    Here's a bunch of models I made up until graduating high school. These are just the ones that I feel folks will like. I've got more, but I got outta hand with "creativity" on some.

    ___1:35 Scale___

    BMP-1 MICV





    M48A3 Patton Medium Tank
    -Made a GAU-13 .50 caliber gatling gun out of spare parts, mounted on TC's copula.
    -Gas-tank thing on back is made from sprue (holds parts prior to assembly) and those little absorby-things that come in aspirin bottles.
    -Shovel front thing is made from sprue and thick paper.






    ___1:72nd Scale___

    Kamov KA50 Werewolf (NATO name Hokum)




    NASA's X15, Fastest atmospheric vehicle (Reecord was mach 6.7 IIRC)


    ___1:Something Scale___

    Hawker Hurricane


    Tempest



    ___1:144th Scale___



    Aircraft:

    McDonnell Douglas F4 Phantom


    F5


    YF23 ATF



    Mitsubishi G4M "Betty" Bomber



    Messerschmitt Bf 109 G6



    Messerschmitt Me 262

    Messerschmitt Me 262 A1a/U1 Nightfighter





    Armor:

    Panzerkampfwagen (PzKw) VI "Tiger", Ausf. E, 8.8cm KWK/PaK41



    Panzerkampfwagen VI "Tiger 2", 8.8cm PaK43



    Panzerkampfwagen V "Panther" Ausf. G, 7.5cm KwK 42 L/70



    IS-2 Iosef Stalin Heavy Tank, 122mm Main gun




    Compared to a bottle cap


    I think the four tanks are 1:144th, but I lost the boxes, so I'm not 100% sure.

    Picture quality isn't so great. Took the shots on my kitchen table.

    Thanks dude. The Hokum was the only helicopter that survived moving from one house to another.

    Great models there mate. Nicely done. Here is something I like to call Photo Realism. This is a vignette I had done a long time ago. It was taken outside with a very poor 2MP camera but the effects are pretty much realistic. The sun was setting and I took the photographs sporatically. The results is what you see.

    The model above took me about a week. It all depends on how much detail I put into the work. The PLS M1074 took me about 20 days.
