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.

M1A1 Abrams- Anniston Army Depot (1/72)

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 [...]

US Medium Tank M3A1 Lee- Fort Knox, Armored Force School 1942 (1/72)

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 [...]

Pz.Kpfw.II Ausf.F

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 w. 5,5cm FlaK55, Germany in late 1945- What-If/1946

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 [...]

T-80BV Russian MBT (1/72)

Trumpeter's T-80BV. (07145) At Trumpeter 1/72nd scale models, i'm always a bit skeptical about quality as far as details are concerned. They are not bad, clean casting and good fit and so on, also here everything is available, but I am [...]

EXA Vehicle (Armored Assault Mecha Ver.) (1:144)

EXA Vehicle- Armored Assault Mecha (Bandai Spirits 5063940) A small project that should bring in some variety once again 😉. At the same time my first mecha- kit. Gundams or Mechas have been on my to-do list for some time, but the effort [...]

TKS Tankette, Poland 1934 (1/72)

The smallest vehicle i've ever build so far! I decided to use a pre-war camouflage for my object. It was called "Japanese camouflage pattern" and was used until 1936. The colors used were olive green, light gray and sand brown, [...]

Sd.Kfz.184 Ferdinand, Russia 1943 (1/72)

A "Ferdinand" in Russia- Eastern Front 1943. The idea is based on two original pictures which gave me the inspiration. I used the kit of Dragon (7515). The actual idea was to represent the "Elefant", but this kit has [...]

IDF Merkava Mk.IV (1/72)

This is one of my first finished projects in 1/72nd scale. For this project i've used the HobbyBoss Merkava Mk.IV (82915). A nice kit with good details. I removed the fan and exhaust grills and changed them through PE grills. I also [...]
