I had a long fascination with weathered vehicles, though I did not pick it up again until 2017. I subscribe to Rinaldi’s school of “follow the reference” in my modeling.

Hi Cody,
I really like your work.
I’m currently building a Dragon StuG Ausf E. I want to construct a fence-type thing on the back for stowage, like what you have here with your Ausf A. Can you tell me a little more about how you built it? I don’t have a lot of experience with scratchbuilding.
Thanks a lot.
Nathan.
Hi, I noticed the photos of your earlier models are no longer available for viewing. Is there a way to see your full gallery? Thank you.
