| Two Churchill's from Hasegawa. The Mk.II is straight out of the box and the Mk.I got scratchbuild wading equipment and homemade decals for a Dieppe Raid Churchill. |

| A34 Comet from Matchbox. No messing around with conversions her. Just a quick build, straight out of the box. |
 |
| The GAZ-67 from Fort. I think it is offered under a couple of other lables as well. This is a a kit that I built without conversions. I added the base from a Matchbox kit and some figures from Esci. Please give us a Jeep from the same company! |

| The GAZ-67 is the Fort kit. It is a real beauty. Perhaps not the easiest to build but I didn't use
much filler though. The GAZ-44 ambulance started as a AER GAZ-5 lorry kit. I then scratch built a ambulancebody. Since this was a wood body I used the wartime production truck that also used wood. I experimented with my printer in this conversion and draw the ambulancebody in the computor so that I could write out the tempates on plastic card. I woul then only have to inscribe the planking following the lines printed on the card. It was not a full success. When I tried to print on a 0,75mm card the color ribbon broke, same thing on a 0,5mm card. It worked with a 0.25mm card but then I had to laminate this to a thicker card. To bad, but I heard the newer type of Alpsprinter can handle thick plasticcard. |
Here are the templates of the ambulancebody.They look big when you open them, but when I printed them out
trough a graphic program they came out in 1/72. I can't guarantie that they are 100% correct for a ZIS-44 but looks allright to me. Floorbeams Floor Front wall Rear wall Right wall Roof Left wall |

| A couple fueltrucks from AER. The 2 axle one is a ZIS-5BZ and the 3 axle is a BZ-35. For some reason I like fuel trucks. I have the RAF set from Airfix waiting, and I must try to find Hasegawa´s Japanese fueltruck as well. Then I would need an American fuel truck and then.... |

 |
| This is a homebrew. After building the 3 axle BZ-35 and a Zis-44 with
wartime fenders I had enough leftovers to start thinking. I couldnt let all that go to waste, could I? I had a rear axle with springs, an engine, frontfenders and a complete cargobay. Wheels from a 1/87 scale truck had the right size so what should I build? I had seen a armoured "Gun portee" built on a GAZ truck in 1/35 scale and wanted something similar. I built the chassie frame of plastic strips and the armoured cabin of plasticcard. I added a machinegun from a Esci T-34 |

 While Germany and Soviet still were "friends" the German 37mm AT gun was produced in Soviet and developed into a 45mm gun. I took the same path and built the 45mm AT gun from a German 37mm gun. The new barrel is from an Airfix Sdkfz 234/4 and I made new rims for the wheels. |

| An AER ZIS-6 truck with a snowplough from an old Roco 1/87 model. I used cat litter, different sizes of ballast and micro balloons for the snow. |
T-34/76
| This is a T-34/76 from Esci painted as a Moscow defender. I rather like this wintercamo that I found on a color profile in a book. I havn't seen a photo of it so perhaps it isn't accurate. No I havn't made decals this time. I handpainted the numbers. |
