Attila, the Scourge of God
I was told that Attila king of the Huns (406 - 453) was a very brutal man that used to attack enemies with storms of fire, so when I had to depict the Art Girona 54mm figure I decided to test those fire and ashes on a vignette. And someone [...]
Major Overhaul – Stage 3
Ok guys. Here is stage 3. As you can see, since stage 2 was posted sometime ago, I've added a scratch built steel truss with an overhead crane. The overhead crane is a kit from Walthers. Yes, it is a HO scale railroad kit. But within the [...]
T-72B variant in Syria 2016 – MENG + Diorama
I started this project right after the Arco dei Fileni build. The concept centers around an ongoing conflict, in Syria and involves a modern MBT, still in use today. I not normally build modern vehicles – leave Russian ones – but [...]
D9R – ‘Major Overhaul’ Diorama – Stage 2

Strafing (Hanriot 232/2 diorama)
Hello to everyone!
I finally decided to strafe my french Hanriot H232/2 kit from AZUR (not an easy one, I warn you). From the 35 aircrafts produced only 20 survived the german attack over France, so I guessed some of them might be strafed [...]
Volvo LM 841 (weathering & diorama commission work)
I was given a brand new Volvo LM 841 to weather as well as make a small vignette, for a friend of mine, Rickard Algotsson. I decided to give this 1:50 scale model a go. It's a beautiful model with great details. Surprisingly enough, it is [...]
Scout Trooper and Speeder Bike project: Bandai 1/12
