Most of these are available to non-Japanese buyers through HLJ, albeit in box form (I.E: even if one is interested in a single vehicle he has to buy the whole box including other models he might not be interested to have); marketing may vary in time (both box title and contents...

For something out of left field, check out the Detroit Arsenal/Chrysler TV-1 atomic tank in the collection. Here's on this beastie. Mind you, I reckon it is outdone by the truly bizarre . Looking at the model, you might conclude that someone accidentally stuck a 1/35 scale...

I E-mailed Jeff recently and asked about new stuff coming up and what I would like to see. Got the 250/ neu covered and the 7/2 flak was the reply to my short list. Looking forward to both.
Made a little project in between:
I had the Dodge WC-54 Ambulance Arrowhead white metal kit on my table for long, eventually I wanted to make space for something else. As I didn't find a place to to store it - I built it!
It's a nice little kit, you can even have the back doors...

Very nice. There’s something very nicely proportioned about the Dodge WC series. I don’t know - their faces just look right! Dodge sort of lost it with the M37. Much less attractive. Anyway you’ve done this WC justice - beautifully done.
1/144 Weapons and tools set available on Shapeways to jazz up your vehicles. I've got 2 ordered and if anyone is interested I can post photos when they get here.

Smooth Fine Detail is great for getting things in scale but the trade-off is that very fine parts are susceptible to warping and breakage during the posting process. And that is despite Shapeways going to town on the bubblewrap! ;)
As already said in a different forum, I recently bought a couple of 3D-printed trucks from panzershop.nl. I am quite happy with the quality, only downside is the detail of the lower chassis/axles and the fact, that they don't sell decals for the entire range (they do for German...

Hi Fritz,
Oh absolutely. Nothing beats plastic sheets. It’s clearly the best way to do it.
During the building of this model used for the photoshoot for the package and website, I thought to add the classical coin to check the real dimensions of the model. But modeler mind doesn't work normally so I decided to embed the coin into the scene to turn it more interesting...
Another beautiful (and fairly quick) build from the old man for the 1/144th scale Jolly Rogers Airfield Diorama we're currently building at the Connecticut Air & Space Center. I'll let him take it away:
This is a build sequence of a 1/144th scale WWII Airfield Fuel Truck It's...

Truly outstanding! Please keep us advised of progress on the diorama, which I am sure will be breathtaking. I visited the Museum about 10 years ago, and need to go there again soon. Thanks for the great post!
Didn't have much time during the last weeks (and won't have in the ones to come), but there's always some time and space for a little bit of modeling! 8-)
Being limited in space, I decided to start my first armored vehicle in 144 - and, to make it even more of a first night, in...

Thanks for the kind replies!
As to home made decals: I'd just love to do them myself, but have no idea how much I would have to invest in a printer capable of printing decals like the licence plates in the pics. They are tiny but 4-color and perfectly readable!
Bad news from PG Models
On its blog, PG Models announces that it is ceasing its activity.
Paul Gandy produced models at the N Gauge scale (1/152) but which were perfectly compatible with the 1/144.

Recently picked up this set but I can't figure out what some of the folk are up to!
I get the classic deckchair pose, the man with the bats and the dog too! But why are so many doing lunges and who are the guys with rifles? RAF Regiment?
Also wondering, do people...

Interesting to see, how the Shermans all differ a little, not only in size but also in (level of) details. Without a scale picture of the real thing it's hard to say which one is the most accurate

I've made (the original version most likely, given when I bought it). With all those possibilities for camo schemes, very tempted to purchase a few more, as well as their and . They'd all slip nicely into the current 1940 GB (says he who had three models well under way until our...
This is Dragon's M270 MLRS, which I'll be doing in a Finnish scheme.
Here are the pieces:
The moulding is decent for the scale and the level of detail is good, with the only real downsides being the distorted edges of the launcher piece and the amount of mould lines to...

Looks great! Not sure about posing it in the garden, though. The camo works that well in the photo you're likely to lose it! :D

I've come to like putting vehicles and ground equipment around my aircraft when I photograph them - I feel it brings the scene to life and gives a sense of scale. After completing my Fordors (and quite enjoying...

Lovely job.
Now to really test your eyesight how about adding the RAF codes along the edges of the bonnet!!!!???
I'm not quite sure if its original collection, or inspired by his original collection - but, he's (it has to be a he, right?) certainly stepped up his game.

I've seen just how many posts you've done in this part of the forum over the years, so expected a reasonable number but this is naughty word unbelievable! :mrgreen:
The Arrowhead Warrior is a very detailed casting complete with interior although no instructions or decals - for these I used a generic set from I94. Photos show the stencils used for UN lettering varied widely.
Weathering was Flory wash which I find really easy to use,...

Well done! Not many non-WWII AFV subjects gets posted here.
Perhaps you could have posted this under 1/144 Scenics, Accessories and Dioramas .
