Heres a Tiger I and Px IV, both loaded with extra (resin-cast) parts of mine, crew, and a metal barrel (on the Tiger I).
Below those area desert trio, with a mteal barrelled wespe, Praga tank, and a very heavily customzed Hummel with all the tricks.

It’s not perfect, but it has the same level of detail as a regular axis and allies piece considering it’s size. I’m not sure I will need help designing anymore. I figured it out for myself.[0_1603832941634_Type 59 (1).stl](Uploading 100%)
Thanks, will give that try. The other/combined issue is that it is so pliable that the plastic bends and the paint peels off also. Might even try a dip in super glue or something.
All 4 of the weapons that appeared on this churchill. Done with swappable barrels. Extra goodies like a field-mounted US MG (scarfed from a halftrack, you can see part of the ring mount), antannaes, and crew stuff like tarps, tent, etc. AAM “V2” mini comes with battle damage also, and wear from crew.
Thank you. I still make plenty of models, I just have to spend less time posting them. I have way too many irons in the fire, but I wish I had time to post all the stuff I do. A lot of it, I paint, let dry, then pack and ship, thinking later “oops, I didnt scan it”. :(
This is a complete diorama, and the 88 flak comes off for use all by itself. Crew are positioned so the gun (which swivels) can rotate without hitting any. The front shield comes off, for use as the “other” flak. Thier is also a high velocity crucible mount 88mm AT gun which will mount on this very same base. This high velocity 88 is part of another order, and isnt completed yet.
Scrb brushes (3) are on the base, and made with camel hair. Resin cast ammo crates and ammunition are present. But no empty shell cases, as this crew has just set up. One crewman is pulling the camo netting down to be set up. Note that many of the crewman have had weapons and excessive packs removed, since heavy gun crews left such things on thier vehicle. One man has had his jacket trimmed down and now looks to be wearing just his white undershirt. One man has a panzershriek modified into a rangefinder.

Of course, I dont have any actual Brenn Guns, so Vickers guns had to do, but they fit quite neice. Crew are from Brit MG team (previously cannibalized for the guns, I knew the chopped-up gunners would be worth saving for something) and some of the Rats crew are from the HQ unit.
All have treads paintes rust orange with black/brown ink mix over that, then silver added. Chassis have fender and hull rust, as well as weathered-over insignias.
3x Desert Rats Valentines and 3x Rats Crusaders to come soon.
