It’s been a very productive year. I want to thank everyone for your support. I’m happy to share my works here and appreciate that most enjoy a look forward to whenever I post my latest build.
I wish you all the best going into 2026. Here’s a look back at my builds in 2025…
And for the final build of the year, finished just today…

The Sd.Kfz. 251 (Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251) was a World War II German half-tracked armoured personnel carrier. Designed by the Hanomag company to transport the Panzergrenadier (German mechanized infantry) into battle, the Sd.Kfz. 251 was based on its earlier unarmored Sd.Kfz. 11 vehicle. Sd.Kfz. 251s were the most widely produced German half-tracks of the war, with at least 15,252 vehicles and variants produced by seven manufacturers.

A member since early 2009 and less than 500 posts, you’re right, you really don’t post much.
But I appreciate your kind words and I’m glad you enjoy my work.

Models are models but your attention to detail and painting is absolutely impeccable and makes these cream of the crop.
Well done and Happy New Year. I look forward to seeing what you have lined up for 2026.
BTW I’m surprised you haven’t done a WW2 motorcycle yet

Very cool man. What do you do with the finished products? Sell them or keep them?

Thanks. I’ve built a couple of commission pieces. But I mainly build for myself and keep them on shelves in my model room. Here are a couple of my shelves.
