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.
A "recycling project" of mine.
Since I switched to my new main scale 1/72nd, I don't work any longer in 1/35th scale.
However, there is still material left for residual recycling.
The T-34 turret belongs to a Dragon kit (6584), [...]
Trumpeter's M4A1
(07222)
A nice little kit but it also has a few disadvantages but if you are looking for quick fun, you should still be well served.
Here I also use the opportunity to reduce my inventory of conversion parts a bit;).
There [...]
Zveda's M3 Scout Car
(6245)
Another 1/100 "quicktime" project.
And once again, building the base took much more time than the model itself😄
I really like the White scout car and halftracks because of their shape and [...]
The Steyr RSO (Raupenschlepper Ost) is a full-track tractor that was developed and built for the Wehrmacht during World War II. It was intended to facilitate the supply of the fighting units under the problematic road, ground and weather [...]
Soviet SU-76M
(Zvezda 6239)
I´ve planed to fix this project within two days- As a small New Year's challenge 😉
Didn't quite work, the processing of the base took too much time...
However, quite a nice kit and for it´s size quite good [...]
Panther Ausf.G form Vespid Models
(VS720008)
A kit that can only be recommended.
Fine and sharp details and the accuracy of fit is on the whole quite good.
Only the rollers and the swing arms had slight tolerances during assembly.
But the [...]
The idea for this project came to me while reading the new issue of the AK Wornart Collection.
Representing an M1 in this form seemed like a good idea to me;).
It is intended to represent a used M1 that is stored in the Army depot and [...]
M3A1- The right choice if you like cast armor 😉
The quality of the Mirage kit (72803) was better than I had feared.
The lower structure was traditionally multi-part to assemble, but the parts fit together without problems.
Only on the [...]
Found this kit in the local toy store.
It was a spontaneous idea to join the Matchbox Group Build on Scalemates.
Saw, bought and built the model within 2.5 hours.
The idea was to paint the whole thing with the paint brush without using the [...]
E-50 Flakpanzer
(Trumpeter, 07124)
One of the biggest mistakes of the Trumpeter box art is that they always show their 1/35 models on it, therefore, the content doesn´t quite match what is shown.
The kit doesn´t contain many parts and is [...]
