I am still very new to the hobby so I am picking up hints and tips everyday.
Now that I just don't believe - sorry, mate!
Your work is just TOO good.
And as for picking up hints & tips, I reckon you could show a lot of us here a thing or two!
Nice work, Dean. And thanks for sharing.

Hey Deano! That Panzerfest sure looks excellent! I have never seen them all in a gallery together... Do I notice that the Panther Swarm is absent?

Trul a fantastic set of images... Bring on more.
Cheers Phil

...........I hope to start a blog here very soon,Ive just started a King Tiger but Im putting it in a dio with a building and figures.Where would be the best place too put this?
in which forum?
Cheers
Deano
Hi again Deano,
Your builds are all German WWII so I'd recommend starting a blog thread in the
Axis-WWII pages. That's where everyone else seems to put them.. and they'll get the more of an audience there.

Dean,
who makes the figure in the cupola of the F-1? Good pose and good job painting him.
C.
Hi Charles,the figure is from Miniart's SPG riders and crew.They are not the best figures around however they do have some very good and unique poses.I have upgraded the figure with Hornet head,PE and decals.I find that once you upgrade the Miniart figures they do turn out quite well.
Cheers

He he Matt,I have put a lot of my time into modelling in a short space of time.I am constantly on the look out for new techniques although I do not like them all,I will try quite a few out with each build.My next project is trying to get an interesting finish in all over Dark Yellow camo so that should be interesting.
I would like to thank you all again for the positive vibes
Cheers
