When I was younger I built mostly 1/35 scale armor, 1/72 scale aircraft and 1/700 scale waterline ships. May get back into the 1/35 and 1/700 scale stuff later but for right know its 1/72.
I am working on a diorama that I have had floating around in my head for 25 or so years. I have started it over and over several times. I got the idea from a very old Airfix kit that had a couple of British vehicles and guns around a North African (Libyan) building that had one end blown out. Due to the internet I have a super abundance of reference material to work with. I also like to use this reference material to scratch build from. I have cast a few sets of wheels, axles and such so that I can build models that you can't get through the wholesale/retail market. I am a retired jeweler and have plenty of tools of the type that make it a little easier and believe it or not I have hung onto the airbrush compressor that I bought when I was in my early 20s. Damn, that was a long time ago.
I'll start with the building used for head quarters for a repair outfit, 1941 North Africa.
Anyway here are a few pics of what I am working on.
