My bad. I did not answer your 2nd question. The grey Panzer IV is a Monogram kit. The Panzer II is a Tamiya kit. Tamiya kits are my favorite. IMHO, the best bang for your buck.

In combat, it's has been said that the Panzer IV had the perfect combination of speed, agility, firepower (75mm main gun),
and reliability.

Nice work on the tank models. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Cool kittens.
Looks good.
Nice model. I don’t think that I would have the patience to sit and do one these days.
Cool thread Dave.

Yes, it does require a lot of time and patience. Especially with some of the new techniques that I am trying. But the work is broken up into many stages due to paint drying times and such. But to me it is very fun and relaxing. Especially when combined with some good beer!
Ditto.
My father in law flew P-40s against Rommel in Africa and in Italy.
You do nice work!

I found out that in the Lord Of The Rings movies that they did use models for some of the city scenes like the huge walls and towers. I was surprised.

It was the best party that I have ever been to. And there were a lot of them! The funny thing is that now at age 52, I sometimes get hangovers when I was not even drinking the night before!

Thank you sir for your compliments. And to @shm for your like. I am going to try to post some photos of the projects that I am working on tomorrow to show what I have done so far. I still got a lot of work to do. The tracks, airbrush fading[Makes the paint, have that sun bleached blotchy look],paint chipping,detail painting and dirt effects. I like my tank models just like I like my women. Kind of dirty!
Very nice. You are one talented guy.
Many years ago I got into building tall ships. I would go down to what was then the South Street Seaport in NYC and buy a wooden model ship kit. Back in those days before it became a tourist trap, there was a model shop in one of the stores. There was a very talented model maker who would give you advice and hints. I found it therapeutic and most of the ships would take several months to complete.

A lot of people think that I have patience to do models. But I have great respect for wooden ship modelers! I may try a simple one at some point. Maybe a Viking ship. I am also just getting back into figures as well. I have not done any figures since about 1984! I was pretty good. But there are some real masters out there. I just finished a dragon slayer figure that goes with my Dragonslayer kit. I have already posted photos of the dragon. Anyhow, here it is. Not to bad for my first one in decades. It is very hard for me to do a 2 inch tall figure. My hands are not as steady as they used to be. Eyesight not as good. As you can see the eyes are off. I did not notice this until the blown up photo. I should have had a few stiff drinks before!
