Neilie Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Excellent models! I assume they are 1/35 scale, but are top notch in any scale. Cheers, Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzkpfw-e Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Fan-bloody-tastic! The crewman peering out of the Panther's hatch, is a work of art all on its own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Being me, I like the Seagull, but it should have a chip hanging out of the mouth to be totally original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper15 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hi Neil Yes , sorry , they are all 1/35, mostly resin kits with the exception of the Panther and the Tilly. I am now working on a Wolf Hardtop with a bagpiper standing on the bonnet taken from a photo in Kuwait in 2003 thank you all for your kind comments :blush: regards Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilie Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hi Brian, I thought they were 1/35 and they are truly works of art, especially the figures. These are amongst the best I have seen anywhere....congratulations on your efforts and welcome to the forum.:bow: Cheers, Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger42 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hello m8, glad you found it here. That will be the Tilly with the PE straps then lol. Now when did you say you were going to do a KFS kit? Seriously m8, only been here a wee while myself and already got a load of info. Off to do some more wiring:nut: Catch up with you later, Barrie. :wave: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I'm not in to model making but those are breathtaking, just so realistic:thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper15 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hi Barrie , how is the Champ coming ? I will do a KFS vehicle soon , I would like to do a Ferret I think , maybe Queens Dragoon Guards in Aden ,Ive built a few of the KFS 1/24 Commercial trucks before , fantastic castings. Thanks again to everyone for their comments regards Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trooper15 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hi Tim , As yet I have not done a CVRT but I have several kits and lots of parts for a few different versions ,Falklands , Sabre etc , one day soon hopefully , It isn't a shortage of kits that is my problem , it is a shortage of time ! I have kits of a Ridgeback , Panther TES ,, Challenger CR2 TES, Saladin , Ferret and several Landies (and thats only the post war UK stuff) , if only i could buy time to do them I would be happy I will post some more photos shortly cheers Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Lovely selection of models. Perhaps you should share some of your weathering techniques in the model section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero-Five-Two Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Cracking models, and such fantastic detail. Think I like the Stolly best, the "Jock" sat in the back with his SLR is superb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper15 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 I just enjoy building vehicles but I'd be happy to answer any weathering questions anyone has , I use mostly acrylic paints for the detail work and oil paints for most of the weathering ,I like to try to do models of factual vehicles from photos that have some history behind them.Do you think anyone would be intertested in a step by step view of the Land rover I'm currently working on ?, I could certainly use the advice on radio fit, interior and engine detail etc. Here are a couple of photos of more heavily weathered vehicles Jpz L70/V 114, 1st SS Pz division Ardennes December 1944, "disc camoflage" Ferdinand tank destroyer 234 , Heavy tank Destroyer unit 653 ,serial number 150100 , Nikopol Bridgehead,Russia ,December 1943 regards Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spood Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Excellent models, and I love the detailing on your crew figures, especialy the faces. I have tried this when I used to make models but could never attain your standard, good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rog8811 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 .Do you think anyone would be intertested in a step by step view of the Land rover I'm currently working on ?, I find it difficult to believe that anyone would not be interested, post away....please!

N.O.S. Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Just seen this thread - wow. I don't know if it is an inspiration for someone like myself, dabbling my feet back into the modelling pool after a lifetime away with only memories of Airfix kits, or a disincentive in that it seems like a standard which must surely be unattainable. I think I should regard it as the standard to aim for, with the proviso that if I make it even 1/4 way to the target I'll be well chuffed. (If I could see evidence of just one partial gluey fingerprint I'd be a bit more optimistic ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpleearth Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 (If I could see evidence of just one partial gluey fingerprint I'd be a bit more optimistic ) Have you seen my models? The models on this thread are amazing and of a standard I could never reach. The faces are fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
