Tank Time Update

The rash of tank building while the majority of the bench is packed away continues.

The Trumpeter KV-2 is through main construction, save one run of friul tracks.

Up next? The Cyber-Hobby Orange Box M4A4 Sherman, which is destined for a kickin’ natural metal finish. But for now, like the others, is just going to ramp through construction.

After the Sherman, I’m thinking I may tackle Dragon’s Late Production Tiger I Ausf.E. But we’ll see.

In other news, I’m really missing aircraft! Especially since UPS-Claus dropped off this honey of a kit today:

The Mk.XIV is my favorite Spitfire. The snarling Griffon engine, the absurd five-bladed prop, the fact that it played a key role in shooting down Nazi V-1 flying bombs (and, occasionally, tipping them with its wingitps!). Love this plane, and somebody’s finally made one in big, beautiful 1/32 scale.

Now I just need to get this move done and get my bench back.

Doogs

Hi there. Name’s Matt. Or Doogs, if you prefer. Since this is an About page, let’s get straight to it. I’m 30. Married. Father to an adorable little boy, beautiful baby girl, and four dogs. During the day, I’m an associate creative director at a social media agency in Austin, TX. In my free time (such as it is), I write. Or wrote. Or try to write. Historical fiction, mostly. It’s a nice contrast to the digital content and social media strategeriness that I live with every day. I also get all interested in cars, photography, technology, politics, history, movies, and knitting. Actually, scratch that last. I can barely tie yarn in a knot.
