ICM Model | Laffy Ex-French Tractor | Modified to German service
A fab kit, accurate and well-detailed.
I opened the bonnet and added a stowage box, rifle clips, top rail, brake cables and fine wiring details in the engine.

A mix of spare plastic parts, re-purposed kit pieces, some very old Minitank transfers, Tamiya Velociraptors, a grass mat, real vegetation, and Woodland Scenics bushes. Fujimi driver. Lidl fruit net sprayed khaki. Old spray booth filter for the exhaust effects. 3D plaque. Suspended on 2 clear sprues. This diorama was 3-months’ work at least. Challenging but fun! Pure escapism.

Tamiya | Honda RA272 | 1/20 Scale

Revell Star Wars: The Mandalorian The Razor Crest Model Kit 1:72 Scale
With this model, I wanted to practice several effects, including using metallic paints, different weathering techniques, and if I could light the model. The lights are from the Lego lighting kits that have interchangeable parts to enable you to create any lighting you need. I then used Plasticard on the supporting stand to hide the power cable that runs into the base. A hole was then cut in the picture frame I used to house the electrics for the USB power supply.

With this figure I wanted to use it in a small diorama to practice my figure painting skills but also try out several techniques for creating rust effects. I used paint rust effects on the barrel and two types of chemical rust effects on the jerry cans. The base is a commercially available plaster base that I added various scenery components including leaf litter and grass.

The Airfix 1/72 Airborne Willy’s Jeep.
The kit comes with Jeep, trailer, howitzer, drop cradle and various bits for display options.
Although a beginner kit, it has a lot of parts, so it’s pretty good value for the money.
Some of the parts are a bit fiddly, but they went together well after a bit of filing. A good learning experience for me.
The base is MDF, with Polyfilla for the ground, gravel from my driveway hammered down for some scaled stones, and some scattered grass.
Wheel tracks are just made by rolling a spare wheel in the wet Polyfilla. The sign is scratch-built.
The whole thing is both brush and airbrush painted. The figures are spares from the stash as there aren’t any in the kit (shame that), and Anthony made me a brass plaque to finish it off.
