the models of ... Roy Charnock
My name is Roy Charnock, I'm 45 and a structural steelwork engineer and have been working with steelwork in one form or another since I left school at 16. I've been modelling on and off since I was a nipper. I have only been modelling 1/35th scale armour for about 5 years, previous to this I was scratch building large scale RC aircraft and scale RC boats. I'm an active member of IPMS Warrington and regularly exhibit models on our display up and down the UK. My main subjects in modelling are post WWII Soviet / Eastern block armour, the more unusual the better. I don't mind building resin or plastic kits. I also have a collection of 1/35th scale German WWII railway locos and rolling stock and a collection of 1/35th scale German rail guns which includes a Dora which I hope to begin over Christmas.

Trumpeter MAZ Tank Transporter / T80 ... The kit was built straight from the box originally, but on completion I thought the trailer was a bit devoid of detail so I added brake lines, air cylinders, air lines hydraulic pipes and electrical wiring., all reference taken from the two excellent Tankograd publications. The model was airbrushed in Humbrol enamels, green was applied first as a basic covering. The camo was applied freehand via an airbrush. The light grey was applied first and then black, the trick is to keep tight with as little overspray as possible. The model was then pinwashed and then drybrushed, weathering was achieved using Life Colour pigments. The T80 is the Skiff offering and was built with the addition of an Eduard PE kit.

T80 UD ... This is the Revell T80, it's retooled from the Zvesda / DML kit built straight from the box. The model was then airbrushed using Humbrol enamels. The base colour was light earth then the camo was airbrushed freehand starting with the green and then the black. The complete model was then colourwashed with black and then dry brushed.

Welcome to the Members Model Gallery. To have your models featured here, simply submit your photographs to me. Please also consider sharing your models with a wider audience by submitting an article of your build to the Editor of the IPMS (UK) members magazine. You should include your name, membership number, and brief details of the model submitted, i.e; (manufacturer, scale, oob / converted, aftermarket bits & pieces used, hints and tips on building the model which you think would be useful to other modellers), that sort of thing. The model should be reasonably well lit and in focus and posed on a suitable uncluttered background, no weird colours or patterns please. Size of photograph is not a problem, (benefits of broadband), but I may crop and resize the photo.

So, what are you waiting for? ...
