Here are my first 1/72 builds. The Hasagawa Grant has a few scratch made details added, the Kubelwagon is my first attempt at weathering and the Kettenkrad and Jeep are factory fresh as I've not decided what to do with them yet.

@Gr8tfuldead - William,

Welcome to the "Light" (Braille Scale) and this forum. You might like to have a look at the Adding Photos from Gallery to Posts.. thread to see how pictures are added. In the mean time,









You could also try a free photo hosting site such as Photobucket. With their system getting a quick link to a photo is a one click affair.

As for your builds, the Grant looks quite good and I've always had a soft spot for the Kubelwagen. Thanks for sharing and I hope to see you participate in this forum in the future.

Cheers,
Jan

Hi William and welcome to armorama,

You are showing some good basic skills in your builds.
Agree with Jan about the Lee.

Keep investing time in the hobby and it will pay back.

Hope to see more from your models in the future.

P.A.

Happy to see your work. The M3 really shows off your talent. The kubelwagen should be a lesson in pin washes. I've found the best way to do pin washes with watercolors is a fine line brush, a steady hand, and patience. Looking forward to your future builds.

@Gr8tfuldead – William,

Welcome and hope you enjoy your stay here at Armorama! Good job on the kits. Like the scratch make net and tarp on the Grant.

Thanks for posting and sharing, hoping to see more of your work here again.
