Resin Fantasy Bust 1/10

I had fun painting this bust but as always the result is never as good as I envisioned it when I started. Still, for every model one builds, some learning is gained.

German Submarine Type XXI

At the beginning of 1945 with type XXI Germany had the most advanced submarine in the world at that time. Due to numerous technical innovations it was capable of unlimited submerged travel as the diesel engines drew in the necessary fresh [...]

Zundapp KS 750 with sidecar

After building the tiny INDIAN 741B I wanted to try another motorcycle but a bigger scale. So, I got me an ITALERI kit of the Zundapp KS 750 with the sidecar scale 1:9 and boy was it bigger. Still, a fun kit to build with lots of detail [...]

Outpost in Libya, fall 1941

Sd.Kfz. 222 Leichter Panzerspähwagen

Information from the TAMIYA instruction manual; “In the early 1930s, under weapon restrictions enforced by the Versailles Treaty, the German army was limited to using Kfz.13 armored vehicles. However, based on the chassis of an Adler [...]
