Its been 2 years now since I started modelling. This summer I decided to finish off any old kits that have been laying around ...... some for 18 months. Some of these I got bored with, others seemed crappy and others were left for more interesting subjects. As theres always things to learn, I decided to finish these up for good.
First up Tamiya´s M4 early Sherman and willys jeep(my second kit ever)!



Next up a threesome of Academy models .... Humvee, Mutt with TOW, and Mutt with trailer. Also included was a dio base I started but lost interest in!





Base coated and with johnssons clear ready for decals is Italeris M4A1 which was part of the 76mm group build, but left to the side, and Italeris M32 recovery, in the same state, which I built alongside the Sherman. I also built a M7 priest at the same time but this has no paint yet.



And last but not least is Revells M88A1G and AFVs M88A1, that I have been working on in between to break the boredom.Better pics of these and my Sd.Kfz. 222 and 223 for Barborossa will be posted in the rivet review form later.

Comments, no matter how harsh are welcome. Its good that things that are obvious are pointed out ... Even though some of these models are sadly lacking, it was good practice to do some painting and weathering. Not easy when so much was done earlier. Its hard to make a silk purse out of a sows ear as they say!

Man, I have to give you credit for going back and finishing up half built models! I usually end up tossing them in the trash. Very good work for only modelling 2 years. Such an output, I am properly chastened. My best year has only seen the FINISH of three models. Good modelling.

Nice to see others picking up what was set to the side as well. Keep up the good work...
