Very nice scene, Duke. Are those Tamiya figures? They look real similar to ones I assembled many moons ago. The Mk.4 looks real good, too. Is it also Tamiya? -- Al

Thanks lancer.

All of the figures are Tamiya and the tank is from Italeri, 1/35 scale. I built these and painted them over 10 years ago or so and just decided to get them out of the closet for some photos.

I thought those figures were Tamiya. I had quite a Tamiya collection I put together and painted about 40 eek years ago. They are great kits and I loved doing them. Unfortunately I failed to save them. I never built any Italeri but I understand they are great kits, too. -- Al

I also built many Tamiya kits years ago. Italeri makes good kits as well, but Tamiya was always my favorite. I still have a large 1/35 collection of Tamiya, Italeri, Dragon, etc. that I haven't built yet, some of them I've had for years. I just don't seem to have the time or patience to continue my building/painting. I keep telling myself I will one day, so I continue to hang on to my old kits.

Thanks Ken.

I really want to get back into building and painting models. I have so many I bought years ago that are still in their boxes. I had ideas for several dioramas from all theaters of WWII. Maybe getting out some of my old finished pieces will now encourage me to take it back up again.

This must be a common affliction, Duke. I, too, collected unbuilt kits (WW1 aircraft) from many different makers, for years. My plan was to hit retirement and build them when I had time. Never happened. I had 50+ kits and never got to any of them. Sold or traded them all 5 or so years ago as I restarted collecting TS. Interest just changed. -- Al
