1/72 Bf109 G-6: Tamiya War Bird #90
A really nice model — like any of the Tamiya War Bird Collection that I have built — can create an interesting psychological challenge for me.

1/72 British in Normandy Collection
In this diorama I wanted to showcase mainly the British vehicles I have recently completed.

This kit, representative of Airfix’s new generation of products, made for a very satisfying build.
El Alamein Train Station Diorama, 1/72
My son previously posted his vision of the Italeri El Alamein Battle Set, in full battle mode. Here I have tried to create a more mundane scene around the station building, as well as a few shots of the British troops and vehicles that came in the set.
