Here are some old old builds. The 250b was done by converting the old 250a with plastic card as the later model was not available then. The infantry bridge vehicle was scratchbuilt from the hull up and the hull backdated. The Puma was detailed with a bunch of stuff and the 251 was backdated to a B model and the flivo luftwaffe stuff scratchbuilt such as the korbelmast,etc. I was a busy beaver back then.
Sorry to bore everyone with this old stuff.
The couch is the very old kit from the Life Like company in box scale,maybe 1/48. I detailed a lot of stuff on it but it was a nice little kit.
The cargo track was a 251 that I converted by scratchbuilding the einheits wooden cab and the cargo bed. I tried to show the ill fit of a late war vehicle by purposly leaving gaps in the engine hood. The contests judges hated this and I never placed despite all the scratchbuilding. It would have been a lot easier to build everything nice and closed and even!! Hahaha
I used Modelkasten links which,at the time,were relly hi tech and exciting for me!!
How times change.

Jerry, Contest judges may not see a good build if it hits them in the head. I love the truck and stage coach. Keep at it.
