Panzer Kampfwagen IV AusfD





I've added some stowage on the rear, including 75mm shells, spare track and tarps. I've also added some shurzen - side armour plates.

M41 Walker Bulldog




An M41 Walker Bulldog. This one with extra stowage and weathering. Not quite finished (wheels too clean) but I've reached that "let's move on " stage.

M3 Stuart (American)




M3 Stuart (Canadian)





The M3 Stuart kit made up as Canadian, extra stowage, fuel drum and customised additional side armour.

Panther tank



And here's the finished model!

Farmyard









I made this 1/35 scale farmyard diorama from scratch for a Panther tank scene.  The walls are plaster of Paris, the gates are made from McDonalds stirring sticks, the cobbles are lentils!  It was great fun to make, and I enjoyed adding the small details of the ruined cart, milk churn, barrels and the cat!

Churchill







This 1/35 scale Churchill tank has been set in a French street scene.  Two German soldiers surrendering, a French farmer offers the liberating troops some wine, whilst a soldier gets his daughter's address!

The tank was made "as is" with very little of my usual additions apart from some weathering and a little damage.  It was more of the scene I wanted to capture with this one.
