TOADMAN'S TANK PICTURES
ABOUT ME
I'm Chris "toadman" Hughes. I've been building models off and on for the past 30 years or so. I've also been taking pictures of military vehicles periodically for about the past 20 years.
I spent 8 years in the US Army Reserve as a UH-1H helicopter mechanic and as single channel radio operator(RATT section). I'm married with two children and currently work as a residential real estate appraiser.
My photos have appeared in the following books and magazines:
My favorite modeling subjects are Shermans, especially post-World War II foreign aid exports along with US armor used by foreign nations after WW II. I haven't finished anything in the last 5 years due to work and family commitments but I should have an Indian or Yugoslavian Army M4A3E4 Sherman completed in the next couple of months along with a Merkava I.
The majority of my early digital pictures were taken with a Sony Mavica. Now, the vast majority of my pictures are shot with a 6.1 megapixel Nikon D70 digital SLR.
