Finally my full scale replica of a German Kar98 WWII rifle. The Germans have had some very interesting weapons, and it's a shame they were used by Hitler's Nazi weirdos.

I have always been impressed by the details involved in putting models together.  When I was a girl it was something that the boys did, but it always looked like fun to me.  Thanks for sharing the photos Adam.

Here's my newest. 1/700 scale battlecruiser HMS Hood. The Hood was Great Britain's most famous warship since she entered service in 1920. In May 1941, Hood exploded and sank after a hit by the German battleship Bismarck during the battle of the Denmark Strait. Out of a crew of 1,418, only three men were rescued.

Great work Adam. If you ever come across a M18 Hellcat Tank from WWII I would be willing to pay you to build it and send it to me. It would be a rare find but would mean a lot to me. There were only 2018 of the actual Tank built by Pontiac (I think) in Detroit because they were faster and more powerful then a Sherman.
