Just restarted this hobby from childhood time. Now 45 and 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) I’m trying to focus on models used during that famous operation. We’ll see how that will work out.

German le.gl.Einheits-Pkw Kfz. 4 (ICM 35584) 1/35

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 [...]

This is one of my first builds after restarting this hobby. I hadn’t discovered wheatering-techniques during this build, so will have a look on that the next few months. The paratroopers (Italeri) make it a bit more lively. Living close [...]

Tamiya Mazda MX-5 Roadster 1/24

Since I restarted this childhood hobby of mine, my 9 year old daughter kept asking if she could play with the models I’ve built. That’s why I choose to build this Mazda MX-5 from Tamiya for her. It’s a car I’ve always loved, and a [...]
