Seeing as i am new here, i thought i would post some pics of my mostrecent armour builds. Hereare 3allcompleted this year, all in 35th ofcourse.

Dragons Sd.Kfz. 251/6 Ausf C with the addition of an Eduard PE set. This was my first Pz Grey scheme and so required to try out a few new things for weathering. I was very pleasedwith the finaldusty apperance. Thye figures area mix of Dragon and Tristar.







Italeri's Panzerwerfer 42 had been in the stash about 20 years. It was improved with a RoyalModels Resin and PE set and some Fruil tracks. The figures are also from Royal Modles.







And this beast was finished a couple of weeks ago. Trumnpeters E-100 jagd Pz is my first Trump kit and biggest 35th build to date. It was also my first properurbandio and i spent more time on the base than i did the vehicle.







The building and base are all from Great North Roads. It needed 3 sections of plaster cobelstones and it's damn heavy.

Thanks for looking, all comments are very welcome.

Great stuff, like the effort and time you spend on detailing your ground work, inspirational, and something I am working toward myself.

Thanks for the comments and the welcome.

Dave, I have been putting more effort into the bases the last couple of years as I have got more comfortable with the finish of the vehicles. I still need to work more on my figures though.

Martin,

Your scenery and weathering is excellent.

That building with the E-100 is great. Scratchbuilt?

The 251/6 dio - I like how expansive the field is. Really imparts the vastness of the land that the machine and troops were contending with.

Yeaaaah mate I like your style, great eye for detail and a feel for narrative. Have to say the 251/6 is by far the best for me...no glossy uniforms hooorah!

You've come to the right place (Diorama forum recommended) & you got our attention. Great work.
