Hi Everyone,

The title conjures images of something Sci-Fi but in fact reflects a distant period when I seemed to have more time to indulge my hobbies.

You may have seen an earlier entry from me under the build diaries which explains for many a year now I have been dropping into the forum and taking out (in the way of information) a whole lot more than I have ever contributed. SO with that in mine I thought it might be nice to share some of my completed model builds that I have worked on over the years.

Many of you may recognise some of these kits as being very early examples of Tamiya and while not up to the standards of today’s kits they were really not bad for their time.

Excuse the base board being used for a multitude of various vehicles here (cannot seem to find the other boards I had). I used to make up a sort of picture frame base and these base boards could then be dropped in the represent a variation of scenes to suit the subject being modelled.

Apologies for some of the poor quality of my images - something else I need to practice.

Hope you might find these on some interest.

Kind regards

Tony

Really appreciate your comments. Must admit that the commander in the JTiger does look a "bit Suspect" but seem to have misplaced my figure for this one.

He should be in a Tiger with his hand on the cupola lid - in this pose he seems to be doing the old Max Bygraves - "I wanna Tell you a story" - seem to recall he was quite animate with his hands LOL

Thanks for looking in on these pictures.

Kind regards

Tony
