Truck Axle Service
This is another small and quick vignette I made in-between my current major truck build. Yes, I have been doing quite a lot of them lately. I wanted something to take with me to the GGG exhibition in Sweden, in two weeks time. So I came up [...]
“I’m telling you, Rudi, there’s something not right about that cam.."!
I like dioramas that tell a story, catch an important snapshot of time, or freeze the possibilities of our futures in one fleeting moment.
I started this build as something of an answer to a challenge to build some armour, and that grew [...]
Finished Bandai 1/144 Millennium Falcon
Sometimes you have those builds that get out of hand, this was one of those. This particular build started out as a "paint mule" for my upcoming build of Bandai's 72nd scale Falcon that came out last fall.
Things quickly took a [...]
“Make a Deal”
I am planning a truck diorama, possibly two. But I decided to do a quick build. I do not usually do cars, but I had bought the 'Revell Citroen 2CV Sausss Ente', to do a futuristic project, but decided not to go ahead with the project any [...]
Belgium 1944 – Diorama in 1/35 scale.

1/700 Akagi 1942 : The Battle of Midway (1)
I remodeled Akagi that I built three years ago.
Recently, I've been remodeling something I made before.
Last time, like USS Franklin.
For the time being I will remodel some of them this way.
I will make diorama with those that are [...]
HMB Endeavour Diorama Project
This is a project I've been working on a couple of months now. It's Mantua's 1/60 model of the Bark Endeavour, which I'm developing into a diorama.
I bought the kit in an online auction for £30; it still retails for £160+ so it may seem [...]
The Airport Rotating Beacon
Every airport diorama needs a rotating beacon. To fill that function, I purchased a Lionel rotating beacon, model 494. However there are many problems with accuracy, as this unit is intended for "O" scale electric train [...]
