Academy Panther G

Introduction (This kit was done for an Armorama review in September 2019)The Ausf G was the last production version of the Panther. Production began around March 1944 until April 1945, with about 3885 produced making it the most numerous of the Panthers. This particular kit depicts the final production model, with a number of features… Continue reading Academy Panther G

Miniart M3 Lee Late

 I found inspiration to do another M3 Lee for the Sgt. Prouty Santa Claus vignette. Earlier I tried to do the scene with the Takom M3 Lee Late, got pretty far with it but the kit really left a lot to be desired and the project was suspended. The MiniArt M3 Lee Late (35214) has… Continue reading Miniart M3 Lee Late

Border Model Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.F1

This was originally my build thread in Track-link running from 12/19/2019 to 1/28/2020. With the success of their Panzer IV Ausf G., Border Model released the first variant F1. This is a 3-in-1 kit, allowing modelers to build one of the Vorpanzers, Schürzen and regular variants. I primarily chose this for Vorpanzer since Dragon’s kit… Continue reading Border Model Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.F1

Review: Sd.Kfz.142 StuG.III Ausf.B + Sd.Kfz.252 mit Sd.Ah.32/1 Trailer (Dragon 6919x)

And now for something completely different – M1114 Up Armored HA Tractical Vehicle from Bronco

Everytime I go into a Macross building frenzy, I ended up wanting to build more non-scifi models, i.e. armor and planes, most likely due to the lure of details. I built some tanks when I was young, but I think I really have an affinity for them even after all the gunpla.I actually have an… Continue reading And now for something completely different – M1114 Up Armored HA Tractical Vehicle from Bronco

Model Legend Gundam Altron/Nataku Glory of Losers resin conversion kit

I have been loving the Glory of Losers rendition of the Gundams. They had created enhanced versions of the first versions of the Gundams, such as the Heavyarms Igel, and   Sandrock Armadillo, with practical but slightly over-the-top additions. I’ve done the Igel since I loved it so much, and it was the first kit I’ve gotten… Continue reading Model Legend Gundam Altron/Nataku Glory of Losers resin conversion kit
