by Wes Pennest on March 21, 2023 · in Armor · 7 ≡

Let's start talking about the T-72 by talking about the T-90 instead. Having first seen service in 1973, the T-72 has experienced a multitude of evolutions and developments. Ultimately, the improvements have been codified into a totally [...]

And now for something completely different…

by Alfred van Paaschen on March 20, 2023 · in Automotive · 15 ≡

I wanted a model of my youngtimer 1991 BMW E30 cabrio, but could not find any kit. So I decided to disassemble a die cast model and gave it a paint job to resemble the color combination of my car. Think it turned out pretty well. What do [...]
