A general heading for all sorts, but mainly post Second World War vehicles. I may be led astray of course.
I don't seem to have posted for a while, so here are a couple.
Italeri Chaffee
Revell( actually and old Monogram- came with the Jeep) M24 tactical Truck.
Looking great - YOU led astray - jumping onto a different type/style/topic of models well I have never seen that - hohohohhoho
They look good Zak.

Hi Zak,
Agree with Bob, they do look good.
Another inspired set of models yet to come........?
Cheers,
Kevin
Thanks all for the comments, I have been really impressed with Bob's photos, very atmospheric indeed. I have looked for photos of Chaffe Tanks in Korea for inspiration, most are black and white and many show snow scenes.
Here my Chaffee, no snow just black and white.
Like Bobs photos it gives atmosphere to the model and I think takes it to another level :) :)
Very nice Dave. It seems that we will all have to improve our photography to to compete with you and Bob.
It Bob's photos that are excellent.
Here is the latest, this is from Revell, a Patton M47.
Hi Zak,
Looks very good.
Are you going to try a black and white photo?
Cheers Kevin

I could do.
Hi Zak,
Yep, that looks good.
Kevin
Very nice Dave, the black and white photo's do look of the period.

So what can this be?

Funny, you saying that, it is one of the games I really hate playing. So guess what, my granddaughters always want to play it!
Layer of brown parcxel tape followed by Polytex, now it has to set and see what it looks like.
Photos look great Dave. The mystery object looks like some covers or possibly a tent.

No, its too big for a tent.
It will involve a tank.
Is it going to be a revetment?
Sort of for a semi recessed tank in wait?

Correct.
Base colour applied.
Grass, stage 1.
Last time I saw something like that, I think I eat it - hohhoho - food at sea was sometimes not good :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[
More grass added, still more to go.
Looking very nice Dave. One for Telford?

I don't think so.
This was the inspiration.
A good rendition of a period photograph.
Funny how they inspire us.
Nice work,
Kevin
It's looking good Dave.
I think it looks great Dave.
Bob c
So do I, great work.
Thanks for the comments.

Some research suggest that US tank aerials came in 3 ft sections, the most common 9ft, they then stick up a long way, not easy for model transportation.
Good diorama and background Dave. Can't wait for the figures.

Only one!
Hi Zak,
That looks great with that backdrop.
It's amazing how it all works together.
Kevin
This is an M4A3E8 Sherman, Inchon landing Korea 1950.
An Italeri kit.
Still to be weathered.
Figure added.
Both look excellent Dave. Figure and background look good.
Looking good, I must try and source some scenic backgrounds they do make a difference.
Looks great Dave, that was a quick Sherman build.

Not really, working on it whilst doing others, I put one aside to dry and get on with another, so usually 3 or 4 on the go at once.
Dry brushed and weathered, almost finished.
Well I think that will be it.
Coat of varnish maybe.
Nicely done there Zak.
Excellent.
Here is the Tamiya M48A3 Patton, faults and all, still some work to do.
Nice work, Zak.
Looks good Dave.
Just about finished.
Nicely photographed.
Now its onto the Tamiya M26 Pershing from Inchon in the Korean War.
This will be a Marines vehicle.
Both the Sherman and the M48A3 look really good and nicely posed. I was thinking of getting a M48 and turning it into one used by the Israeli.
Bob c
I look forward to seeing that, I think I may try some Israeli stuff sometime. They seem to modify whatever they take on.
I gather they had some M10's they messed about with - replaced things and improved them.
Here is the Pershing, needs more work yet.
Wow what a production line.
Bob c
Very nice work.
A lot of good detail there.
Kevin
Looks good Dave.
