Here is my Tiger I. This is the AFV Club model in 1/35th scale. I've added fruil metal tracks and scratch built a few items such as the turret track holders and i replaced the side skirts with aluminium printers plate and punch and die bolt heads. I painted it in a dark yellow with brown and green camo airbrushed on. This is my first attempt at the 'hairspray' technique and i am very pleased with the outcome. the base is an IKEA picture frame with bits and bobs from the spares box. Crew figures from Verlinden.
A big thank you to Keith for the photography and the photoshop as well.

Nothing of note in the last few days but i am now getting onto the finishing stages of a 1/35th scale (Dragon) Stug III in a faded winter camo scheme, so hopefully i'll have some pics up next week. I've started painting the crew figures and will post some pics of their progress as well. I will be starting a small base for it all to go on and this will also be posted as and when.

Here is a picture of my beloved Land Rover at the War and Peace show 2011, 'T' for Tommy.
First issued to the MOD in 1979 at Colchester barracks, Essex with army number 22 HF 52.
It served with the 3rd Battalion Parachute Regiment. In 1980 it was stationed in Armagh, Northern Ireland. From 1982-1990 it was at Palace barracks, Belfast during operation Banner, where it provided ambulance support.
It remained with the 3rd Battalion until decommissioned in 1992.

The first of many

At last, my own site on the world wide web!
I plan to post my models as i build them and also as a gallery for the ones already built.
i will also add things of interest to me, such as railways, both real and model, military vehicles, land rovers and maybe the odd football picture (if we win that is)
Like anything new, i will be updating as often as i can so bear with me as i find my feet.
Regards,
James
