Revell 1/72 B-17G Fortress 29/05/2021

So I've had this in the build pile for a while, and thought I'd drag it out and build it with research I've done to be built as the original "Nine-O-Nine".

My first model completion of the year. It's Tamiya's 1/35 M4A3 75mm (w). The model represents a Tank belonging to the 6th Armored Division during the Ardennes Offensive in January, 1945. The 6th Armored aka "Super Sixth" landed on Utah Beach on July 19, 1944.

1/35 M1A1 Abrams "Combat Cadillac" first completion of the year

As per the title this is my first completion of the year. Its Meng Models M1A1 AIM. My model is based on 6 different Tanks I had pictures of so put them into one model (my model my rules). In the main it depicts a Tank belonging to the USMC complete with wading stacks. The .50 on the main gun barrel is an Army fixture, but I decided I like the look, so decided to fit it on my model. Also the ring gunsight on the Commander's .50 machine gun is not installed on the guns in real life, but I added one because it looks cool. The markings are for USMC tanks from different time frames, but again its my model so I can do what I like with it. I really enjoyed building this kit, and will be buying other variants of the "Combat Cadillac" as its my favourite modern Tank. So what's next?

My Mum

Well last Saturday at 01:30 Mum lost her short, but brave battle with Lung Cancer. We knew Mum just had weeks, but we weren't expecting her to pass away so early. But at least now she is at peace and is no longer suffering.

My first completion for 2018

This is a 1/24 scale Grey Matters figure of an RAF Fighter Command pilot in 1940. The figure was painted in acrylics, enamels and oils. I'm quite pleased to how it turned out.
