About Me

My photo
I'm a UK based modeller, specialising in German and Commonwealth armour. I have worked on a commission basis for enthusiasts all over the world, created masters for one of the big 1/32 resin "ready made" model companies, and have recently helped out on some projects for Archer Fine Transfers and other 1/35 armour accessory companies. I build for myself - when I have time! - concentrating on Stugs, Pz IV's and UK and Commonwealth WW2 stuff. I also post my work on www.track-link.com, www.missing-lynx.com and www.warwheels.net. Please leave comments or questions on the blog or on any of the websites I post on. If you would like to contact me, just click on "view my complete profile" below for my email address. All the best, and thanks for visiting! Dave

Tiger 1 (Early) - "Totenkopf"

This is an early Tiger 1 depicted as "931" of 3.SS Panzer Grenadier Division Totenkopf during the battle of Kursk in summer 1943.  The base kit is Tamiya, with a few bits of photo-etch and scratch built cleaning rods, lighting cables for the headlights etc. The tow cable is soft metal by Karaya. The crewman, in SS pea-pattern overalls is by Tristar with Archer collar patches and shouder boards. I like the simple two-colour paint scheme of red-brown over dunkelgelb.
