Well here are my armour builds for 2007.

A year that two frustrating aircraft builds totally smashed my enthusiasm for aircraft modelling. So I turned to small scale armour as part of the road to recovery and discovered that small scale armour is great fun and offers a whole new learning experience. So much so, that I will be building armour regularly now alternating with aircraft builds.

So here is my small line up for this year. I am learning all the time and though these builds do not compare to the likes Of Sven, and others, I hope to get better in this new genre of modelling for me.

So here are some pics of my builds for the year. I have finished my current build, a Hasegawa 1:72 M2 155mm Long Tom (today) but have not taken pictures as yet..

1:72 Matchbox T-80BV



1:72 Dragon T-34/85



1:72 (actually 1:70ish) Hasegawa M4A3E8 Sherman


1:72 Trumpeter JS-3M "Pike"



Trumpeter 1:72 12.8cm Selbstfahrlafette auf VK3001(H) "Sturer Emil"



For those who have seen these images before, my apologies.

Cheers

Mike

That's an impressive collection you've got there Mike!!!

I think they are all very high class builds and it's easy to
see that you got the talent so just try to set your sights
even higher for 2008 and I'll bet that you'll produce some
fantastic builds!!!

Great!!!

Best regards

It was a good year, very productive. Give AC's a break and come back to them later. They'll be fun again.

Michael,

Your production rate far exceeds mine of only one this past year (Vietnamese T-54). And the quaility of your builds are excellent. You have also put in that extra touch and placed them in thier own enviroment (dio). Cheers to you

Looking forward to seeing more of your builds this year.
