LVT A-1 by Chan Jackson

 Chan finished Italeri's 1/35th scale LVT "Alligator" with Tamiya and AK paints and AK and Scale 75 "soil works" enamels.

The figures are Scale 75 and VLS with Hornet heads. The palm tree is from a Vietnamese company imported to the US by a Columbus, Ohio dealer who is, unfortunately, no longer able to procure them.

Sd.Kfz. 3 Maultier Ambulance by Dave Blankenship

 I finished Dragon's 1/35th scale Sd.Kfz. 3 Maultier Ambulance with Ammo by MIG acrylics, weathered it with oil filters and pin washes, and powdered pigments. The interior was dressed up a bit with parts from the spares box and a floor surface done with oil paints. 

All-in-all, and enjoyable build and another kit to add to my growing collection of WW II German medical evacuation vehicles.

King Tiger by Terry McKeown

 

Terry embellished Tamiya's easy-to-build King Tiger with aftermarket Tamiya link tracks, photoetch, and 3-d printed tools.

He finished it with Tamiya acrylic paint, oil washes, and pin washes, and pigments on the lower hull and tracks.

M-24 Chaffee by Chan Jackson

Chan finished Italeri's 1/35th scale M-24 with Tamiya paints and a MIG weathering kit. The building is also Italeri...their church ruin. The figures were a mix of Scale 75, Evolution, and the tank crew from an unknown manufacturer.

As a bit of historical background, the Chaffee entered service in the winter of 1944 and saw action   during the Battle of the Bulge. Because its suspension was radically different than that of the Sherman (and closely resembled that of German tanks) many M-24's were fired upon by American troops.

Chan claims this project as another "Shelf Queen" back in action.

 Terry finished his Tamiya Churchill with Tamiya and Mig Gen 3 acrylics and added a Miniart figure and Value Gear stowage to enhance it.

Napoleonic Diorama Work-in-Progress by David Blankenship

 I'm getting out of my comfort zone of building mainly World War Two armor and aircraft by jumping into an 18th century theme.  The figures are 54 mm Historex offerings which will (hopefully) end up in a diorama comprising around ten figures, five horses, and the 8-pounder artillery piece in the photo.  

Since the finished diorama will require considerable figure conversion (if you're familiar with Historex figures, you know they come in rather staid postures) and finishing with oils can be a time-consuming process, it may be a long-term undertaking.

Stuart M5A1 by Terry Mckeown

 Here's a nicely done AFV Club M5A1 Stuart that Terry finished with Tamiya and Mig Gen 3 acrylics.  He added Legend sandbags to the vehicle and placed it on a Tiger Models base which he painted with craft acrylics.
