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

SdKfz 234/4

This is Dragon's Premium Edition SdKfz 234/4 built pretty much out of the box. From the photos I could find, the tyres were right for a late war 234/4, but I added one different pattern each side for some contrast. I added tool clasp handles (a strange omission Dragon!) and stowage from Reality in Scale. The figures are by Evolution, and the markings are from Archer and the spares box.

 Studying just about every late war photo of 234's I could find, it looks like the hard-edged camouflage was a very standardised pattern. I hand brushed the green/brown using Xtracrylics in a darker tone, then tightly sprayed the inside of the colours in lighter-toned Tamiya acrylics. This gives some definition between the colour blocks.

 The base and advertising kiosk are by Reality in Scale, and the side of the house is by Miniart.
