and last but not least is a little Panzer II, painted in Afrika Korp livery, the tank is complete but I'm still working on the commander figure, this too will receive a vignette base. And that's it for now...how I spent my summer vacation

Next up is a German halftrack used as a armored troop carrier, this is a work in progress as the vehicle needs a little more weathering and the figure painting is not finished. This too will receive a base but something that represents the Russian steppes outside Stalingrad

Didn't do any ships over the summer but did hit the model stash again...drug out some Tamiya military kits, I've had these in storage from the mid 80's. First up is a Sherman representing a vehicle from the 5th cav division late in the war. Kit was built box stock the focus was on paint and weathering, kit figure was done with artist oils. Eventually I'll mount this on a vignette base...probably a cobblestone road

Gotta dig the camera out, probably this week end

Well if I had another kit laying around I’d consider it, I was digging through the stash again and came up with some armor and other military subjects. Benn besting on some of that stuff

Lol...thx much, got some stuff to post in the non ship section but gotta get some pics first. Not sure what ship may be next, it will be a scratch build though, that I’m sure of. I see you’ve been busy.

Hi Oliver feel free to add anything you would like, but may I suggest you start a log of your own, we would all be interested in seeing your Aglis

A couple shots of the ratlines in process nothing to exciting just a bunch of cow and clove hitches And for the moment you've all been waiting for... my I present for your viewing enjoyment... JUMBO THE CLIPPER... I must say for all trouble early on I think this turned out to be a fairly good looking model, . I'm happy with the overall look and glad I decided to change the rigging, both the style and the dimensions. Though I will say I don't think I'll be looking for any more 50+ year old kits anytime soon! I want to thank all of you who have followed along and taken the time to hit the like button and comment. A special thanks to Popeye for joining me in a dual build, was fun and I hope you all enjoyed it as much as me, and also for poking me to get the build started in the first place, thanks my friend. This will be it for me for a while, RV season is starting up and the road calls.

Thanks Denis...ya she went up quick once all the funky wood was in the rear view, you're adding a lot more detail and changes then I chose to, Jumbo is pretty close to box shock.
