1/72 Tabletop Session: BEF vs. Blitzkrieg 1940
My now 11-year-old son and I staged this tabletop fracas recently, pitting everything British that could be taken to be active in the 1940 French campaign against the converse on the German side.
1/72 Fw190 A-3: Tamiya War Bird #66
I built this one concurrently with the Bf109G-6 I recently posted, and my experience was similar: I love these Tamiya War Bird Collection kits — and here, as with the […]

1/72 British in Normandy Collection
In this diorama I wanted to showcase mainly the British vehicles I have recently completed. You’ll see PSC and Airfix, with vehicles and figures from both makers, in a setting that has stone houses and a walled farm (Airfix’s La Haye Sainte!), recalling the terrain through which British forces had to battle during Operation Epsom in late June, 1944.
