Plastic and wooden models made by me through the decades. All armor/military models I keep within 1/35 scale, F1 cars are 1/12, aircraft are 1/48 and my upcoming foray into submarines will be all 1/350 scale. I have just recently rediscovered plastic models once again after a 40+ year hiatus and am trying to hone my skill sets as best I can while having fun. It’s been a very steep learning curve after being “out of the water” for decades and a real eye opener as to techniques and supplies.

M109A6 Paladin Self Propelled Howitzer

February 10, 2025

Old Italeri kit with rights purchased by Tamiya. Because of this it involved more prep work than I had anticipated. Made as used during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003 by US Army. The M109 featured an 155mm gun. Ironically, this is what I was destined to crew with had I not failed my hearing test when I tried serving again with the Army instead of USAF.

U.S. Marine Corps AAVP7A1 Amphibious Assault Vehicle

February 28, 2025

Old 1992 Tamiya kit done in acrylics and various weathering mediums/techniques. This versatile vehicle can navigate in the ocean waves 9 feet tall while carrying 25 fully equipment Marines and can even withstand total immersion without sinking. It is a very large tracked vehicle, being almost the same length as the US M1A1 Abram’s main battle tank.

JB’s Model Zone: As web page says after a 40+ year hiatus started getting an interest once again in plastic model building but also continuing my interest in wooden boats and ships which is a completely different skill set. Used to enjoy sportbike riding but hung that up after 30 some years and decided not to push my luck of not being involved in an accident. Retired back at age 54 and just trying to enjoy life what with what time I’ve been blessed with. You may contact me with any questions or concerns at the above email address!
