We need more pics of your work!
Here's a quick photo of a couple of 3d prints from Shapeways. A VK30.02 (DB) the Daimler Benz prototype that lost out to the MAN design that became the Panther. Plus a Sd.Kfz 254 an Austrian design that could run on tracks or wheels.

Plus a few links to a few of my previous posts on this forum that show some of my stuff.

Nice work Gazza! I am intrigued by your use of wall filler for your infantry bases. I may need to look into that because I'm never very happy with how my infantry stands look.

BTW - I also do my fixed wing aircraft at 1/600 scale. I want to have enough aircraft for some decent size air battles, but at 1/285 scale that's just too expensive.

This is the stuff I'm currently using. It was cheap and has worked fine so far.

A few more photos of some WIP and recently finished aircraft.

A snapshot of the rather disorganised pile of stuff to the right of my desk (a couple of months back).
Image

Twelve 1/600th Hadrian gliders that I painted for a mate. The first six have invasion stripes on the upper wings as I had a few decals left over after doing my 1/600th C-47s.
Image

I'm currently painting 12 Horsa gliders for the same person. Below these you can see some of the M113s (and variants) of my '67-73 Jordanians.
Image

Finally, for now, four photos of some Scotia Lancasters with Grandslam bombs. Decals by Scale Specialties.

Those are great looking aircraft, Gazza! The paint work is excellent.

Thanks for the kind comments.

Here's a quick shot of company of WW2 Soviet naval Infantry I finished recently. The figures are by the UK-based company 2D6 Wargaming. I've just sent off for a company's worth of their Fallschirmjagers.

Good looking infantry Gazza! That's crazy that you even got the stripes on their uniforms!

Sorry, but going back up to your aircraft pics - what is that big 6-engine monster on the left side of your desk?

That's the Messerschmitt 323, a powered development of the Me 321 glider. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messersch ... 323_Gigant

I have a need for M88s for several of my projects, but the M578s that come with them get no love in my collection. In an effort to remedy that situation, if just a little bit, I have prepared a recovery medley with several different paint jobs. They will be joining the official inventory tonight: green vehicles to Task Force Grizzly and the tan vehicles to Task Force Nomad.

Those M578 look nice, especially those for TF Grizzly. Nomad, too.

Gazza your aircraft look great! I really like the gliders! I bought the same naval infantry, but haven’t started them yet. What was your painting scheme?

Chris and Red, great looking stuff as well. Thanks for posting.
