Hobby Boss M3A1 White Scout Car “Late Production” I didn’t know if I would be entering this year as I really have a lot going on at the moment. But I also want to support SMA. I thought this would be a good way to get back to my roots. So I decided to join the fun with this M3 Scout car...

So, I’ve been playing with this little Vignette over the years. The Italeri Gate section started off as a practice piece to try some paint colors and weathering. It then started to involve into a little more when I ran across the neat little wood base. I then found a scrap section of...

This is the Dragon M4 Normandy kit ready for paint with Value Gear Details added.

This is a little side build I’m working on. I’ll be building an M4A3 (76) to show how Value Gear’s detail sets fit the kit. The Value Gear sets were designed to fit the Tamiya kit, but with just a little work, they can be adapted to just about any Sherman kit. The Value Gear products...

German 39(H) 10.5cm LeFH19(SF) auf Geschutzwagen I won this kit from last years BSC by our good mate John Simmons. I had made a promise to him that I would build it for this years BSC, but I decided to fool around with some big ol nasty truck that kinda got me in trouble. I guess that’s what...

This is my entry into the 2014 Big Spring contest. I have decided to step out of my comfort zone and build something different. I normally build armor, but seeing as I work on these things for a living, I figured what the heck. Let’s see if I can get this together without doing a ton of...

This is a project I have going on over at my Sherman Shop forum. It’s part of a Tamiya Sherman group build that is currently active. I’ll be building the Ford built M4A3 Dry storage Sherman. The base kit is the Tamiya M4 with numerous parts from the spare parts box. The Tamiya M4 kit...

An SMA Exclusive Build I had a vision the other day……..Well, ok, I saw a picture on Face Book and I have been thinking about this ever since I saw it. ;D ;D ;D ;D For those of you that saw the picture, please don’t spoil it. :-X :-X You’ll just have to keep an eye on this one to...

This is another project that I have been working on. The pictures below are my inspiration. It’s an M4A1 Mid production with the M34 mount and early bogies. This picture was taken in Italy in 1945. This looks like the perfect subject to try the AK effects on. This is the Kit I am using...

I started this one to model a particular Sherman, and about half way through the build, I discovered I had the wrong final drive housing on it, (Tranny nose). So, I had to start over on that project leaving this one to collect dust. After reading Tankart 2, I have decided to pull this one out...

This is just something that I have been playing around with. I have a couple of the Italeri water tank trailers on the bench that I work on from time to time. The purpose of this thread is 2 fold. #1 is a test to compare different brands of Olive Drab paint and to compare the effects the...

I have been wanting to build this partiular Stug for some time now. With Dragons new release of kit # 6593 It's now possible to build it straight out of the box, almost. I just can't resist getting this one out and starting on it. It’s not gonna be a fast build as I really want to take my...

Here is my entry into the Big Spring Contest. It’s the Dragon King Tiger Henschel Turret with Zimmerit. My wife bought this kit for me for Christmas a couple years ago from Cajun model supply’s eBay store.

Any one up for an old classic build? Besides, it’s olive drab………… ;D ;D ;D ;D I just ordered a PE set for it to liven this tired old kit up!

My next Sherman project. But not with the figures ;D Stay tuned 8)

Ok, this is something a little different for me. It’s been over 25 years since I built a car model. I’ve been strictly armor and figures. However, Thanks to a certain individual here in the forums, I kinda have an itching to build a rat rod. My father and I restored 5 old car and trucks...

Dragon RSO/01 Type 470 Tractor Kit #6691 Ever since I heard Dragon was going to release a new RSO in August, I knew right away that I just had to have one! I have been watching the on line vendors periodically and finally found them available from Sprue Brothers. So I wasted no time in...

Hey fellas, Thought I’d share this one over here. It’s been a while since I posted on SMA. This is a project that I started back in the 90s and gave up on it because I didn’t like how the paint was turning out. I found it a few months ago packed away in a box and decided to give it a...

I think I just diagnosed myself with AMS ( Advanced Modelers Syndrome ). I find myself starting new builds without finishing current projects first, lol. Seeing as I’m the campaign leader of the light tanks camping on Armorama, I figured I better get mine done. So I switched over to this...

Here we go again! I’m still in figure mode and need to fulfill my urge to paint. Finished up the Duke tonight and feeling a little empty. Tony Lee wants to see Clint Eastwood, so this one’s for Tony. This one will be a little more of a challenge as there are some scene accessories to...
