    Is it a scratch-built conversion or a kit?
    (I can't tell - which means that if it is a scratch-built conversion then it is very good! :D )

    Ofcourse... Without practice it wouldn't work, I guess. I shan't be very easy to do, but I actually meant it's easier than I thought to get the right materials.

    A model kit is never finished.
    You always end up finding something to correct or improve.

    Here's the latest of what I've been working on. They're for WW2 miniature gaming in 1/72 scale. Small bits and fragile parts are left off to avoid breakage but they're not too bad to look at.

    BTW, the Panther is a die-cast Dragon Armor piece that I weathered, mudded, and based. The T-34/76 is an Italeri kit, the Pz IV is a Hasegawa kit, the KV-2 is a PSG (?) kit.

    Go here and then click on Jody's WW2 stuff.

    Had a moment of weakness over the weekend and bought myself a 1/400 scale 1941 HMS Illustrious. Now I have to figure out where to put it when I finish it :(

    lol, so you know the problem! :D

    I recently started on a Jagdpanther, and I still have an ME 210 and a C-47 Skytrain on the line, half- finished.
