This page and contains some other model photos and stuff you might find amusing including some photos of my cat Budda, who is a very silly and rather large moggy! He likes boxes, comfy chairs and sitting in front of the fire. Here are two photos of him:

Budda is here sitting on a pile of books that I was sorting out on the kitchen table, he made himself very much at home on them shortly after this was taken and went to sleep.

Budda is in one of his favorite places; a fruit and veg box, he just about fits in and feels safe in it, he can also watch the cat flap to see if next doors cat, Claws is trying to come in.

Another photo of the daft thing!

Here are some other photos of my models:

A detailed Airfix 1/32nd scale Crusader III, still the best kit of this tank ever produced, even if it does not match the common 1/35th scale.

Image of an old Churchill AVRE MK IV conversion using the Tamiya kit I made back in the 80's. It's not that good compared to what I could do now, but I know a lot more about the Churchill and have a lot more information now than I did then. Please see my article on the Churchill on this site.

An Italeri/Dragon Stug B, made up as the early model B using metal Ausf A type wheels and changes to stowage.

Tamiya’s 1/35th scale Cromwell built using the kit decals, but with stowage and detail corrections to better represent the original vehicle of 22nd Armoured Brigade disabled at Villers Bocage. The photo of the real tank from a book is positioned behind it.

Tamiya’s 1/35th scale Centaur IV built using the kit decals, but with markings, stowage and detail corrections, plus modified figures to better represent the original vehicle of The Royal Marines Support Group. A photocopy of the real tank from a book is attached to the base.

A model of the German Mobelwagen SdKfz 161/3 made from the Tamiya kit, with an Italeri Hull and a metal Flak 43 conversion set. The model is based on a vehicle in the winter of 1944/45, with the crew scaning the skies for Allied Jabo's

A model of Tamiya's armoured cab SdKfz 7 Flak 37 kit, with solid wood sides rather than the kit mesh parts, detailed with Model Kasten tracks and made to show a generic vehicle abandoned in a dug in position in Eastern Europe in the winter of 1944/45 during the great Soviet advances. The fire damage was done with pastels and the tyre wrecked with a hot screw driver.
