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

StuH 42 - Ostfront

This is another DML StuH 42 with moulded on zimm. This one features an Armorscale metal barrel and resin mantlet, home made concrete armour (Squadron Green Putty), soft brass tow cable with resin ends, a home made stowage cage and stowage, and Eduard schurzen. The kit doesn't include the schurzen mounting rails but luckily the older DML StuH 42 includes two sets so I was able to utilise those.

Stug E with Winterketten


This is the DML Stug F backdated to an E. I've also added wintertketten (literally - "Winter Tracks") that I had spare from a DML Stug F/8 kit. I also added loads of stowage and gave it a whitewashed paint job:











StuH 42 with concrete armour


This is the DML StuH 42 with moulded on zimmerit. I added concrete armour over the hull front using Squadron Green putty built up in layers. I also added schurzen from Eduard which I had in the spares box. I decided to go for a dirty whitewash finish:

Anneliese - sPz Abt 503

Anneliese - King Tiger (Porsche turret)

Anneliese - a fairly well known KT of the 503rd Heavy Tank Battalion - was a commissioned piece using the DML King Tiger as a base. The pics should show the hand applied zimmerit using Squadron Green putty and a Tamiya zimm rake set. Mmmm.... toluene....

Anyway, I was pretty happy with how she turned out...
