Some more of my stuff and modifications.


  • Thanks for input. None of my metallics really fit. Remembered I have a Vallejo gunmetal blue to late.

    In back is a sanded down B-17 I was using for testing that didn’t turn out to bad either. Dress it up as a Russian copy Tu-4.


  • Finally a Jagdpanther! I guess 3rd time is a charm.

    First 2 attempts were with the current Panther hull, couldn’t get the symmetry right.
    Went back to the first gen. panther for this one. The hull being a bit longer and the lack of skirts might help.
    Also, I think I’ve found a good cannon barrel replacement material. This is the bamboo core from an incense stick.
    Stay safe.


  • @Mr-Kell

    Nice ! Can you light the incense to give it a smoking barrel look ? : )


  • @barnee
    HaHa
    I love the smell of sandalwood in the morning!


  • Been bringing my artillery and AA pieces up to current appearance standards. Got bored with that assembly line work, made these.
    Have a heavy transport house tech. rule, normally a small tape flag on aft mast is now this.20200502_084414~2.jpg


  • Since I had the U.S. naval colors out, I pushed through with the Lexington rebuild.
    Here’s the previous look.

    Reused everything but the rear structure, boosting the fwd. island about 1.5mm. Rear section fabricated with styrene stock.

    Think I might have gone a little to big? Still 100% better. That’s what I get for trying to use the rear of a classic tank turret the first time.
    Stay safe all.


  • Greetings.
    Has it been a rough few months or what? Hope everyone’s doing well.
    Since my set has been trapped in a buddies basement since last summer, I haven’t been able to work on or get pics of what has been finished.
    I have been dipping into HBG’s 3d printed selection, picking up a set of Crusaders; a Nelson; an Eagle CV; some Iowas and the Graf Spee.

    Still not 100% sure about my Royal Navy color palette, but they should be close.
    I also liked the Indiana enough to put her in with Missouri.
    Oh I found a WIP of some US. dudes.

    Stay safe.


  • Greetings.
    Just a few more things I’ve been keeping busy with.
    20210525_071225~2.jpg
    Fuso from HBG.
    20210524_104651~2.jpg
    With some AFV examples from IWNGU.
    Stay safe.


  • Greetings all:
    Happy days (maybe) everyone in the group’s been jabbed, and there’s been talk of resuming gaming. I’m hopeful. Anyway, here’s a few new pieces they’re going to see…

    Some injection molded Pzkfw VI b.

    A replacement Sharnhorst.
    20211002_031151_resized.jpg
    and Gneisenau.
    20211002_032015.jpg
    And the last I have finished, USS Colorado.
    I removed the radar from Sharnhorst as a nod to his last sortie. Our cat donated a whisker for Gneisenau’s mast. In hindsight, I should have removed the cranes from the German ships then reinstalled them in a better position after painting.

    That’s it for now. Stay safe.


  • This post is deleted!

  • A few more things I’ve been finishing.20220414_103920.jpg Some Corsairs, 262, La-5, Pe-2, Do17 and some Sherman’s. All printed except the Russian fighters.
    May have gone a little overboard on "Little Miss Mischief ", for a game piece.
    Stay safe.


  • @mr-kell I’m loving these! That B-17 is the star of the show.


  • @mr-kell

    It all looks super cool. Just like opening up a World War II History Book.

    Have you ever used the Tank & Vehicle 1:285 Scale Models from GHQ Models?

    From where do you buy the air units ?


  • Greetings and thanks.
    @DMcLaren
    Yeah the details on that B17 were pretty freakin good. I just settled on the subject, put my head down and let the print tell me what was possible. By the time a voice in my head went “STOP!” and I looked back up. I had already grabbed 700 scale props and was harvesting bristles from a vacuum attachment for gun barrels.
    @The-Captain
    Quite a bit of research definitely helps a project like this. Fortunately I have full bookshelves. My universal carriers did come from Ghq, as they were the only ones I could find at the time. Would have liked to get more from them, but couldn’t afford to. Other than those, a few units from I will never grow up, an Fw200 & He177 in 700 scale from Pit Road and some fabricated facilities, everything is from, or a modification of pieces from various A&A sets and Hbg. Sometimes my skills were up to the task. You did great work as well.
    Oops, forgot about the type VII & IX U-boats from shapeways.
    Stay safe.


  • Greetings all.
    A few of my latest paint glops for the Regia Aeronautica. 20220728_093203.jpg
    All are Hbg 3D prints, with Ba-65 taking tactical duties, letting Sm-79 be bombers again.
    Take care.


  • @mr-kell
    Awesome:muscle:

    Perfect details.

    Where do you buy the aircrafts? Are they made of plastic or pewter?


  • @the-captain
    Sorry, sometimes I forget we’re all not on the same continent.
    Got them from company here in the U.S. called Historical Boad Gaming.
    They’re 3D prints, not sure what the resin is. It’s a bit brittle, but can be shaped and responds well to CA adhesives.
