British Staghound by Jim Mesko

Jim built the 1/35th scale Italeri Staghound out-of-the-box except for the addition of weld lines and painted it with Pactra enamels. The only problem area he encountered was the fenders. He added Value Gear stowage and camo netting made from gauze and masking tape and re-did the antenna.

Ehrhardt E-V/4 by Chan Jackson

Here's one you don't see every day. Chan built this Ehrhardt E-V/4 armored car from a resin kit by  P.O.R Province, an obscure Russian company. He reports that it was an unusually soft resin and difficult to work with. The kit also contained white metal parts. The figure is an older Tauro release and the base is the Monro Perdu "Sunken Road" offering.
