Based in Sweden and South Australia. Armour, soft skin, aviation, weird contraptions, anything goes on my build table.
Today I spent a few hours at the local IPMS Stockholm show, ModelExpo 08 Open. Lots of wonderful models, some very unique others not so very but still very skillfully made. For various reasons I chose not to participate with any models [...]
