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

Royal Engineers LVT-2

My latest piece - the first of 2015 - is the Italeri LVT-2 built as a British RE Assault Squadron vehicle in the Netherlands, early 1945. I bought the Resicast Polsten Gun set with the .30 cals and shields, which was excellent. I like to work from photographs where possible, but I couldn't find one of an LVT-2 with the .30 shields, but I liked them so much I decided to use artistic licence and add them anyway. They were more usually seen on the later LVT-4.

Figures were by Miniart and Bronco, and the accessories where from the Resicast set or by Reality in Scale (as was the base).
