A selection of the models I actually finished during nearly two years with Armorama. I learned much, and hope to have passed some of that on to others.

Henk,
Nice show, now if only I could get enough finished to display.
I do like the range of subjects that you have built, but you need a couple of 251's to complement your skills

John, untill I put this together I did not realise how much Allied stuff I did, in comparison to my German models. Mind you, that's not counting the models that are still 'in progress'...

Redleg, I don't think you need that long, you have some nice stuff in your gallery. Do some more, and submit your own On Display..

Vinnie, I won't even attempt to emulate your 251's, but I'll have a go at my 250/9. It's an Azimut conversion, so that must mean extra bonus points...

Cheers
Henk

Nice collection of kits Henk. Im starting to have a little dragon wagon fever. Really liked the way you made yours tow the M4.

Great job!

between you and Vinnie I am inspired to open up my display case (which is sealed for freshness with duct tape) and snap some shots of stuff I have and submit. I definately like this idea.

Henk, you have a very nice collection of tanks.

Gday Henk
My favourite here is the DUKW! The tarpaulins all look very realistic, especially the one draped on the.50cal. Not sure i caught the final pics of your Dragon Wagon. The shellholes in the Sherman look quite authentic...
Love to churn out this many quality thingies in just 2 years... I've really gotta quit my job #:-)

Nice display Henk. I like the fact that there is a spread over different nationalities from WW2 and some modern thrown in for good measure. The weathering on your PZ IV looks great!

Thanks guys,

Jeremy, beware of the DW Fever... I'm building another on at the moment (an in-between kind of project), which will have a LCM 3 on the back.. Once you've had one, you'll want more..

Sean, please do, we want more submissions for OD's. Mind you, you can still submit individual vehicles for an OD, just shoot a no. of pics from all angles, and some detail shots..

Bradley, I used a lot more OD paint than I realised, and I'm going to need a lot more in the (near) future...
A closer up pic of the Sherman for you



Frank, I do like to build different things, one reason being that I don't really like building the same subject twice.. I'm glad you like the Pzr IV, it's one of my favourites, my first resin conversion, first winter camo I'm I'm really happy with and my first review that I had published on Armorama...

Cheers
Henk

Very nice collection Henk, the PIV winter finish is very impressive, one of the harder camo schemes to achieve

Hi Henk,

Nice range of kits there. Thanks for sharing.

I think this is a great way to encourage people to show their work. Are these Photo Models being stored under features? That would be really handy for reference.

Cheers and keep 'em' coming.

Hi Henk,

Impressive and inspirational!

And depressing. My modeling time is stalling. I can't even get back to the campaign I'm running for a couple of weeks.

Thanks for showing me what could be...

Wooden clipper ships? Armor? Henk, you're a man of many talents
Beautiful work. The Panzer IV is my favorite.

Thanks again guys.

Steve
That reminds me, I haven't worked on the Cutty Sark for to long.. problem is that I'm at the stage where the masts can go up, and I just have no space for it at the moment...

Eth,
The Pzr IV is one of my own favourites, and everytime I look at it I itch to do another one. Which I will...

Great work Henk. Did you ever finish the Firefly you were working on? I don't see it here.
