As I’m a bit reluctant to venture into the complex world of aircraft modelers I decided to start small and got this small 1:35 resin kit.
It is probably a pirate copy as the kit arrived with no instructions of any kind. It took a lot of [...]
My latest build is the Stug III O-series from MiniArt. As I understand it the O-series was a prototyping series for the Stug III and was only used in research and development, and later for training.
So, these tanks were probably never [...]
So, I’m back with another midget submarine this time the German Biber from WW2. I don’t know what it is with these submarines but they just appeal to me and I have the utmost respect for the men that operated them.
As for the model, [...]
So, this didn’t work out. The plan is to have a stand-off diorama and the E-100 Jagdpanzer is way to big for this setup. And as I later discovered the E-100 is something that is found in World of Tanks but probably never been [...]
So, I’m planning a new diorama that includes at least two tanks.

Last Christmas I got the Takom King Tiger kit with full interior from my wife (talk about real love, giving your old man toys for Christmas).
When I opened the box, I realized that this is probably way over my skill level but as it was a [...]
This feels a bit like cheating as I squeeze two articles from one model but the S.L.C. “Maiale” seemed a bit lonely sitting on my shelf in its cradle so I decided to make another diorama.
The ship hull was fun to build. Even if it’s [...]
I do enjoy the On This Day… series from David Leigh-Smith and on his December 3rd entry there was a comment from Mon Falcone on the S.L.C Maiale that caught my eye.
