Royal Flying Corps WWI

I am attempting my first bust - Model Cellar's excellent Royal Flying Corps WWI. I saw this bust just before it's release at the APG show in Gettysburg in July of 2010 - it is a fantastic sculpt. Hope to finish by the end of January.

KV-1

Last year I finished up this model of the Trumpeter KV-1 with Alpine Figures for the Squadron Eagle Quest show in Dallas, TX. To date, this was one of my favorite kits to build - high quality, kit just fell together out of the box. There are no third-party add-ons with this model. I wanted to build one up straight out of the box for fun, and I was very pleasantly surprised at just how well this turned out without spending the usual fortune bringing it up to speed.

Figures are Alpine figures, my favorite. All painting done with Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics, with finishing completed with MIG products.

Ferdinand by Gary Boggs

This is the Dragon Ferdinand, built by North Texas master modeler Gary Boggs. Gary built this tank killer out of my stash for my collection in 2010.

Out of the box build with some scratch-building. Finished with Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics, and topped off with MIG weathering products.

Tiger I Late - s.SS-Pz. Abt. 101

We'll get things rolling at DRMM with a build I completed a few years ago.

This is the Tamiya late Tiger from Normandy, 1944, s.SS-Pz. Abt. 101. Third party add-ons include Cavalier zimmerit, Tiger Model Designs asymetrical turret, Verlinden interior, Verlinden engine and engine bay, Eduard photo-etch and metal barrel, Fruil tracks, and Techmod decals. The figure if I remember correctly is a Warriors release. All painting was done with Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics, with finishing applied using MIG products.
