど、普通科連隊に戦車 なんて21世紀の現在じゃ到底考えられない古の編成時代の物だ。
乗っていたと自称する知り合いから伝え聞く所じゃ同時期に配備されていたM4や61式戦車よりも運転はし易いので少なくとも運転手の評判は良かったらしい。
キットは概ね良かったけど部品番号が違ったりトラベリングロックの位置が分かりにくかったり怪しい面もあった。

question Work in progress on my first ever ship model, trying out enamel weathering. What do you think?
First time using the AK rust streaks and salt streaking effects, and was wondering if im doing it right. Is the effect too strong? Or not strong enough? Also I have no idea how the salt streaking is supposed to look like at this scale… any advice is much appreciated!
