Just restarted this hobby from childhood time. Now being 46 there is still so much to explore.
Living in the WWII Market Garden area (I can see ‘Bridge Eleven’ through the window when I’m building) at first I tried to focus on models used during that famous operation. The last few months I’ve working on some early 20th century vehicles as well.
Just a few days before he underwent major heart surgery my father in law told me about his military service. During that time he was trained to drive an “AMX-tank”, but this being more than 50 years ago, unfortunately he didn’t [...]
This should be my masterpiece since restarting the hobby about a year ago. What a build (and work) is has been. But I’m very happy with the result.
This summer I was able to buy the Trumpeter Baureihe 52 mit Steifrahmentender (00210) for [...]
After reading Hemingways A farewell to arms I got inspired to build a WWI aircraft. I chose the Albatros and painted it in the Jasta-scheme. The first part of the build was really enjoyable, even more because of the Quinta Studio [...]

When I restarted my old modeling-hobby last year this Italeri-kit from was one of the first kits I bought. After building some armour I thought it was time to give this one a chance. Geoff Duke won the Dutch TT in Assen on this bike in [...]
This little German car from ICM was an enjoyment to build. For some reason the vehicle catched my eye for some time, so I decided buy and spend some time on this kit. Eventhough the parts fit very well, because of a lot of tiny parts it [...]
After reading about the (short) fights at Bridge Eleven during operation Market Garden I decided to build a German Truck. I didn’t manage to find out which German truck entered the bridge at Grave shortly after lieutenant Thompson and [...]
These two Trumpeter-kits took me a lot of time to build. So many tiny parts… But I enjoyed it a lot. The manuals weren’t that clear at some points. For instance where the axle of the half-track rear wheel should be placed. I had to [...]
Just finished this beauty. Me and my wife have been watching Downton Abbey for quite a while and the beautiful early 20th-century cars made me think about building one. This ICM-model of the Renault type AG comes close to the Renault Lord [...]
