So, after a few weeks of waiting, it seems that the waiting for the Merkava IIID model is over. Terry Ashley has yesterday posted preview of the Meng’s Merkava IIID on his […]
Merkavas are (finally) coming
Geschutzwagen 39H(F) – Blast Models Detail set
One of the kits that have been on my to-build list for a while (which most likely means I might get to build it in the next 10 years) is Bronco’s 10.5cm […]
Type 2 Ka-Mi – Part 6: Barrels, exhausts & decals
I have added few touches to KaMi some day before my last week’s trip, mostly dealing l with the details. First I painted the barrels of the two machine guns. For this […]
Type 2 Ka-Mi – Part 5: Dry-brushing, filters, washes & tracks
I have spent last few evenings adding few touches to the Ka-Mi. To tone down the contrast created by preshading and highlighting I applied oil filter. I used my trusty Winsor & Newton […]

Type 2 Ka-Mi – Part 1: Construction
(UPDATED on April 3, 2012 – added some more corrections) Here comes another recent inspiration of mine. Having seen this model built by two of my friends (and both very nice models) […]
El Alamein Sherman
After some time I had also laid my hands on the El Alamein Sherman that is sitting on my desk in the final phases of the construction. One of the last major […]
Ferdinand
Ferdinand is another piece from my shelf queen collection. It is Dragon kit, which is relatively new. When it first came out, I wasn’t very intrigued by this vehicle. Then I saw […]
Something new is coming…
There are few areas in the armored vehicles world, which are for some unknown reason poorly covered in the 1/35 scale. The first that comes to my mind is French armour. Few […]
Merkava II
…and speaking of Merkavas, I have actually built one years ago. It is an old Academy Merkava II kit. I can truly say that this is one of my “antique” kits. I have […]
MiniArmour
