Germany Type XXI U-boat WW2 Era 1/350

Submarine in 1/350 scale done in acrylics and oils for weathering. The base for all my submarines I keep at the same size, hand cut hardwood and painted with a miniature slip for the sub to be displayed on. The base contains three things - the national flag of origin, a human for size comparison in 1/350 just above and to the right of the flag (look closely) and believe it or not you can scan the QR code to the right with your cellphone camera (use the side view photo) and get lots of information on the submarine in question!

WW2 Sd.KFZ.232 Eight Wheel Drive Armored Car Desert Brown

Tamiya’s Sd.Kfz.232 in original “desert brown”. The 232’s shipped to North Africa were in their brown paint before being repainted in their desert yellow but quite a few were never repainted in the field as depicted here. Being a Tamiya kit there were no surprises and was a fun build. I added desert dust pigment to complete the weathering along with some paint chipping in areas. The large antenna array is done in its original German grey.

WW2 German E-100 by Trumpeter

E-100 by Trumpeter in 1/35 depicted post 1945 with newly installed black lacquer barrel and recently installed aerial protection plate for crew. Over 15 modifications/changes and additions were made to this build including hull texturing, drilling out of machine gun barrel, empty extinguisher bracket, airbrushed stencils, sighting optics and front spare track holder with tracks.

WW2 Me262 A-1a

Tamiya Me262A-1A as seen towards end of the war. Front fuselage panels were replaced but had not been repainted for service. Done in acrylics and Alclad II.

Tamiya 1/12 F1 McLaren MP4/6

The McLaren Formula One car with a Honda V12 power plant in 1/12 scale. Tamiya paints used throughout. Except for some engine details with electrical wiring everything was stock out of the box. I left the main body part off due to the fact upon placement and removal it’s tends to scrape the finish off of the struts despite them being primered. Plus it covers up 90% of the eye candy when installed.

WW2 German Night Fighting Panther Ausf.F SD.KFZ.171

This particular Panther Ausf.F SD.KFZ.171 never saw combat and was discovered by the Allies as it was being used for night fighting trials, complete with infrared night vision, solid off-black camouflage and subdued insignia after the close of WWII. 

Rust and accumulated dust and rain watermarks predominates the tank itself after sitting outside unused for an undetermined amount of time.  It was taken by the Allies and used to test projectile effectiveness and then eventually scrapped.
