Sturmpanzer Brummbar WIP

 I have made some slow progress with the Gasoline conversion of the Sturmpanzer Brummbar around work and study commitments.  I am not happy with the dirt streaks on the side of the superstructure and will have a crack at toning them down a bit.  Still a little more touching up required with the figure as well.

Kettenkrad with PaK 36 Finished

I have finally finished my little dio of a kettenkrad with a PaK 36. The Kettenkrad is by Tamiya, the PaK 36 is a Gaso.Line resing model and the figure is by Total War Miniatures.

1/48 Tamiya Kettenkrad with Gas-O-Line PaK 36

Putting together these two little kits while I build up enough enthusiasm to tackle the rest of the etched brass on my Tiger II. I will include one of the excellent Total War Miniatures figures of HG division trop infantry in a small vignette.

Greif Finished

Finished Greif off ages ago, but didn't quite get around to posting pic of the model on its base.

Rats Vs Foxes GB Panzer III Ausf L Finished at Last

Panzer III Ready for Paint

Panzer III crew

I still have quit a bit of work to do on the crew commander. I have forced the shadows on the lower half of the commander and gunner as these parts will be inside the vehicle when the figures are set in place.

Panzer III Ausf L 10th Panzer Division Rats Vs Foxes GB

I am building this for the Rats Vs Foxes group build at Missing Lynx. I am hoping to get it finished around my uni study.

Tamiya Panzer III Ausf L; Hauler etched brass; Gasoline turret and figures (not pictured); WWII Productions tracks and RB Armour Scale turned aluminium barrel.

1/48th scale Rommel

Working on Rommel to place in a small vignette with Greif. The Tamiya figure is only 5'3" tall, so I have added some styrene shims at his waist and boot tops to bring him up to a more reasonable scale height.

Greif Finished

I can't bring myself to do any more work on this for the moment. I will put a small vignette together at some point in the furure.

Hanomag 250/3 Progress

Made some progress with Greif this weekend.

250/3 Funk

1/48 Tamia 250/3. Working on this one for the Missing Lynx Hanomania Group Build. Managed to get some paint onto the model despite the hot weather in Melbs.

ISU 152 BSMC Fast Build

I didn't get the model finished in time for the BSMC Fast Build Comp. Here are some pics anyway.

1/285 Panther G

Work in progress. Tracks, details and weathering still to be completed. Flash on the barrel looks bad in the pic, but the whole model isn,t much longer then 10mm, so it is hard to see in scale.

Maus 1/144 dragon

M4A3 Finished

Finishe at last...

US Tank Crewman

An Elheim/TQD Castings figure purchased on-line from Battlescape. The set contained 5 relaxing WWII US Tankers in standing poses. I found that all of the figures were too short to be considered 1/72 scale and were awkwardly proportioned having legs that appeard to me to be too short. The figure above has been put through some surgery to have his legs lengthened by approximately 1 mm which is marginally annoying, but not a significant problem.

Given the difficulty in sourcing nicely sculped tank crewman in 1/72 scale in Australia I would have to say that the figures are good. It is a pity that Eureka Miniatures no longer manufacture the AB 1/76 scale figures under liscence.

M4 A3 More Progress

Getting closer to being finished...
