Default WW2 modeling

Here is one of my other hobbies that I enjoy from time to time.

What I love the most about plastic models is that besides building it, which is time consuming but therapeutic , one gets to see the project through to completion and finish the model the way one imagines it and sees it.

My favorite plastic modeling subject is WW2 armor and vehicles. Both Axis and Allies. Since the armor/vehicles were never spotless and clean, having seen some really rough action and battles, it adds a whole other dimension as to how to "weather" and add "wear/tear" to the models for more realism to a plastic model.

I've only started enjoying this hobby recently and it was a steep learning skill with building, air brushing, weathering, etc... It is a time consuming hobby for sure. So far I'm having a lot of fun with it.

Some pics.


Soviet WW2 T-34/76 tank. It is not only the most produced tank of the WWII-era, with 84,000 built (compared to the 48,966 Shermans of all versions) but also one of the longest-serving tanks ever built.
