M2 Bradley

 This is the old Tamiya 1/35 scale kit with some interior details. I did ad some more interior stuff such as cables and other misc boxes and stuff on the ceiling as in the real thing, though most of it is improv.

I only added some stowage to the exterior with some tape straps for tie downs.

Winterblitz 2023 Museum of the American GI.

 Just a few birds eye views of the show in the museum. This is the biggest ARMOR show in TX.

Abandoned

 For the HAC Club February WINTER build, I created a scene to depict a broken down and abandoned ammunitions / supply trailer, rusted out and buried in ice and snow.

The trailer accessory kit is by Italeri. Not sure, but the dented oil barrel could be from Tamiya.

I used a variety of Ice and Snow products from Tamiya, Mod Podge, Green stuff etc. 

This is the first time I used a block of XPS insulation foam as a base. Worked out well. It takes less space than a wooden base and much lighter weight. 

I hope you all get chills looking at it.

Polish PL-01 Prototype

 This is the TAKOM kit out of the box. Really simple construction and rather boring.  Al I could do to improve the build was to give it a special camo paint job and weather it as if it had been deployed.

I am happy with the outcome. The model is still out of the box.

The street / sidewalk are plaster casts from Dioramas Plus. 

For the multilevel camo pattern, I cut strips of masking tape into block patterns and between color applications connected the dots. There were 4 levels of tape mask.
