Hello there! Years ago I built Trumpeter’s 1/35 E-100 Jagdpanzer and to be honest, I was never really happy with it. Last December, I was at a loose end in the studio and wanted a quick turnaround project to keep me occupied over the Christmas holidays. I happened upon this older build and wondered if …
The Pacific campaign of World War II is well documented in book, films, documentaries and models and has always been of interest to me as a subject for scale modelling. After reading 'With the Old Breed by EB Sledge I was in awe of just how gruelling and arduous the Pacific campaign was for the …
I truly enjoy seeing diorama models at a show, or online or in a magazine and I always marvel at the skill and ingenuity of the artists that make them. These wonderful works of art have often inspired me or if I am truly honest, made me quite envious as well! That said, they have …

"On a freezing winter morning a German tank crew wonder what this new day will bring........." There are times when an artist revisits his work and takes a bold step to improve it, purely out of instinct. I built and published a 1/35 Tiger I a couple of years ago but I was never really …
When was the last time I built a subject with no brief whatsoever? To be honest I cannot remember! In between commission projects sometimes its just nice to work on something new with no rules-To build something for the sheer pleasure of it. To that end, I was given Zvesda's 1/35 Kingtiger Ausf. B by …
Hello! This post finds me experimenting with IDF armour, namely the MERKAVA Mk.III battle tank. This project came about when chatting with my friend and fellow modeller Eric. He has been encouraging me to build more armour subjects for a long time now and he knew I liked the design of the IDF Merkava so …
Hello and welcome! If you are a regular follower of this blog you will have seen me working on my diorama of an Easy Eight US Army Sherman tank in the markings of FURY from the film of the same name. This project began in my minds eye a long time ago when visiting a …
