No. It’s a Tamiya kit. I think it’s one of their earlier ones.

Sorry for a stupid question, but where do you put all the amazing finished products?

Yeah, wild—it's an optical illusion or something. Looks better close up.

I want to see your build an another Elefant tank destroyer.
The Ferdinand/Elefant may have been the most successful mass-produced tank destroyer employed during the war in kills per loss, reaching an average claimed ratio of approximately 10:1. During the Battle of Kursk, sPzJgrAbt 653 claimed to have knocked out 320 enemy tanks, for the loss of 13 Ferdinands.

I shall only spend at most one to one and a half days a week working on a model. I started this one yesterday morning about 8:00 AM and worked on it while watching football until about 5:00 PM when we had to leave for my daughter’s cheer competition. We don’t get back until almost 1:00 AM, so we skipped church this morning. That meant instead of getting to my model desk about 1:00 PM, as is the norm on Sunday, I started work about 9:30 AM. By about 4:00 PM I was done. So, all in on this build was about 15-16 hours, give or take
But it was a fairly simple build. I’d say on average it takes closer to 30-40 hours on a more detailed build like these for example…
Builds like these take longer.

My model room, actually my son’s old bedroom, is where I build and display them.
Build them here…
Display them here…

Because I see it as spamming the board. No one gives a shite about this dude’s toy collection.
Personally I enjoy these posts.
Why be so negative?

I’ll have to check, but I may have one in my stash. I do want to to build another one, it’s been probably 2-3 years since I built one.

But you are going to need a bigger boat! I would love to see you get into ships, I know it's not your thing.

I do have two battleships in my stash. One is a tiny USS South Dakota and the other is a WWI era German dreadnaught thats pretty big. I’ll get around to them at some point. I did built a post-war American aircraft carrier last year for a friend. Hated the kit, it’s an either Revel or Monogram, almost garbage. Did the best I could with it.

I do love old warships, particularly battleships. I need to study up on how to detail and weather them.
