I make 1/72 scale model airplanes. You should see my Italian front Folkwolf. I made it from hand, and it looks pretty darn good! Italeri makes some good kits. I have been working on a B-52 for like 4 months now. It looks like crap, but I'll try and finish it.

i like plastic models more. Ive been making 1/35 models for about two years and really enjoy it. Its also more fun because if your good then you can get into great detial and you can also custom make their equiptment. although you can do that with figures too. I now have about 30 kits worth of figures veheciles equiptment and am trying to think of a wat to eg red of em. Krupp i highly suggest you start making them because they dont take that long to make and i usually just pop in an eposide of bob and make 2 or 3 figures. Plus the more u work with them the better they will turn out. Ill actually try to post some pics of em just to show u the detial.

I own them both since I do 1/35 modelling. Dragon releases the 1/6 figures from their 1/35 line and so I am able to model the miniature off his 1/6 likeness, or purchase the bigger guy later to add to my collection. I will try to post pics of my Nashorn from Italy in '44 and a Wiking Grenadier in Hungary in '45 as soon as I can borrow a decent camera to take high resolution pics.

BTW Has anyone seen more of the Dragon 1/6 figure with the Vampir MP-44 set? There is a new one coming out (if you check their website you will see) and I have only seen a photo of him in a line up with Dragon's other upcoming 1/6 releases.

Excellent work. Hopefully more people will post pics as I dig looking at war models/toys (sometimes more than uniforms).

Those are all my paintjobs. I've done Battletech and Star Trek mini's for years, and have had some of my stuff published. Airsoft kinda took over as my hobby of choice in the last couple of years though.

I've recently started 1/35 models.

I managed to score a Bandai 1/24 Panther with full interior from Ebay, can't wait to see it.

I am really interested in dioramas. Anyone knows a spot that has considerable accesories for sale?
I can't seem to find anything

There is a company whose name is something like Miniart which is located in Eastern Europe and has produced a large variety of 1/35 scale diorama pieces including buildings for extremely low prices.

The only other easily found alternative is Verlinden diorama kits, which although of nice detail, are a big pricey and tend to have a nasty amount of bubbles (due to the resin process) and the need for significant clean up.
