Here's a japanese websited that shows some impressive scratchbuilding work of (mostly) German WWII armor on 1/35. This modeler reaches a degree of perfection that is rarely seen !
To make your mouth water :
It would almost be a shame to paint this huh ?
... and here's the whole site !
KUNIHITU : Japanese site with scratchbuilding examples
Though the text is in Japanese, you can learn a lot from the pictures. Select a model, and click the "next" button a the bottom.
For those who want to learn about scratchbuilding, I recommend EVERY page of this site !

Very nice work and good step-by-step photography. And it highlights something very important about modeling: it can transcend the barriers of human language!
