Well, I guess since the last build I posted on here was from the dark Side, I guess I should first post what heavy metal I have been building over the last few months.
The first armour build after the panther was the old Tamiya Su-85, in German markings, obviously.
Next up, another Tamiya kit, the Marder III Ausf M. I have not yet got round to completing the dio for this one.
And I ended up the 2014 with my all time favourite AFV, an Sd.Kfz 251. In this case, the AFV Club /3 Ausf D.
Thanks for looking, more armour to come soon, I hope.

Good to see you back on here Bish! I had seen the SU-85 before, but not the 251 or the Marder IIIM. Nice work there on all three!

Thanks guys.
Well, as it happens Jim, I started on a Jagdpanther last week, so will post a thread in the WiP section soon. last year was heavy on the armour for me, but this year its going to be a bit thin on the ground.

Nice work! I especially love the SU-85 diorama. I love the concept of it being re-marked.

I believe those are a fine a set of build as I'v seen! Tremendous.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: Whats been keeping me busy.
All three of them are just wonderful builds and sets. I also like the Balkenkreuz just being painted on the SU-85. What I could not see to be sure are the exhausts: are these slightly rusted and show some exhaust plume?
I wonder if you did scratch build the diorama pieces on the 251 set. Those walls look really interesting with this vehicle nearby! Up to your Jagdpanther! A vehicle that I always had a soft spot for!

Re: Whats been keeping me busy.
Thomas, thanks. No ,the wall and gate are from Mk 35 Editions, its a really nice set. I ain't up to the level of scratching those yet, but maybe some day.
