So here’s how my thinking went on this one: I have the Azur Vautour IIN in the stash and I want to do the “blue and sand” Israeli version. But, I wanted to test those colors out first. One of the marking choices in the Eduard [...]

The Last of the Many

by Stellan Schroeder Englund on March 28, 2020 · in Uncategorized · 33 ≡

Some days ago, when stockpiling was all in fashion due to the novel corona virus, I got an idea for a simple model: a roll of toilet paper. An actual live size roll acted as an original for this 1/10 scale model of it. A piece of styrene [...]
