More models!

[KS71owner]

Old thread was old so here's a new one.

Over the last year or so I've been working on models for a 1/35 scale diorama of modern US armor and infantry for some OIF (Operation Iraqi Freedom) dioramas and vignettes. To my delight I finally was able to get hold of some Verlinden and Trumpeter US infantry that are correct in terms of equipment, body armor and weapons to add to the ever-growing pile of projects.

Some of these figures are straight from the box, but many are kitbashed from several sources and nearly all will have some custom work done. I also found ACU pattern decal sheet for 2005 and up uniforms. It takes a ton of work to apply but the results so far have been great.







Each figure takes about 15 -20 hours of work, and I have about 16 of them to build. I'm still working on my other vehicles but I will eventually have a couple Humvees, a Stryker and a couple of M113s as well.

I also finally found the time to finish a kit I bought several years ago on a whim. This is a 1/32 scale Storch observation plane used by Germany in WWII. I painted it in the African campaign camouflage.

Wow! Nice work! Love the Storch!!!!!

I've been collecting models for several years now, cars, ships, tanks, planes............mostly wwII stuff.

Would love to see more of your builds.

Nice projects!


I'll share some of mine.....

I built the Stuka in 1982, I was 13 or 14 at the time. She's very brittle and dusty (hangs from the ceiling in a perpetual dive)

The P-38 I got a Christmas present around 1980........I was way to intimidated to build it at 12 years old!   Around 2005 I started to put it together , everything was still in the box! She also hangs over my head clearing the skies of Zeros and 109's.

I built tons of Balsa's back in the day, Triplanes, Sopwiths, p-47's, p-51's, Spitfires, Hellcats...... and all the famous planes of WWII that they made kits for. These are the only two to survive.

I LOVE that Guillows P38 - I got one from my uncle years ago, but it didn't survive the move.
