Ladies, Gentlemen, never, never let the urge overcome you to open a long forgotten box: You're looking here at the scrap yard of almost four decades of military modelling. Most of these sad relicts once succumbed to the horrors of toy soldier battles ...
I'm begging your pardon for this trip down memory lane but I want to show some of these wrecks before putting them away, maybe forever: This is one of my very first IDF kit bashattempts: Upgunning Monogram's 1/32 M8 with a Tamiya's early Matilda kit turret.
This one is even crazier. Sometimes shortly after Desert Storm I turned the venerable @ItaleriModelKit German Panzer 38 into a modern US Light Tank with 30 mm gun and TOW ...
Back in the days you couldn't get more firepower for less pocket money than with Tamiya's Saladin. I had two of them, because firepower against enemy toy soldiers was everything!
I must say I'm not sure about this one but as far as I remember this is a 1/32 Monogram or Revell Snap Kit Bronco which received Hummer wheels. Together with the Italeri TOW carrier in the back it teamed up to form my 900th Devil's brigade!

Another Desert Storm inspired build and one of the many Hummers I did in the early 90s was Esci's Avenger with Stinger missile launchers. Not much left of this one though ...
Speaking of anti aircraft missiles in a sorry state. I never finished repainting Aurora's 1/40 Hawk launcher.
The last one of tonight's horror show: this dinghy trailer was towed by the Bronco and formed the Devil's brigade's pioneer equipment. I guess I did this one after watching 'A Bridge Too Far'. Dinghies provided by Matchbox and Heller, trailer by Tamiya.
Oki doki, these have survived the cut, the rest has gone to the bin. I hope you found this thread somewhat entertaining, now back to serious modelling again. Back to the Tiran project.
