Hi, i'm Simon from Austria
I got actively back into the hobby in 2021.
Modeling has been a part of my life since I left Lego.
In between there were always a few breaks and a few years in the fantasy tabletop scene, but it never let go of me.
Before that I worked in 1/35 scale and after I got back I learned to love the 72nd scale.
Inspired by the modeler Sergey Golikov.

"Behind the front line"- U.S. Army, Winter 1944/45

This scene is supposed to represent an improvised medical station in the rear area of the main battle lines for the fastest possible first aid of injured soldiers. I didn´t give a more precise location or date, because I wasn´t [...]

E-75 s.Pz.Jg Ausf.M 10,5cm L/62 (1/72)

E-75 variant as heavy tank destroyer. I derived "Ausf.M" from the Marder III Ausf.M, which indicates a design with a centrally mounted engine. The E-Tank series is quite popular with me, because I find the design with the many [...]

M109A7 Paladin SPH (1/72)

M109A7 Paladin Self- Propelled Howitzer (Foeart No. 2002) I like the design of the new generation M109 howitzer, so I chose this kit for a "quick project". For the painting, I allowed myself some freedom and chose a somewhat [...]

Flakpanzer on E-75 Standardpanzer chassis. 5,5cm Zwillingsflak- Gerät 58, Rheinmetall turret. For this project i´ve used Modelcollect´s UA72019 kit. This kit is based on their pre- built collection series, which means that all the tools [...]

Alkett Vs.Kfz.617/ NK-101 Minenräumer This vehicle for cleaning minefields was designed by Alkett, Krupp, and Daimler-Benz and one prototype was built by the Alkett Werke. But this scheme failed in the tests and was never built in larger [...]

KV-85 Heavy Breakthrough Tank (1/72)

A few words to the KV-85: KV-85 was the last version of the KV tank series to be produced (mid 1943) and was intended as an interim solution until the IS-1 tank, which was still under trial, was put into service. The latter IS-1 was [...]

VK 72.01(K) Paper Panzer (1/72)

Armory's VK 72.01(K) Another paper tank/ what- if project of mine. As far as I have learned, only a scale wood model was made by Krupp and no documents may have survived. Design from 1942 for a 72 ton class vehicle. ...however, I have to [...]

E-50 Standardpanzer (Paper Panzer) (1/72)

E-50 tank in an alternative variant design. My idea behind it was to create a slight departure from the previously known E-50/ 75 designs and incorporated elements of Panther and Panther II. I reduced the original tracks width and used [...]
