Small Scale Military Headquarters

I know lately that pickelhaube has put alot of custom work out, does anyone have theirs done yet?

Myself, I'm working on the dozer kit and have got it about 90% done, I was just wondering who has got his customs done?

It would be neat to see what everyone has done with his kits, the 222 pictures were great and the Sherman varients, but no one has really posted the latest stuff ( me included ).

i was trying to post some pics of my buddy Robbie's projects. But do not know how to transfer them from e-mail to here.

He has almost everything that I have made and has done a fantastic job on them.

You just need to download them off your email server and once they are on your PC re-upload them to whatever online photo service you use.

Will right clicking and saving not work? I wanna see these!!!!

Well, heres the Dozer as I have got to so far, a few little fabbing and sanding and paint and it will be ready, I don't have a dedicated work staion ( sometimes in the polebarn or at the kitchen table ).

This is where I keep my collection in the house and I am still working on getting things organized.













Sorry about the pictures, my camera and the photographer suck.

Honey where is the TV?
Oh about that... I needed more room for planes.

Yeah, I should have figured you catch that , we had repainted and I have'nt put the tv,surround sound or playstation back up, I would try to come up with some lame excuse, but I have none

What a lovely room for your collection! So many scale that you have, I'm expecting to see the painted dozer sherman! Good work on that kit!!

I hope I can statring my firefly (Pickle custom) next then making Bri tanker for it. But I have to do motor rider first.

I had that same entertainment center when I was in college, I drug that thing all over the state! Thanks for sharing your pictures.

I can't remember when we got that entertainment center, needless to say its old, this room is above the garage and it has caught all the castoffs of furniture over the years, but now its mine

Thanks for the comments.

It took me a while to take the plunge into Pickelhaube's custom kits and my first was the SDK-222 earlier this year. It was sort of a trial by fire that turned into one of my favorite 1:18 vehicles I've since built the German motorcycle sidecar and various other small projects and am seriously considering the T-34 when its ready. Pickelhaube's kits do require a bit of work (mainly sanding and puttying) but are well crafted and quality work. I'm no master model-builder, but have been very pleased with the results I've gotten from Pickelhaube's kits

Here are some of my completed projects:

SDK-222:


Humvee Turret Shield:


German Motorcycle & Sidecar:


M1 Abrams APU & CIP Panels:

Thats what I'm talking about , great looking models, thanks for sharing. I'm sure that there are alot out there, maybe someone is painting one right now so he can get it on here, thanks.

Ram 04,

You are lucky to have a place to display your stuff. I get banished out to the shed

T Man,

Sweet !!!!!!!

I take pride and joy looking at you guys use of my kits.

In a lot of ways I am green with envy because you guys get them and build them and put them on display.

I just don't have the time to build anything for myself anymore. Sure I build them for other guys but that is it , other guys.

I finally learned how to down load pics off of e-mail. Here are a few pics of Master Modeler Robbie P. of Oregon handy work.

He gets just about everything that I make and then takes them to a whole other level.

I have a lot more if you guys would like , I will post them in the post that I tried to make but could not get the pics to work.

Check these out this guys has skills

Wow, that guy has some talent , between him, plasticboy and others I'm ashamed to even show my stuff

Thats what I like about this site, you have all different skill levels, I really enjoy seeing everyones work, some guys are better than others, but we all enjoy the same thing.

What da beautiful work on those kits! Fantastic paint job, thanks for sharing!!

There is no shame to show your stuff, I'm sure everyone are enjoy the result from all members.

Great looking stuff from Robbie P.

And thanks for providing all these customs, Matthew. Your dedication, and hard work are appreciated, and you provide some great options to all the members here.

Here's a few of the "pavehawk kit"

This thread is really inspiring me to complete some of this kits I have. Great work, please keep it going. I want one of those 222's so bad I can taste it.

I recall seeing a picture of Robbie's M1 posted some time ago in an earlier thread... His amazing work was the inspiration behind my attempt. Simply fantastic work on his part

...and pcoughran's Pavehawk looks awesome as well

PCoughran your Pavey looks GREAT !!!

Ram 04 what is the latest on that dozer Sherman with wading trunks ?

I would love to see it

Thanks Pickel,
I still want to do a DAP version of the blackhawk if you ever get enough interest to do the different winglets, chain gun, etc...
I saw someone is wanting to do the Blackhawk Skis - that would be cool, but I'm saving my last blackhawk (still in the box) for a DAP gunship.
One of these days maybe?
