Some freshly completed/photographed stuff. First, a Zvezda Pz IV H., great model, however commander's hatch is moulded shut. Replaced it with a Revell cupola, and added an SHQ commander.



Next, a First to Fight Pz 35(t).



And finally, a German sniper team, minis from Caesar.

I forgot to post in this blog for a while now, but here's a completed Trumpeter Easy Eight with S&S stowage, and a crappy Hasegawa commander that'll be probably replaced in the future.

Nicely done. Will you also base this tank?

Thanks! Yes, I will, but I need to cut a base for it.

I'll eventually replace the lost pics...or idk, delete the whole thread, upload them to somewhere that doesn't change their bloody URLs like it was underwear.

But anyway...

A bit of an off-topic like the WW1 Russkies, but I've dabbled into 15mm too, and finished these PSC Shermans recently.

A tiny Matchbox Pz II F, without the basing. Got it as part of a lot, I had to fill some parts, and the tracks were extremely brittle (they broke on 2-3 points), but in the end, it looks nice I think. Or at least I'm happy with it, and it's my first DAK vehicle.

Right! I managed to figure out how to take good pictures with my phone, the only thing I needed was a big ass lamp :D Finished Matchbox Pz II Ausf. F, a cute little vehicle.

Well, now you'll enjoy a lot of reposts with better pictures of my works...I'll re-photograph my entire display cabinet!

This setup works nicely I'd say.

I gave in to the hype and tried AK's Real Colors...first try, Faded Olive Drab, so far I'm enjoying it - tho the thinner smells quite badly  :?

And now for something completely different - I've built IBG's Type 89, a really excellent kit with the best link and length tracks I've built so far.
