My latest build is the Sd.Kfz. 7 half-track I have been building it since the 16/09/07. Unfortunately, I haven't had a lot of time to spend on it, but I hope this will change in 2008.

I am not doing it as an SS unit this time, it will be based on a Sd.Kfz. 7 half-track of the Artillery Regiment 146 (mot), attached to the 16.Infanterie-Division (mot) or Das Windhund. Winter 1942-43 at the River Mius, near Mariupol, the southern sector. This is due to the fact I had a very nice militaria find, which was an officers chest that was full of maps, diaries, paper work and a tunic, all named to a Hauptmann Heinrich Schmeermann.              

I have also built a 1/6th scale Armortek Tiger 1, follow the link to see the build. Early Tiger 1 Build

My Tiger is based on a early variant Tiger I Ausf E (circa May 1943) complete with drum cupola,  Feifel air filters, smoke dischargers and “S” mine launchers, it is made from aluminium and will weigh approximately 160kg. My Tigers Number will be 1321, and it fought on the eastern front, in Operation Zitadelle (KURSK) It was Commanded By SS-Untersturmführer Helmet "BUBI" Wendorff, of the 13. Panzer kompanie (Schwere) SS Panzer Regiment LAH, ZUG II, Kursk 1943.

Also see some of my Militaria collection, I have added some little bits of my collecting knowledge to the pictures. If there was one thing I could say to some one staring a collection, it would be, ask other collectors who the trust worthy dealers are and get to know them, because there are so many fakes out there, you don't want to waste your money. I have a few names on my links page that you can trust, please feel free to mention me when you contact them.
