Maiale, The diorama

by Geir Andersen on January 29, 2019 · in Diorama · 12 ≡

This feels a bit like cheating as I squeeze two articles from one model but the S.L.C. “Maiale” seemed a bit lonely sitting on my shelf in its cradle so I decided to make another diorama. The ship hull was fun to build. Even if it’s [...]
