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

It's pretty much OOTB - it's a superb kit - but I stuffed out the interior with engineer gear - boxes, explosives, mines and tools. The figures are a mixture of resin and styrene; DML, Cromwell and an unidentified resin standing figure in cold-weather trousers, panzer wrap and Hornet head (wearing cold weather cap). I added Archer SS collar titles where appropriate. Anyway, here it is:
