Tanks & Trolls

Commissions taken!

Feel free to drop me an email (check the contacts page) and discuss things, I will have a go at just about anything if the price is right! :O)

Below are a few past commissions which I have undertaken to demonstrate the level and quality of work.

Past Commissions

This is a little gallery of just some of the work I have done in the past

'Michael Wittmann' commission

Wanted an accurate portrayal of Wittmann's uniform, I included the sandwich at no extra cost :P

A few odds n ends

120mm Lara!

1/16 Leopard crew

120mm Verlinden 'Nam tank riders

Small Dark Angels commision

Specifics required, red chest eagles, numerals from 11-20, apart from that your bog standard Angels

GW Land Raider re-paint

Shame I didnt have any pics of this before, was worse than the Blade below. Coloured in with felt tip pens before I rescued it!

A seperate turret was purchased to create a unique 'scout vehicle' variant

Yes, before this it was actually decorated using felt tip pens..aaaaaargh!

One hell of a scout tank!!!

Looks like they may have had some unexpected visitors looking at that disembodied arm!

Also as requested a tribute to Star trek ;)

GW Baneblade painted to accompany 'golden' marines

Was sent a baneblade ebay purchase, bit of a mess! Brushed up quie nicely though :)

The original Blade as supplied, nice additions but a little rough around the edges!

Finished tank

Thats what I call a scout vehicle!

Tamiya King Tiger 303 Basic build with a little added detail such as engine grills, opening hatches, crew and metal tracks, makes for a nice model once weathered!

Tamiya King Tiger 332

Basic build wanting slight weathing and King Tiger 332 markings

Tamiya King Tiger, lots of metal upgrades! This was a fun model to build, wanted in a nice clean factory finish, LOTS of extra detail pieces including; Metal muzzle break, aber grill and screw set, metal tools, opening hull hatch, sprung commanders hatch, track hooks, rear metal detail set, metal tow cables with holders, gear reduction kit, axle bracing set and a few other bits I probably forgot!

Tamiya Tiger 1, various metal upgrades This time a Tiger (for a change!). Again wanted in a nice clean 'factory finish'. Some nice metal upgrade pieces, the spare track and brackets were particularly nice

Tamiya Leopard 2A6, NATO 3 colour finish, Metal upgrades Another pristine factory finish Leo required here.This one was particularly nice as it inlcuded lots of upgrades including the fantastic ally wheels and metal suspension parts!

Tamiya Leopard 2A6, NATO 3 colour finish

Another pristine factory finish Leo required here. I swear I can strip these things down in 20 seconds while blindfolded now!

Full option Elefant, ambush camo Something to get the purests spitting out their cornflakes at breakfast. I quite like this one actually, who cares if officially it never existed :O)

Tamiya Leopard 2A6, pre-Nato, OD finish

This chap wanted an Olive drab Pre-3 tone NATO factory finish, gotta say I do really like the shiny satin look, might just get me an A4 to finish the collection off now!!!

Hen Long Tiger 1, S02 Camo Standard Hen Long Tiger, a few optional extras added and a nice S02 Camo scheme. All the additonal upgrades are available from www.tankzone.co.uk

Static Tamiya Tiger 1

This was a standard Static Tamiya kit, customer simply wanted a light dusting over and a few details picked out

Hen Long Tiger, Roughed up!

This customer wanted the Tiger a little more 'battle weary'!

nothing structural changed just spruced up the outside with a little spit and polish :O)

Little mud here, little stowage there, bobs your uncle, fanny's your aunt, you have yourself a decent looking tank at a fraction of the cost of the Tamiya beasties!

I was pretty impressed by the 'cheap' Hen Long tank to be honest, really has some potential for conversions, in fact one on order as we speak for a planned Sturmtiger!!!

Bandai Panzer IV

This was a huge project to upgrade the tank with additional armour and 'full option' it up so it had all the functions of a Tamiya tank. After building my own I swore I would never go into such a project again, well, here I am and I swear I will never....
