Very nice, and I agree about the stowage.

Very nice - I particularly like the stowage on the back. The tarp out of Milliput? Very well done.

Yep. I can't figure out how to sculpt it yet but I can make tarps!

This is the last of the 1/56 scale AFVs in my paint queue - a stripped and repainted Italeri Tiger I. This kit is mostly out-of-the-box, except that I added an AA machine-gun mount, MG42, and a metal tank commander from Warlord.

A new camera means no more post-processing! Enjoy my models in all their glory!

Stunning vehicles! The camo scheme on the 250 is brilliant!  :-* How did you achieve that look? With masking tape?

I'm back with some new (old) models, this time a repaint of the Italeri 1/56 scale Panther with anti-air armor I completed several years ago. I was never really happy with the paintjob and weathering I did and decided to give it a new lease on life. Full technique walkthrough and more pics below:
