OK JACK I understand an Pete such a shame as all that work that's gone into these models an these ones are toon ones ernt they I exhibit my model ships an the genral public always like them as they cant wait to see them sail on the pond an in a model show always askin questions about the model so the model has a life after the build

Hi Chris,
I have a few models standing above my workspace,


And some dioramas are put in a bookcase in the attic, they still need a background panel to make them better looking...
I have a lot of space left for models because I have a very low 'finished-output'


Cheers and kind regards,
Steven

Afternoon Chris

Most of mine are paint stripped then re-used for further practice so yes thrown out soon after, but kept some. The Pz IV fell off and lots of bits fell off lol







Chris, can you spot the beauty, another 4 Stugs in the queue for paint then weathering

For you Chris a few Stug books, got a few more as well



you may be surprised that there is only 1 Stug?

On another not to be mentioned site, I did start a Stug fest, intending to build every version and some others with field mods also including history and explanations as to the differences as each version was built

but not sure if that would go down well on this site????

My pleasure Chris, good thread to post by way

The stug is the well known Tamiya G, not accurate but a joy to build. Got three in the stash!! I find the kits are great to practice new ideas!

If there is enough interest i might re start the Stug fest!

Mine are all on shelves. I've only been building a couple of years, even so I'm already running out of room so will need to add more shelving soon.

Very impressive display, do you like dusting lol

[Guest]

Now that's more like it Jakko that what I was on about seein the models on show

This is just part of it, these are on top of the large, high cabinet in the living room, but putting it all in the photo would not show the models very well. I have more models in other cabinets, on shelves, and also packed in cardboard boxes in the loft.

that tank at the back second left with the big slab sideded turret must have been quite a target in real its a Russian isn't it ?

It is, yes. It’s a KV with Big Turret (that’s what the Russian name translates as — the slightly later variant was the KV-2, which looks almost identical) from the early years of the Second World War. Armed with a 152 mm gun to blow up Finnish defences, but as you say it was mostly a big target for German guns in 1941.
