Hi all

For those of you already familiar with my 'work' apologies for subjecting you to it again......
:-[


Below is a selection of my better attempts since I started back - not that they're anything special!! These are a few years old now. Brush painted and 'weathering' was limited to some heavy 'washes' of dark earth and black - not that I really knew what I was doing at the time!! :fearful:

For a variety of reasons I've not finished much in the past couple of years - mostly a house move and lots of work to do (and money to spend) on doing it up but I have just finished one I will share separately.

As usual all comments welcome - just remember these are often joint efforts between me and my son (aka 'Junior' for forum purposes) for out battles.

Andrew

Very nice indeed Andrew. A cracking finish on such a small scale. Great stuff.

Andrew,
at the small scales, it's easy to overdo the weathering, but I think you've got it right. I'd be very happy with your output!

Hi mate, nice looking kit. Is this PSC stuff? If so, try the SKDFZ 250 and Universal carrier kits, they turn out lovely....

Thanks Dave, I was pleased at the time and they still look ok now but as always I'm my own worst enemy!!

Thank you Tim. I actually have one of there 250s partially completed. It came as s freebie with another order. As for the UCs I just don't have the space in the cupboard.

I like PSC a lot and it probably accounts for over half of what I have. We also have quite a bit of Armourfast too.

Thanks again for stopping by.

Andrew

Lots of good work there, mate

Thanks Peter. What you can't see is the stuff that didn't turn out so great!

Hi Si

They are from the Plastic Soldier Company. The AVRE with bridge has an AM kit from S&S Models added.

Hi Andy, the more time you spend on this forum the better your skills will become. I have learned from every modeler on here and have benefited greatly. I'm sure you and Jr. Will too. Your efforts so far are excellent. Cheers Rick H.

Neat selection of tanks and half-tracks you’ve got there Andrew, nothing wrong with them.
Given the scale I’d be happy to get that result too:thumb2:.
