Cromwell ARV tank in 1-144

I just finished my work on the British recovery tank. As you can see on the pictures, the rebuild is not that challenging, all you have to do is

- remove the turret
- close the hole with a plate and two small openings 
- add the crane on the side
- add some boxes and additional stuff for the crew
- add the wire for the towing job

I hope soon I present you the tank together with some other stuff on a small diorama.

on my bench at the moment

As I do not have that much time at the moment I can show you only some stuff what is waiting for me.

- I started a diorama with a bunker with an Panzer II turret on it

- a diorama with some British tanks in recovery

- a Famo with an Bilstein crane on his back

- a mini diorama with a narrow gauge train

Bunkers in San Francisco part II

Besides nice sunburn and some tired feet I'm back from a 7 hour walking / driving tour. As several times before the weather was very foggy and changed very fast. So from sunshine to total fog, everything was on my list.
Here the first impression:

Back from vacation


So the summer time is over for me - as far as vacation is meant. The vacation with the kids from Switzerland was amazing. But not only that I had a nice time with them, they brought me some foam plates and other stuff which is hard to get here.
Anyway, I promised to publish some better pictures from my last photo shooting. You remember this grey unclear picture I posted. 
So what was it? Yes it is an American Bunker from World War II.
The Bunker is located close to San Francisco and was if I’m right a kind of command post for the big guns at the entrance of the San Francisco port.
So here are some more pictures. I know the quality is not that good, but that day it was fucky and raining. I hope you like them anyway.

Here is the link to the folder with all pictures:
