It's been a while. Here are some photos of a diorama I've completed recently. I'm calling it 'Tea with Monty'. The Grant Mk2 is a Mini-art kit, tank crew are 3d printed resin and Monty is from a Tamiya kit of generals. Very happy with the end result. #tankmodel #afvmodel #scalemodel #scalemodelling #minatures #135scale #tamiya #3dprinting #miniart

Better photos of my diorama Courland 1945. Photography by Paul Adams. #tankmodel #afvmodel #scalemodel #scalemodelling #minatures #135scale #tamiya #italeri #miniart

Finally got my first diorama done. End of the war scene with Russian soldiers, German Stugs and a Kubelwagen. #tankmodel #afvmodel #scalemodel #scalemodelling #minatures #135scale #tamiya #italeri #miniart

Matilda project I finished in January got an award at my club's Tamiya competition. It only bagged 1st place! Very pleased as there were over 20 entries. #tankmodel #afvmodel #scalemodel #scalemodelling #minatures #135scale #tamiya

Completed. M-8 Greyhound in a 1950's Korean scheme. #scalemodel #scalemodels #scalemodeling #tankmodel #tankmodeling #afvmodel #minatures

Moved on to next project. An M-8 Greyhound, which has been an on/off project from 2022. This is an Academy kit, primer was black and first layers of Olive Drab are on. A nice little build and no real issues. #scalemodel #scalemodels #scalemodeling #tankmodel #tankmodeling #afvmodel #minatures

Back to working on my Tamiya Sherman Easy 8. Once I get the majority done I'll revisit the kitbash I had planned. I think I need to print another hat though.

Went to a model show and saw another cheap Stug IV for sale. So I started on it straight away. 1st just needs decals and a layer of dust, 2nd build is nearly complete. #scalemodel #scalemodels #scalemodeling #tankmodel #tankmodeling #afvmodel #minatures

#tanktuesday A Finnish post war Pz. IV unit with a smuggled in Pz. III which the Finns never had. These are all Italeri and Tamiya kits. #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge

In the case you grew up with these 1:32 Airfix toy soldiers as I did you should note more changes in appearance ... #132scale #54mm #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge #toysoldiers #armymen

My current work in progress is the conversion of the classic Airfix 1/32 toy soldiers British Support Team set into Australian machine gunners and mortar crew. A simple head swap is doing the job. #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge #toysoldiers #armymen

More figures of my 1/32 Italeri Soviet Winter Infantry set, painted as Finns. #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge

Some of my painted 54 mm figures. This is the 1/32 Italeri Soviet Winter Infantry set, again painted as Finns. #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge

This time a simple 1/56 Warlord/Italeri Panther for #tanktuesday #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge

This 28 mm Warlord/Bolt Action Soviet Machine Gun Team has received Finnish uniforms, strengthening my Finnish Bolt Action force. #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge

This was quite a unique modelling experiment: I tried to enhance one of these cheap plastic toy guns found in Chinese copied toy soldier bags up to 54 mm standards. Quite happy with the result. #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge

I agree, this what-if Finnish winter camo on a 1/72 Plastic Soldier T-55 is outrageous ... but was huge fun to paint. 😄 #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge

Small project, but quite unusual: This is the ACE 1/72 French AML-90 Armored Car. #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge
