SPA Modeler

Here are my first armor to be completed for 2015. These bring my count up to 668 completed armor models. Maybe I should start saying "completed ground vehicles" since these aren't armored at all.

Anyway, here is my 1/72 scale ACE British Forlite Staff Car. This is done as a BEF staff car. I kept it pretty clean since the staffer that drives this is also responsible for keeping it clean:





Next is my 1/72 scale Roden German Opel L-39 (Late model) Bus: Done up in camouflage seen in Italy in '43:





Finally I have the 1/72 scale Roden Strassenzepp touring bus. This is done in metallic red over chrome silver:





Here's a better shot of the front grill too:



I've already fixed that cocked wheel... several times. It doesn't show in the pics, but it is straight now.


Just for fun, here's a shot of all four of the Roden buses that I've built so far:



All I need now are the two Ludwig buses and the new Vomag bus they just released. Hopefully I'll be able to get them all soon so I can complete the entire Roden bus line.

I also completed three aircraft, feel free to check them out in the Aircraft Forum. Meanwhile, thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

I think your signature says it all! The touring bus is something else! Others are weathered to perfection.

That strassen Zeppelin looks very cool, with those Art Deco lines and colours.

Now those are way off the beaten path! Another nice batch of builds!

Thanks guys!

I also like the Strassenzepp bus. It was truly a challenging model to paint, but I'm happy with the results.

I agree Carlos. These are certainly something you don't see every day. I'm always glad to build interesting and different subjects.

Thank you all very much!

A beautiful collection of buses! Very well build and painted! They all make me wish some of them (Strassenzeppelin!!!) would be available as injection moulded kits in my preferred scale 1/35.

Thanks Thomas! That is certainly a reversal; of fortune; I'm usually wishing that at least 20 1/35th scale subjects would be shrunk down to my preferred scale...

I appreciate the compliment. Hopefully I'll get more done soon.

You are welcome, Duke!
I see that at least the Opel Blitz bus will be done in 1/35 scale by ICM one day...

Nice! That will be interesting to see built up one day.

Nice looking stuff,off to a fast start.
