The air-landing "Helldiver" is built almost 100% out of the box - just some hydraulics were added inside of the opened air brakes on the lower legs, and the head received some hydraulic rams as added details.
Furthermore the cockpit hatch was with the pilot lifted high enough to have a look "out of the Labor's breast" - it's actually a 1:72 figure, but it's acceptable as a 1:60 Japanese person ;)
Painting was done with Tamiya Acrylics, and the kit slightly weathered/dusted.
The small diorama was built on a 8x8" base, with real wood pieces and real earth for the forest ground it is supposed to simulate. Additionally, some moss and foam leafs were used.
Here's the reissue of the classic 60's model kit of The Munsters family car The Munster Koach. I'm a much better model builder when it comes to figures. My 50 something eyes had problems with this one as I messed up on the positioning of some of the motor's parts. Anyhow it came out pretty good and I'm ready to park it at 1313 Mockingbird Lane.
I always used to take pictures of my model kits when I was younger albeit with a cheap point and shoot. Pretty cheap and crappy pictures but I suppose it was one of my reasons to start taking pictures.

London transport rear engined Leyland Cub with LT bodywork by RTC in white metal, built and painted by myself many years ago. 1/76th scale.
Hace un par de semanas me acerqué a casa de mi amigo Álvaro que es un experto maquetista, y su colección me dejó literalmente con la boca abierta.
Al verlas todas expuestas en vitrinas transparentes y tan bien terminadas, no hicieron falta ni cinco minutos para que empezara a imaginar lo bien que podrían quedar algunas fotos al aire libre simulando que son vehículos reales.
En su colección tiene aviones, carros de combate, helicópteros, vehículos blindados y hasta submarinos; pero fue el VCR-105 Centauro el que me más me llamó la atención por su gran parecido al vehículo real y con el que más fácil me resultaría conseguir unas fotos en las que una maqueta de 30cm pareciese un vehículo de más de 7 metros y 25 toneladas de peso.
El B1 Centauro es un vehículo blindado de combate de ocho ruedas diseñado para reconocimiento táctico y cazacarros.
Italeri Armored Pick-up, converted to civilian use. Painted Apple Green, custom suspension. Wheel from Aoshima, Tyres from 1/32 Tamiya.

An old Hubley kit I bought in an antique store recently. It was partially built, but unpainted, and with none of the metal parts cleaned or filed (what was this builder thinking!?!?) So i tore it down, did all the metal, and body work, and this is how it came out.
I kept it simple and box stock, since its an antique. I'm also dsplaying it with the original box.
View from a different angle on the pseudo Bundeswehr "Brocken" (not sure whether the name was derived from the German mountain "Brocken" in the Harz area, or a wacky translation for "big hulk", also a potential and matching translation?).
The small (8" x 8") self-made diorama shows some heath area with a small river that would be typical for a site at the (former) inner-German frontier, where the "Brocken" would have served to drive off Soviet pact armies. But reality overtook fiction ;)
The "Brocken" is finished in semi-authentic Bundeswehr colors and with some added weaponry (single action 75mm gun, anti tank missiles, IR spotlight) and details.
Moving the camera around the model to make like the model is moving. Rough attempt. Not polished.
