Haven't been posting here for a long time. Anyone still taking interest in plastic scale modelling? This is my recently finished Finnish Leopard 2. It's the old 1/35 Esci kit.

I have to do a bit of catching up here on BS as my last post is many weeks old. In the meantime I have finished among other projects this conversion of the old Tamiya 1/35 German Horch into a Finnish workshop truck. Heavy mud weathering was true fun.

If you haven't had enough of my endless variations of the same 1/35 desert plate you probably might enjoy this one. It's the German SdKfz. 231 (Historic kit) this time meeting a British Rolls-Royce AC (old Roden kit).

Sure thing buddy! 🍻 IMHO there is no such thing as a mediocre build. All I see around the net are lovely kit projects which are done with joy and best individual knowledge and skill.

Good choice mate a couple of years ago I incorporated the same ruin from a Bolt Action starter set into a small dio.

I have another one of these pairing the newly finished SdKfz 231 with its 8-wheeled successor the SdKfz 232, which I built a couple of years ago.

You saw this one coming, haven't you? Many new possibilities now for staging a couple of Western Desert scenes with my newly finished SdKfz. 231. Like this one pairing up with Tamiya's classic SdKfz. 222.

Correction, yes there is I just checked my insta account, on all my 1/56 Bolt Action tanks I used the kit decals. 🧐

😁 Well, this is a way to put it, my friend. Indeed I can't remember a tank/soft skin kit in recent years of which I have used the kit decals. πŸ˜…

Today I finished weathering my 1/35 Historic kit SdKfz 231. Heavy pigment use because it's representing a - what if - Afrikakorps scout car in 1941. πŸ˜…

Back in the 90s I was immensely proud of this 'Desert Storm' light tank conversion (ab)using Italeri's venerable 38(t) kit. In the meantime today I have to confess that modelling and weathering wise it hasn't aged too well ... πŸ˜…

Happy to show my latest finished 1/35 project, an
Italeri kit conversion. It's the experimental Swedish Strv m/41 S-III with the long 50mm gun which was extensively tested by the Finnish army after 1945. Project was soon abandoned as Soviet T-54/55 became available.
