Seeing as i am new here, i thought i would post some pics of my mostrecent armour builds. Hereare 3allcompleted this year, all in 35th ofcourse.
Dragons Sd.Kfz. 251/6 Ausf C with the addition of an Eduard PE set. This was my first Pz Grey scheme and so required to try out a few new things for weathering. I was very pleasedwith the finaldusty apperance. Thye figures area mix of Dragon and Tristar.
Italeri's Panzerwerfer 42 had been in the stash about 20 years. It was improved with a RoyalModels Resin and PE set and some Fruil tracks. The figures are also from Royal Modles.
And this beast was finished a couple of weeks ago. Trumnpeters E-100 jagd Pz is my first Trump kit and biggest 35th build to date. It was also my first properurbandio and i spent more time on the base than i did the vehicle.
The building and base are all from Great North Roads. It needed 3 sections of plaster cobelstones and it's damn heavy.
Thanks for looking, all comments are very welcome.

Thanks for the comments and the welcome.
Dave, I have been putting more effort into the bases the last couple of years as I have got more comfortable with the finish of the vehicles. I still need to work more on my figures though.

Wow! Very impressive weathering.

Martin,
Your scenery and weathering is excellent.
That building with the E-100 is great. Scratchbuilt?
The 251/6 dio - I like how expansive the field is. Really imparts the vastness of the land that the machine and troops were contending with.

Yeaaaah mate I like your style, great eye for detail and a feel for narrative. Have to say the 251/6 is by far the best for me...no glossy uniforms hooorah!
You've come to the right place (Diorama forum recommended) & you got our attention. Great work.
