    Tamed Panther: “Cuckoo”

    With the models I want to finish before starting something new mostly done, I think I can safely start a thread about my next model :) This will be a Panzerkampfwagen Panther Ausführung G of 6 Guards Tank Brigade — the specific tank better known as Cuckoo. Yes, a British Panther :) Here’s a...

    Meng HMS HOOD toon

    Got all fired up watching the group build, so picked up my first ship! Not serious enough to float with those others, but should be fun. Parts are on sprues, so thank goodness for precision cutters to clean up the cuts after rough cutting! Press fit, gluing some seams because I'm thinking of...

    15 CWT truck

    ... can't sleep, too many thoughts running round my brain! Here is another one from the display case, built in May 2018. There aren't many build photos, and the camo is quite likely fanciful - I wanted to try two things, the pattern that was used in Tunisia on some trucks, not long before the...

    Mirror Models Morris C8 Quad Mkll

    Early 2023 build, first time Mirror kit. PE from LZ Models. Instruction drawings pretty easy to follow. Fit good, not always a clear reference location. I certainly like LZs catalogue, many British and CMP, LRDG trucks and accessories from MIrror and Thunder Models. ... like the stuff I've...

    Universal Carrier, Mk2 Tamiya

    Probably everyone has built one of these, by Tamiya. I thought I'd give it a try, had just finished reading about the Kasserine Pass debacle, and of the combined forces 'minding the gate' Not too many photos in 2016 when I built it, but I had started being more diligent about pics that I would...

    Morris Light Recce Mk-1

    I know, I keep going on about being on an Italian fling, but giving those figures a rest over the holidays. Here is the photo record of another resin kit build in 2019, this time from Accurate Armour. Though simple, (the body was in one nicely sculpted piece of resin), I had fun building it...

    Austin Light Utility Car - 10 HP Tilly

    In the Thread 'How to create an album' https://www.scalemodeladdict.com/threads/how-to-create-an-album.16156/, Jakko surmised that " IMHO, images attached to messages are much more useful than in albums"! Well that was Dec 19th, I figured it out, and there has been no reaction to the album! So...

    Morris CS8 in Palestine

    ... while reading up on the SAS and LRDG, I came across references to training in Lebanon, and that started me digging. I hadn't ever looked into the interwar period, after T.E. Lawrence had made his spectacular appearance in the mid east. Low and behold, I trip on some photos of the Black Watch...

    BSA courier

    ... give you all a break from my current Italian obsession! This is from my 'pre-weathering' and 'retirement' days, a little project fit into a very busy work and homelife! Must have been exhilarating, if not terrifying to zoom along the few, and completely exposed 'mettled' roads in Libya...
