I've kept a spreadsheet tracking all of my builds since re-entering the hobby in 2002 and the total built kits (including some wingy thingies) stands at 94...so I'll only show the most recent stuff that's in the protective cases. Wink [;)] I apologise for the difficult view/angle, but since the cases have a mirrored back, it was tough to get a good shot with the lighting and at least allow the items in the case to be seen vs. what's being reflected from the mirror. Laugh [(-D]

Not pictured but under its own case is a BR-52 pulling a Pz IV-E on a flat car along with a low-sided car with a Flak 38 and other gear as a small dio. I also have a 1/35 Leopopld sitting over my desk along with 11 other various vehicles sitting on the desk shelves as well.

Yeah, it is a Krupp Protze. Built it so long ago, can't even remember what it was called... Dunce [D)]

 Hermes,Another great collection! I do believe that is a Krupp vehicle thoughWink [;)] I'm really loving that Elefant. I'm a pretty big fan of anything that has to do with the battle of Kursk.

Doc, Thanks, I thought it was a Hetzer, I though the E-25 was MUCH larger than that! Ah well, I might look into getting a kit for that now. Since it wasnt in production, it would allow for alot of imagination.

Well, here's my collection, in chronological order from when I started four years ago up to my latest one. Most of these have been sold, so they technically aren't part of my collection anymore, but since I built them I figure they still count.

I have 11 more over 90% complete...but as I get better, I build slower and don't call it done as soon as I used to Wink [;)]

 

Opel Blitz truck, Eastern Front 1944

 

StuG III, Oberwachtmeister Hugo Primozic, Eastern Front 1944

KV-II, Finland 1940

 

Panther G Late, III SS Pz.Div. Totenkopf - Budapest 1945

 

M3 Stuart, Imperial Japanese Army - Phillippines 1945

 

Marder III,  Panzerjager Abtielung Das Reich - Germany 1945

 

Tiger I Late Version, Haupsturmfuhrer Michael Wittman - Villiers-Bocage, Normandy, 1944

 

M4A3 Sherman (105mm Assault Support), 756th Tank Btn. - Germany 1945

 

Tiger II Ausf B, sPzAbt 506 - Berlin area, 1945

 

SdKfz 184 Ferdinand, sPzJgAbt 653 - Kursk 1943

 

Hopefully you can see at least some improvement, I do think I've gotten better since that decidedly mediocre Opel Blitz Wink [;)]

 Lot's of cool stuff!

  Ernest, That's Cyberhobbies "Aufklarungpanzer", I believe four made it off of the production line.

 

  Alex, It's kind of a Hetzer on steroids. It's Trumpeter's E25 Aufs.B, never made it out of production. 

All gave some and some gave all.

Hey guys, lots of responses pretty quickly! Thanks for posting everyone, I'd be really happy to see even more pics come in. Everyones collections look great.

Doc, I love that Hetzer, what kit is that?

Bufflehead, Beautiful Tiger tank two-tone camo scheme. The open-top vehicle in my photo is Trumpeter's Sturer Emil kit, pretty easy to find since it is the only one available.

RBaer, Great stuff man, I wish I had a nice display case such as yours!

Minimortar, WOW

Agentg, Nice work on the troop carrier, the name escapes me, but I do know it is currently in service in Iraq.

Detailfreak, Beautiful StuGs, among other things. Keep em' comin'!

Agentg has a good idea too. What lives on your desk? Here's my desktop companion. It's white metal, so it's also useful as a paperweight......oh well, can't get in to photobucket at the moment......

Just about my entire collection (with some arty and softskins mixed in) can be seen here... Most of them completed oh so long ago.

Thanks,

Ttman, doc, nice collections you both have there!  There's a strange vehicle (to me) in each collection...Ttman, what's that huge gray open topped vehicle?  Is it a Dicker Max?   Doc, you've also got an open topped vehicle on a Pz.38(t) chassis....???

This is an older photo, but it hasn't changed much.  Unfinished builds on top, finished on the bottom

This is the newest addition.

Lets see what everyones interests are, what everyones quality of work is like or was like since alot of people put there models on the shelf in chronological order. Lets see your tanks!Thumbs Up [tup]
