Hi. I model mostly W.W.II stuff with the accent on German vehicles. I like to build them operational, but with some light and minor damage. Have yet to build anything that has been 'knocked out' or destroyed. Number one, because I'm not that good a modeler and number two, because once a vehicle is destroyed it somehow loses it's appeal to me, no matter what the subject matter may be.

Take care, sgirty

Depends on what's new and hot.....generally I would say AFV....though lately that includes soft skins.....4 months ago, it would have been 350 scale ships as the Essex had come out and I had just built the Arizonza and Mighty Mo

:-) My main theme is Aircraft WWII, all types, all nations in 1/48 scale. I will also do the occasional modern or early jet. :-)

Hi there

Wel it's mostly aircraft... predominently WW2 - but I extend that either side into Golden Age (1930s) and Post-War (Early-Jets etc.) stuff... :-)

Being a total "newbie" on Armorama, I'm yet to prove it, but I love to go go for what some folks call the "weird sh*t" .... give me a "short-run" or vacu-form kit of some lesser-known type and I'm a happy little Rowbags!

That's not to say I haven't got a bunch of armour models (and even a motor-bike!!) for "light relief".

All the best

Mostly WW2 armor from any of the participating nations ... no favorite. Have gotten more interested in softskins lately ... especially plain lorries and egineering vehicles. Not limited to this alone ........ will attempt modern if it has appeal. Have bought a classic sail ship "the Vasa" to have a go on ........ the museum is here in Stockholm, so I would like to give this the full whack... but have zero knowledge on building ships. Not interested in aircraft, but some of those recent 1/35 helicopters have been apetising!

WW2 AFVs, mostly British and Commonwealth. Usually 1/35th scale but moved recently to braille scale due to to unemployment leading to no spare dosh.

Emphasis on Naval/Marine Air. WWII to Iraqi Freedom. However lately with so many great kits in all era's of all nations. It's just really hard to stick to the main theme. :-) So it's aircraft in 72nd,48th and a dabble of 32nd scale.

I'm into all modern armor, all nations, though recently I have given WW2 German armor a shot and must say I am rather enjoying that...who knows, maybe I will switch my emphasis.

I don't really have a theme as such..I just buy what looks cool in the shop. Considering that my last model was an Academy P-38J and I'm now working on a Dragon M270 MLRS, I don't think I have much of a theme going, (though I do seem to have a lot of radial-engined WW2 aircraft on my display shelves .......)
